Sales Administration Supervisor
Pineapple Recruitment has been exclusively appointed by an established, high-performing company in Hereford to help them find a talented Sales Administration Supervisor.
As the business continues to grow, they are creating this brand-new position to act as the crucial link between sales, purchasing, and production. If you have a background in sales administration or customer service within a manufacturing environment and are looking for a genuine step up into leadership, this is an incredible spot to make your mark.
You won't just be managing orders; you'll be leading a supportive team, shaping workflow efficiencies, and ensuring customers get a top-tier experience from quote to delivery.
Key Responsibilities

- Sales & Order Coordination: Prepare accurate customer quotations, proactively follow up on enquiries, and oversee end-to-end sales order processing.
- Supply Chain & Purchasing: Manage the purchasing of core materials and sub-contracted services, keeping a close eye on supplier performance and lead times.
- Operations Link: Liaise closely with internal production teams to monitor order progress, balance production schedules, and troubleshoot potential lead-time delays.
- Stock & ERP Systems: Maintain system data integrity using business ERP software, tracking inventory levels and monitoring consumption of key components.
- Reporting & KPIs: Track departmental performance metrics, lead regular progress reviews, and use data insights to keep improving team workflows.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
