• Assist with order processing when required by the sales team

The role is based at our Oxford office, Kemp House, Chawley Park, Cumnor Hill, Oxford OX2 9PH, on a hybrid-working pattern of 2 days office based / 3 days home based (or fully office based if preferred). Allocated office days for this role are Wednesday and Thursday.

We’d love it if you had…

We’re looking for a confident and articulate communicator that is able to build relationships with colleagues and customers.
