Job Description
The Sales Order Specialist (internally referred to as an Order Rep) is the technical “engine room” of the sales-to-production pipeline. This is a “pick-up and hand-off” role where you receive projects from the client rep or creative team, move them through critical stages, and pass a clean, complete file to production. You are responsible for ensuring that nothing stalls, no details are missing, and every handoff is 100% accurate to maintain client trust and business profitability.

Job Responsibilities

● Coordinate with the team on product selections for client presentations. - Approval & Supplier Oversight:
● Own the approval loop between the client, rep, and creative team; follow up on pending approvals before the deadline, not after.
● Raise and send correctly formatted Purchase Orders (POs) to local suppliers with all delivery and branding specs.
● Confirm supplier receipt, lead times, and production updates, flagging any timeline issues immediately. - System Integrity & Production Handoff:
● Manage 8–12 active projects simultaneously, ensuring every update lives in CommonSku and HubSpot.
