What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced role where I can own day-to-day administration, strengthen supplier and client relationships, and streamline processes—using tools like Excel, Syspro ERP, and Worksmart to deliver accurate, timely results.

I’m a driven BA Communications graduate with hands-on experience across sales administration, procurement, and communications-focused roles. In my current position as an Eureka Sales Administrative Clerk, I support a team of 5 sales representatives with order processing, pricing queries, and order status tracking—while managing client queries to ensure efficient, friendly service.

Previously, as a Formax Purchasing Clerk, I was the primary liaison between suppliers and the internal sales department for pricing, delivery, and queries. I managed stock procurement via Syspro ERP (monitoring levels, placing orders, planning supplier collections) and ensured timely delivery through proactive stock planning, while also attending supplier meetings to negotiate competitive pricing.
