Working closely with Architecture and Design practices, workplace consultants, corporate occupiers and project decision makers, you will understand project requirements, advise on appropriate solutions and position the business at the relevant stage of the specification and procurement cycle.

You will be expected to create meaningful market activity through studio visits, showroom presentations, design consultations, product training, project meetings, industry networking and targeted business development.

You will manage your own commercial activity, assigned accounts, project pipeline and market development strategy, supported by established UK and international teams across sales support, technical design, operations, logistics, marketing, finance and aftersales.

Essential experience and attributes include:

A strong track record in proactive specification led business development within premium, design led commercial interiors

Are you an experienced B2B order management and customer service professional with sales support experience who takes pride in managing customer requirements accurately, communicating clearly and seeing every enquiry through to completion?

This is an opportunity to join an internationally recognised manufacturer of premium commercial interior products, known for quality, design, sustainability and a strong commitment to customer service.

This is not a traditional call centre position. It is a commercially focused customer service and order management role where you will take responsibility for quotations, sales orders, stock enquiries, delivery updates and customer issues from initial enquiry through to fulfilment.

Working within an established UK and EMEA customer service team, you will build trusted relationships with customers, account managers and colleagues across production, warehousing, despatch and the wider international business.

The position combines order management, customer service, sales support and internal coordination. Success will depend on accuracy, ownership, communication and the ability to remain calm and solutions-focused when priorities change.

Take ownership of customer issues and ensure they are progressed efficiently through to resolution
Maintain accurate customer and sales activity records using CRM, ERP and internal business systems
Support account managers throughout the specification, quotation and order process
Build strong and professional relationships with internal and external customers
Coordinate product samples through to despatch and follow up where required
Work to agreed service levels, response times and quality standards
Act as an internal voice of the customer and communicate relevant feedback across the business
Identify practical opportunities to improve processes, service quality and the wider customer experience

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required

To be considered, candidates should be based within a realistic commuting distance of Birmingham and be comfortable working from the office during the probationary period.

Essential experience and attributes include:

Ideally 3 years’ relevant experience within B2B order management, customer service, sales support, business administration, account support or a related position
Strong hands-on experience managing customer orders from initial enquiry through to delivery or fulfilment
Experience raising and processing quotations and sales orders
A clear understanding of order management, customer communication and internal coordination
Experience working within an office-based customer service or commercial support environment
Confident and professional written and verbal communication skills
Ability to manage multiple orders, enquiries and priorities without compromising accuracy

Experience using an ERP, CRM or order management system
Commercial awareness and the confidence to hold detailed customer conversations
Ability to remain calm, positive and solutions-focused when working under pressure
A tenacious approach with the ability to take ownership from beginning to completion
Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications

Experience using JD Edwards, Salesforce, Oracle or a comparable business system would be advantageous, although full systems training will be provided.

Previous experience within commercial interiors, flooring, furniture, building products, manufacturing, distribution, logistics or another construction-related, product-led B2B environment would be beneficial but is not essential.

The Person

This role will suit someone who is commercially aware, brings a growth mindset and takes genuine pride in delivering an excellent customer experience. You will enjoy being accountable for customer requirements from initial enquiry through to successful completion.

You will be organised, methodical and attentive to detail, with the communication skills and confidence required to build effective relationships with customers, account managers and colleagues across different departments and countries.

You will be comfortable working within established processes while also demonstrating initiative and a proactive approach when dealing with customer enquiries, delivery challenges and changing priorities.

The successful candidate will bring a positive, hardworking and resilient attitude. You will be open to learning, comfortable receiving feedback and motivated to become a trusted and valued member of the wider team.

Integrate positively into the UK and wider EMEA customer service team
Develop a strong understanding of the company’s products, customers, systems and order processes
Build effective relationships with customers, account managers and internal stakeholders
Demonstrate accuracy, ownership and clear communication across customer enquiries and orders
Show the attitude, focus and commitment required to deliver consistently high standards of service
