Octavia Grozea
@octaviagrozea
Inside Sales Specialist focused on compliant contracts, customer support, and contract negotiation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Inside Sales Specialist, currently the main point of contact for North Germany + Scandinavia industrial filtration offers. I ensure end-to-end compliance across the offer-order-delivery flow by applying European bidding legislation, verifying client legality, and establishing/updating contract terms and conditions.
I manage contract updates with new conditions, maintain price lists and discounts, and prepare all documents needed for special negotiations and required approvals. I also support the full collection process by reporting unpaid invoices and maintaining a reminder flow, while promptly notifying customers to protect trustful relationships and prevent frauds or scams.
Previously, I worked in operations/customer relations, complaints, HR internal support, and logistics coordination—often coordinating cross-department communication, production planning, and customer issue resolution. Alongside this, my postuniversitary legal education and ongoing training strengthen how I handle legal/contract-related documentation, trainings, and process improvements to keep internal procedures up to date.
