Support Account Managers with internal order status queries and coordination activity, ensuring a smooth and well-documented handover of orders from quotation through to fulfilment

Maintain accurate, auditable records of all order activity, including amendments, cancellations, delivery confirmations, and customer correspondence related to order administration
Produce regular order status and administrative reports for the Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain teams, highlighting any open issues, overdue actions, or at-risk orders
Liaise proactively with internal departments including Production, Planning, Quality, and Supply Chain to chase order updates, resolve administrative queries, and ensure customers receive accurate delivery information
Support the Account Management team during peak periods with quotation administration, customer communications, and general commercial support tasks as directed
Comply with all Company Health and Safety procedures and contribute to maintaining a safe, organised, and compliant working environment
