Sales Coordinator/Assistant position at Otani Trading
Who we are
Otani Trading is a family-owned business founded in 1922 and headquartered in Niigata, Japan. Operations include dealing in tools & machinery, engineering services, software development, foods & beverages, and cut flowers. Otani’s Singapore operation started in 2019 with the purpose of expanding Otani’s operations internationally. Our Singapore operation is the fastest-growing subsidiary within the Otani group even as we have been battling the negative effects of the global pandemic hindering international trade. In order to cater to increased demand in the Middle East region and beyond, an office was set up in Dubai Silicon Oasis in 2022.
What we do
At our Dubai office, we arrange wholesale cut flower shipments to/from over 25 countries in the form of triangular trade through our in-house developed B2B portal (www.flowermeister.com) that connects flower growers from around the world with flower importers around the world. Otani also provides various software and hardware solutions for flower farms, flower exporters, flower importers, flower shops, logistics companies, and other companies involved in the flower industry. We are in a unique position to be able to offer IT and other automation services to the flower industry as experts in both engineering and international flower trade.
Who we are looking for
The current openings are for Sales Coordinator and Sales Assistant positions.
Do not fear the word “sales” though. Sales at Otani do not involve regular cold-calling or cold visits. While we do occasionally get new leads through recommendations or inquiries through the internet, you will primarily be taking care of our existing customer’s needs, which encompasses the entire supply chain from purchasing, marketing, and customer service, to arranging logistics. Do not be alarmed by the scope; it is always a team effort. We assist each other to give our customers a great experience.
Although Otani is 100 years old, our Dubai operation is essentially a start-up. We are therefore looking for candidates who wish to create their own career paths while creating a new business, rather than follow a rigid job description with a constrained scope.
Experience in international trade or logistics is a plus, but not a requirement. Enthusiasm and an interest to create something new are far more important.
Nearly everybody at Otani’s flower division started without any kind of flower or trading background. There is no need for you to have any knowledge about flowers or a strong interest in flowers. Everything needed to perform your role can be learned on the job, and with any luck, you will also learn to love the international flower trade even if you can barely tell Carnations from Roses right now.
If you are looking to do something different with a wide range of responsibilities dealing with 25 countries around the world within a dynamic, global team, while leveraging the latest Web technologies and Fintech, this position might be for you. Unlike the image of flowers might suggest, flower trading is not just for ladies. Gents are very welcome too!
