* Communicate proactively with customers about backorders, product changes, and pricing discrepancies
* Provide administrative support to the local team (car fleet, IT equipment, supplier invoices, etc.)
* Handle service administration : log service calls, plan interventions, order spare parts, manage stock
* Keep procedures and process documentation up to date and well-structured
* Maintain good communication with the Central Office and internal departments
* Help organise meetings, workshops, and customer-facing events
* Participate in internal projects and act as liaison between teams

* Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a similar role, ideally in an international setting
* Fluent in English (written and spoken); additional languages are a plus
* Skilled in communicating clearly with end customers and internal stakeholders
* Familiar with Microsoft Office and ERP systems (experience with Oracle Cloud is a plus)
* Capable of prioritising, multitasking and working with accuracy under time pressure
* Detail-oriented, structured and solution-focused

By joining Sakura, you step into a mission-driven organisation where your contribution has real-world impact. We’re a stable, steadily growing company with a strong European presence and an open, respectful culture.
At our Italy office, we combine the benefits of hybrid working with regular office days to stay connected and collaborate efficiently. You’ll be part of a knowledgeable, supportive team where everyone’s input matters — and where quality and people come first.
