Receptionist Jobs - Umm Al Quwain UAE

The Sales Executive / Front Desk is the critical link between the Sales Manager and the rest of the organization once a lead has been converted into a confirmed order. This role owns the post-close handoff: translating the closed deal into an accurate internal order, coordinating with Production, Warehouse/Logistics, Quality, and Finance to ensure the customer commitment is fulfilled on time and as agreed, and keeping the customer and the Sales Manager informed throughout. The role also serves as the professional face of the office — managing the front desk, welcoming visitors and customers, and handling incoming calls and enquiries. The role exists to protect the professionalism and reliability of the customer relationship after the sale is won, and to ensure every visitor and caller experiences the same standard of care, from “deal closed” through to “order delivered and invoiced.”<br><br><strong>Order &amp;
