- Handle client inquiries, comments, and complaints with diplomacy and efficiency, ensuring swift resolution and high satisfaction
- Understand and apply each customer's unique inspection procedures, quality standards, and administrative requirements

- Partner closely with the accounting department to ensure complete and accurate invoicing information and monitor payment status
- Coordinate with the technical department on claim analysis, providing necessary samples and documentation for quality investigations
- Deliver regular performance reports and operational updates to the Branch Manager
- Support overall operations management and collaborate with other operational teams as needed

Required Profile

- Minimum 10 years of hands-on experience as a merchandiser in the garment/textile industry with comprehensive understanding of the product lifecycle
