• Digital & IT Collaboration: Act as a key user for the ERP system and manage technical requests/improvements through Jira ticketing. Liaise with IT to ensure tools are optimized for business needs.
• Account Receivable (AR) Support: Oversee basic AR functions, including payment follow-ups, resolving billing discrepancies, and ensuring financial data accuracy within the customer module.
• Logistics & Export: Coordinate shipments and handle complex customs requirements (VAT, duties, Carnet ATA).

• Financial Awareness: Solid notions of Account Receivable (AR) and general accounting principles related to sales.
Soft Skills:
• Proactive Mindset: A person who takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions.
