Sales Assistant (M/F)

Do you have initial experience in technical distribution and know how to juggle administrative rigor and customer reactivity? That's perfect, I am recruiting a new Sales Assistant in CDI for a leading player in the distribution of electrical components for aeronautics, defense, and space. I am Ilan Conan, a recruitment consultant specializing in supply chain professions, and I have a position to offer you.

The company: With an international presence, this specialized distributor offers thousands of high-tech electrical component references for demanding markets (aeronautics/space ...). The company operates in a context of sustained growth, driven by the ramp-up of European aeronautical programs and the rise of defense markets. You will join a human-sized organization, with structured processes and a culture oriented towards service and operational excellence. You will join the sales team after a short training period and contribute to the development of the client portfolio in collaboration with the Supply Chain team and technical experts. Your missions:

• Manage orders from A to Z: registration in the ERP, verification of order/contract adequacy, sending and following up on customer acknowledgments of receipt.
• Manage operational customer relations: handling complaints, following up on disputes, proactive communication on lead times and availability.
• Maintain the customer base: creation and validation of accounts, ensuring data reliability in the ERP.
• Act as the interface with the Supply Chain and sales teams to smooth flows and anticipate supply tensions.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of ADV processes by identifying friction points and reporting optimization areas.

What the company offers you:

• Gross remuneration between €24k and €28k fixed annual gross depending on profile and experience.
• Quarterly performance bonus.
• Attractive profit-sharing scheme.
• 1 day of teleworking/week
• Restaurant vouchers
• 100% employer-paid health insurance and contingency plan.
• Gym and yoga classes.
• Regular social events.

Who are you?:

• You have a Bac+2 degree in commerce or management (BTS, DUT or equivalent), with at least 2 years of experience in ADV or order management, ideally in the distribution of technical or industrial products.
• You stand out through your mastery of English, both written and spoken: you manage international customer and supplier exchanges on a daily basis.
• You are comfortable with ERP (SAP, Sage X3 or equivalent); qualifying an order, detecting an inconsistency, and ensuring data reliability is part of your daily routine.
• You are recognized for your ability to prioritize under pressure: in aeronautical and defense markets, deadlines are not suggestions - you know how to manage multiple flows simultaneously without losing quality.
• You possess a natural coordination spirit: you are the point of contact between sales, the Supply Chain, and the customer - your communication clarity is as much an asset as your rigor.
