Guidance for applicants
Lead your resume with examples that demonstrate your ability to generate new business and manage client relationships, especially any experience with technology solutions or services similar to a localisation or translation management system. If you have experience with outreach methods like cold calling or event networking, call those wins out front to show you can build a pipeline from the ground up.
When you describe your must-have capabilities, back each point with a concrete instance: how you communicated clearly in a cross-functional team, how you resolved a client issue, or how you navigated pricing or contract questions to reach a satisfactory outcome. Tie your stories to real results and dates to show progression.
For interviews, be ready to talk about how you’d learn a client’s industry, business needs and culture in order to surface new opportunities. You’ll be asked to share how you’d balance client service with closing deals, and you should have ideas for collaborating with the Production Management Team to deliver on commitments.
As a smart question to close, ask about how success is measured for a Sales Coordinator in this team, or what the typical travel schedule within ANZ looks like for client engagements and industry events.
