I need a detail-oriented assistant who can keep our Request-For-Quote (RFQ) process running smoothly while also feeding our sales pipeline with well-qualified leads. RFQ MANAGEMENT • Check the dedicated RFQ inbox throughout the workday, immediately logging every new request into our tracker. • Assign the correct internal reference number to each request, send a short but professional acknowledgement email, and flag any missing specs so the client receives a prompt clarification request. • Watch every submission deadline, reminding our engineering and sales colleagues in time for them to prepare quotations. • Keep the RFQ register tidy so past quotes, follow-ups and status labels are always one click away. LEAD GENERATION Alongside the RFQ flow, you will perform focused market and competitor research in the oil-and-gas, energy and wider industrial sectors. Your goals are to: • Identify procurement managers and technical buyers (no generic “info@” addresses). • Verify emails before they land in the workbook. • Record outreach status so the sheet stays clean and actionable. EXCEL & COMMUNICATION TASKS The role is highly Excel-centric: data entry, building and maintaining tracking sheets, plus the occasional quick report or pivot for management. You will also draft concise email correspondence. MANDATORY SKILLS – Exceptional written English – Process-driven mindset and comfort following established SOPs – Solid Microsoft Excel knowledge (formulas, filters, basic reporting) – Reliable internet connection and ability to work independently without hand-holding DELIVERABLES & ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 1. Daily-updated RFQ log with 100 % entry accuracy. 2. A weekly lead list of at least 25 verified contacts matched to target industries. 3. Zero missed RFQ deadlines; each outgoing quote traceable to its reference number. Candidate must be located in a time zone that overlaps with the UK/Europe.

I specialize in process-driven support where accuracy and speed directly affect revenue flow. For RFQ management, I log every request immediately, assign internal reference numbers without delay, monitor submission deadlines as active checkpoints, and keep a clean, searchable register so every quote and follow-up is traceable within seconds.
