Sales Executive

FCV Tobacco Limited · Islamabad, Pakistan

FCV Tobacco sells Pakistan-origin Flue-Cured Virginia leaf by the container to licensed manufacturers, processors, importers and leaf dealers. Nobody buys it from a shelf: every deal starts with a buyer asking which stalk position, which processing form and how many tonnes, and ends with a proforma invoice, advance payment and an FOB shipment. The Sales Executive carries a buyer through that whole path.

You answer enquiries that arrive by email, WhatsApp, phone and the website's request-a-quote form, pin down the grade (primings, lugs, cutters, leaf or tips), the form (whole leaf, hand-stemmed, machine-stemmed or threshed strips) and the volume, and turn that into a clear FOB quotation. First-time importers need the minimum order of one 20 MT container, C48 carton or jute-bag packing, sampling and the shipment steps explained plainly, and they need to be told early that the company sells to verified commercial buyers only.

Salary: PKR 50,000 – 60,000 per month. Negotiable according to experience and skills. Bonuses apply in this role and are explained at interview.

Responsibilities

• Qualify every incoming enquiry: grade, stalk position, processing form, quantity, destination port and whether the buyer holds the licences needed to import tobacco
• Prepare FOB quotations and proforma invoices and explain what each line covers
• Arrange representative samples and the laboratory results for shortlisted grades, and chase the buyer's feedback
• Walk first-time importers through packaging, the 20 MT container minimum, advance payment and pre-shipment inspection
• Log each conversation and next step in the CRM and follow up on every open quotation until it is accepted, declined or parked

Requirements

• Fluent spoken and written English; most buyers are outside Pakistan and negotiate in writing
• Comfort handling numbers: tonnage, price per kilo, container loads and payment terms
• Willingness to learn tobacco vocabulary (stalk positions, colour classes, strips versus whole leaf) well enough to answer a buyer without guessing
• Discipline to follow the company's buyer verification and sanctions screening rather than rushing a deal
• On site in E-11, Islamabad, Pakistan, 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM; working days confirmed at interview

Preferred

• Export or B2B commodity sales experience, in tobacco or any other bulk agricultural product
• Familiarity with FOB terms, proforma invoices or letters of credit
• Experience selling by WhatsApp and email to buyers in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia or Latin America
