Sales Operations Specialist-local

Xiaomi, a global player in smartphones and smart devices, is looking for a local Sales Operations Specialist to support the Istanbul region. This is a full-time, onsite role that sits at the heart of regional sales activity, with potential exposure across markets in Istanbul and Dubai. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys hands-on work in a tech-driven environment and is eager to grow toward leadership.

The position sits within Xiaomi’s sales operations team, offering a chance to influence how sales plans are turned into action on the ground. You’ll work closely with sales colleagues, distributors and partners to keep regional activities aligned with strategy, while gaining insight into how regional markets shape the company’s approach to volume, forecasting and reporting. If you’re drawn to smart devices, love gadgets, and want to build practical experience in regional sales, this could be a solid next step.

Overall, this role suits someone who likes a mix of administration, data, and relationship-building, and who wants a clear path toward more senior responsibilities as you prove your abilities in a high-tech, consumer-focused setting.

Keeping the regional sales engine humming

Your day-to-day centers on enabling sales teams across a defined region. You’ll coordinate activities so they stay in line with regional strategies, handle logistical and administrative tasks that keep processes moving, and translate regional data into actionable insights. In practice, that means looking at sales data to spot trends and opportunities, helping with forecasts and reporting, and supporting the creation and execution of regional sales plans.

Part of your work will be nurturing relationships with regional partners and distributors, ensuring that information flows smoothly and plans stay coordinated. You’ll have a front-row view of how different regional markets operate and how sales dynamics shift across them, which will deepen your understanding of the business and broaden your professional horizon.

What you’ll bring to the table

Here's what the team is looking for, expressed in fresh wording drawn from the role’s core requirements.

• A bachelor’s degree with fresh-graduate status
• A real appetite for technology, gadgets and smartphones
• An upbeat, proactive communicator who’s aiming to move into a management role
• Resilience under pressure and a self-starting mindset
• A willingness to learn, take on challenges and adapt as things change
• Comfort using Chinese or English as a working language

Guidance for applicants in this role

Lead with your education and fresh-graduate status on your resume, and call out any experience that touches regional coordination, sales support, or data analysis, even if it came from a project or internship.

Show your passion for technology with concrete examples, perhaps a project, internship or extracurricular activity where you evaluated tech trends or supported sales efforts through data or process improvements. Be specific about what you did and what you learned.

Be prepared to discuss how you’d approach regional sales data analysis and forecasting in practice. Think of a time you adapted to a change or handled a challenge, and be ready to walk through the steps you took and the impact it had on a team or project.

Ask a targeted question at the end of your interview, such as how Xiaomi measures success with regional distributors in Istanbul and the broader region, and what tools or systems are used for forecasting and reporting. This shows you’re thinking about real-world impact and how you’d contribute to the team from day one.
