Jobs in Barkham

The role
Be the person who keeps our sales desk running. Our LA Direct Solutions team supplies servers and IT hardware to brokers, resellers and traders across the UK, Ireland and beyond, and we need an experienced sales support professional to make sure every quote, order, shipment and invoice is right first time.
This is a senior role with real ownership. You'll check the sales team's warranty orders, cover colleagues when they're away and support our Head of Sales and Purchasing day to day – and with our training, you'll build up to owning server orders without a second check.
