Careers

Thanks to our passion for music, live sound and for the Audio Video Industry, VDC Trading has become one of the market leaders in supplying and supporting the Professional Audio, Video, Broadcast and Touring industries with cables, connectors and related ancillary products including bespoke and turnkey cabling solutions.

VDC has built a reputation for the best quality of AV cabling solutions through its Van Damme brand which is increasingly specified in major AV projects around the world.

To help us implement our growth strategy, VDC Trading is now looking to recruit 2 new Customer Relations Executives to deal with an increasing volume of UK orders, quotations and enquiries to provide the most professional, helpful and knowledgeable customer service that our customers recognise as one of the best in our industry.
 
VDC Trading offers great career opportunities to move into more pro-active sales and account management roles in line with our growth plan.
 
The Customer Relations Executive will follow an induction and training programme as well as shadowing the existing team before interacting directly with customers. The role reports to the Global Commercial Manager.
 
Having knowledge of the live sound, recording, performing or production industries is an advantage or at least having a strong desire to learn in a somewhat quite technical product range.
 
What you will be doing:

• Dealing with in-bound calls and emails from VDC UK Customers and provide a highly professional level of customer service.
• Processing quotations and orders from existing and new UK accounts.
• Creating job specs for the manufacturing department based on the solution created for the customers.
• This is an office-based role so the Customer Relations Executive is expected to work from the North London office.
• Tackling customers’ issues and requests until fully resolved in the most professional manner.
• Recording all relevant interactions with customers following VDC’s internal CRM process and Sage order management systems.
• Providing excellent customer support via telephone and email
• You will need to be a team player as the Customer Relations Executive will be working within the CRE team and close to the sales team.
• Providing assistance to the pro-active sales team as and when required.
• Providing the Commercial Manager with regular activity reports.

What we offer:

• A competitive basic salary depending on experience
• 20 days Holiday + Bank Holiday plus loyalty days after 2 years
• Opportunities to move to other roles part of a professional development plan
• Easy to commute to the location from King’s Cross or Caledonian Road stations
• A friendly and young atmosphere where people love music. After all, we deal with some of the best- known bands.
• Internal training opportunities and career progression
