WE’RE HIRING: EXPORT SALES EXECUTIVE

Company: Queen Fresh Produce

Location: Cairo, Egypt

Industry: Fresh Produce | Agriculture | Export

Queen Fresh Produce is looking for an experienced and commercially driven Export Sales Executive to join our team in Cairo.

We are an Egyptian grower, packer and exporter of fresh fruit and vegetables, supplying customers across international markets, with a strong focus on the UK and Europe.

We are looking for someone who understands that fresh produce sales is about much more than simply taking orders. It is about understanding the customer, product, season and market, while building strong relationships that turn into long-term business.

The Role

As an Export Sales Executive, you will be responsible for managing and developing existing international accounts while actively identifying and converting new business opportunities.

You will work closely with our Supply Chain, Operations, Production and Quality teams to ensure customer requirements are understood and orders are delivered according to the agreed specifications, programs and timelines.

This is a hands-on commercial role for someone who enjoys developing relationships, negotiating, solving problems and working in the fast-moving environment of international fresh produce.

Key Responsibilities

* Manage and develop relationships with existing international customers.* Identify, approach and develop new customers and export opportunities, particularly across the UK and European markets.* Generate new leads through market research, networking, referrals and direct customer contact.* Understand each customer’s requirements, programs, specifications, volumes and seasonal needs.* Prepare quotations and negotiate prices, volumes and commercial terms with customers.* Convert enquiries and opportunities into confirmed orders and long-term customer relationships.* Monitor fresh produce market conditions, availability, pricing and customer demand.* Communicate relevant market and seasonal updates to customers.* Coordinate closely with Supply Chain and Operations from order confirmation through to shipment and delivery.* Work with the Quality team to ensure products meet customer specifications and expectations.* Follow up with customers after deliveries and professionally manage any commercial, service or quality-related issues.* Maintain accurate records of customer activity, quotations, pricing, programs and sales opportunities.* Gather customer forecasts and expected volumes to support seasonal planning.* Identify opportunities to introduce additional Queen Fresh Produce products to existing customers.* Attend customer meetings, exhibitions and industry events when required.* Build long-term international customer relationships based on reliability, communication and trust.

Qualifications & Experience

* Bachelor’s degree in Business, Agriculture, International Trade, Marketing or a related field.* Minimum 5 years of professional experience in a sales role.* Minimum 2 years of experience in export sales or international trade.* Previous experience in fresh produce, agriculture, food trading or FMCG is strongly preferred.* Experience dealing directly with international customers is highly desirable.* Good understanding of export processes and international business practices.* Strong written and spoken English.* Confident communicating with international customers through email, telephone, video calls and face-to-face meetings.* Strong commercial awareness with proven negotiation and closing skills.* Ability to build and maintain strong professional relationships.* Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.* Highly organized and capable of managing multiple customers, quotations and orders simultaneously.* Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where availability, pricing, volumes and customer requirements can change quickly.* Proactive, commercially driven and willing to develop strong knowledge of fresh produce varieties, specifications, seasons and international markets.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their accounts and opportunities.

Someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, developing new relationships and following an opportunity from the first conversation through to the first order — and then continuing to grow that customer.

Fresh produce experience will be considered a strong advantage, but equally important is having a strong sales mentality, commercial awareness and the ability to build lasting relationships with international customers.

Why Queen Fresh Produce?

At Queen Fresh Produce, you will gain direct exposure to the complete journey of Egyptian fresh produce — from growing and packing through to exporting and supplying international customers.

You will work closely with different areas of the business, develop your understanding of international fresh produce trading and have the opportunity to take increasing commercial responsibility as you grow within the company.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career in fresh produce exports, develop a strong international customer portfolio and become an important part of Queen Fresh Produce’s continued growth.
