About Overseas Distribution Company NV
Overseas Distribution Company NV is a leading distributor in duty-free travel retail, supplying retail outlets across airports, inflight services, border shops, diplomatic suppliers, ship chandlers, and military organisations in more than 50 countries. Their Dubai trading hub plays a central role in their MENA and Asia-Pacific distribution operations.
Role Description
Overseas is seeking a detail-oriented Sales Administrator to be the administrative backbone of their Dubai sales team. This is a specialist administrative role — not a stepping stone to a sales career, but an opportunity for someone who takes genuine pride in precision, structure, and supporting sales excellence from behind the scenes.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain accurate customer data including prices, orders, and contracts
- Process sales orders from receipt through to accurate invoicing
- Prepare product sheets, price lists, and tender documentation
- Support administrative preparation of annual customer meetings
- Monitor stock levels and delivery schedules, flagging slow-moving inventory
- Act as administrative Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for customer queries
- Maintain sales records, filing systems, and shared drives
- Produce recurring reports and data overviews for the Sales Manager
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in business administration, economics, or equivalent experience
- Genuine enthusiasm for administrative work and precision
- Fluency in English (written and verbal)
- Strong organisational skills and sharp attention to detail
- Proficiency in ERP, CRM, Excel, and document management tools
- Ability to manage multiple parallel requests calmly
What’s On Offer
- Stable role in a financially solid international organisation
- Clearly defined specialist scope with long-term career potential
- Flat hierarchies and an open, international team environment
- Interaction with global colleagues across the Dubai hub and Antwerp office
- Attractive compensation package

How to Increase Your Chances
- Admin specialist profile: Overseas explicitly does NOT want sales-aspiring candidates — present yourself as a career admin professional who excels at precision.
- ERP/CRM experience: Specific system knowledge (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics) demonstrates operational readiness.
- Trade/logistics background: Prior experience in duty-free, FMCG, or distribution environments is a strong differentiator.
- Error-free application: Given the role’s focus on accuracy, a single typo in your CV or cover letter will count against you.
- Cover letter matters: Overseas asks for applications — a tailored cover letter explaining why you value administrative excellence will stand out.
