Role Overview

JDI Distributions Ltd is a UK-based international trading and e-commerce business

specialising in the distribution of regulated vape and nicotine products and associated

accessories. The company operates across B2B wholesale supply to international clients and

distributor partners, as well as B2C sales channels, with trading activity across multiple

overseas markets.

As part of its ongoing growth, the business is expanding its international sales operations and

distributor relationships, including within Mandarin-speaking markets. While the company

works with overseas manufacturing partners as part of its supply chain, this role is not a

procurement or sourcing position. Instead, it supports sales execution, client communication,

and order-related coordination within an international trading environment.

The Business Sales Executive is a sales-focused, execution-level role, operating under

management direction. The position supports B2B sales activities, international distribution

processes, and Mandarin-language commercial communication as part of the company’s

international sales operations.

Key Responsibilities

 Support B2B sales execution across wholesale and online channels, including

responding to international client enquiries, preparing quotations and pricing

information, and maintaining accurate sales and customer records

 Support the development and maintenance of professional relationships with

international wholesale clients and distributor partners, including those operating

within Mandarin-speaking markets

 Assist with sales order coordination from initial enquiry through to fulfilment,

ensuring accurate communication with clients and internal stakeholders

 Provide Mandarin-language support for routine commercial communication related to

sales execution, including clarification of product information, pricing, and order

requirements with overseas business partners

 Support international distribution activities by assisting with coordination of delivery

timelines, logistics-related information, and order tracking for cross-border sales

 Support the day-to-day operation of the company’s e-commerce platform (Evelyn

Vapes), including product catalogue maintenance and preparation of basic sales and

performance reports to support management review

 Provide ad-hoc sales-related and operational support reasonably required to

support the company’s international sales activities, where such tasks are

incidental to the core sales function and aligned with business needs

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong communication skills, organisational

ability, and commercial awareness, with the capability to support international sales processes

in a structured business environment.

Key attributes include:

 Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Additional language skills

(such as Mandarin) are an advantage.

 Knowledge of, or familiarity with, Chinese consumer markets, business culture, and

international commercial practices

 Basic commercial awareness and an interest in international sales and market

development

 Ability to support sales processes from initial client engagement through to order

execution

 Ability to assist with information coordination across sales, customer, and operational

functions

 Good organisational and time management skills, with strong attention to detail

 Comfortable working independently while following management direction

 Willingness to undertake occasional international travel, including travel to China

(e.g. Shenzhen and Dongguan), to support sales meetings, client engagement, and

relationship coordination activities

 Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and CRM software

•  Bachelor’s degree or above (or equivalent relevant experience)
