Greek Language & Product Knowledge

Greek language skills would be a strong advantage, although they are not essential.

Speaking Greek can be particularly helpful in this role as it provides a better understanding of Greek products, product names, labels, ingredients and specifications, as well as making communication with Greek suppliers easier.

Previous knowledge or familiarity with Greek and Mediterranean food products would therefore be considered a valuable advantage, especially when assisting customers with product enquiries and orders.

The Person We Are Looking For

We are looking for a trustworthy, organised and proactive individual who can become a key member of the Greek Bazaar team.

The successful candidate should be confident with numbers, comfortable communicating directly with customers and suppliers, and capable of taking ownership of the company’s day-to-day finance, payroll and customer administration.
