Procurement and Sales Support Spe - Hybrid in Medellín

Procurement & Sales Support Specialist: Hybrid in Medellín

Nassau Cable has been distributing industrial and commercial wire and cable for over 60 years. We’re growing, and we’re looking for a sharp, driven person to be the right hand of our Sales Lead.

Why you’ll like working here

• Real ownership, real impact. You work directly with the Sales Lead and see your quotes turn into closed deals.
• Earn more than your base. Commission can start from month 1 (based on solid performance metrics), plus mid-year and year-end bonuses when targets are met. Your earnings grow with your results.
• Relaxed, no-BPO culture. We’re not a call center. No tracking apps, no log-in/log-out, no micromanagement. We care about results, not screen time.
• Great people. Open communication, real teamwork, and colleagues who help when you need it. Everyone is one message away.
• We actually do things together. Team outings to soccer, volleyball, and padel, bowling, a spa day, breakfast or lunch brought to the office, and a big year-end celebration.
• Hybrid. Only two days a week at our office on Avenida El Poblado (Tuesdays and Wednesdays).
• Breaks built in. 1-hour lunch plus two breaks every day.
• US holidays off and paid. Colombian holidays are working days, sometimes from home.

About the role

You’ll prepare accurate quotes, negotiate with vendors, and keep every open opportunity moving. It’s fast-paced and high-ownership, perfect if you’re proactive, persistent, and not afraid of a “no.”

Quoting & negotiation

• Review customer inquiries and determine the right products and pricing
• Prepare and submit accurate quotes on time, adjusting as needed
• Run cost analysis and negotiate pricing, lead times, and special requests with vendors
• Keep clear records of all quotations and activity

Vendor chasing

• Send RFQs and follow up on prices, lead times, and special requests
• Build strong vendor relationships
• Coordinate with sales and shipping as needed

Quote follow-up

• Contact every open quote on a fixed rhythm
• Flag quotes ready to close and hand them to the Sales Lead
• Answer customer questions

Customer management

• Handle lower-tier customers (e.g., government bidders) from inquiry to quote
• Follow up on contacts and leads assigned by the Sales Lead

Support to the Sales Lead

• Execute follow-ups and ad hoc tasks
• Share feedback on customer needs, pricing, and market trends
• Soon: research and build targeted customer lists for Australia, New Zealand, Guyana-Suriname, and LATAM

What we’re looking for

• Experience in quoting, purchasing, procurement, sales support, or supply chain
• Strong analytical and numerical skills; knowledge of pricing and cost analysis
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Proactive, detail-oriented, with a strong sense of urgency
• Persistent and thick-skinned: comfortable chasing vendors and clients repeatedly
• Able to work independently, reporting to a single manager
• Comfortable with changing priorities
• Familiarity with financial and project management principles
• Nice to have: lead research or prospecting experience; government or public bidding experience

Schedule & compensation

• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8AM to 6PM New York time (1-hour lunch + two breaks). We sell 100% online, so this is our customer service window.
• Location: Hybrid, Medellín. Tuesdays and Wednesdays at our office on Avenida El Poblado
• Base salary: USD $1,000/month
• Commission from month 1 (performance-based; we’ll walk you through how it works in the interview) + mid-year and year-end bonuses if targets are met
• Contract: Prestación de servicios (independent contractor), not negotiable
• Health insurance, pension, cesantías, and primas are not covered. After the 6-month trial period you receive a USD $80/month bonus to help with your health and pension contributions
• Vacation: after the 6-month trial, 9 paid days per year, +1.5 days each year
• Holidays: US holidays are off and paid. Colombian holidays are working days, sometimes from home

To apply: send us your English resume. If you like chasing, negotiating, and closing, you’ll fit right in.
