About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized and proactive Sales Assistant to support a fast-moving sales team across CRM management, scheduling, follow-ups, proposals, reporting, and day-to-day sales operations.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Work closely with:

Track internal handoffs, responsibilities, and next steps.

Help prevent delays by ensuring teams have the information and documentation required to keep deals moving.

You:

• Are highly organized and detail-oriented
• Naturally follow up and close operational loops
