About the Role

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

You’ll help ensure:

• CRM records are accurate and up to date
• Sales calls and follow-ups happen on time
• Proposals and presentations are polished and accurate

If you enjoy structure, coordination, and supporting high-performing teams, this role is a strong fit.

• Help maintain momentum throughout the sales process

Cross-Functional Coordination

• You notice missing information or overdue tasks before they become problems

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You might start your day by reviewing the CRM, updating pipeline records, and checking upcoming sales meetings and outstanding follow-ups.

Throughout the day, you’ll coordinate calendars, prepare proposals and presentations, send follow-up communications, update reports, and help sales representatives stay organized.
