JOB SUMMARY

Epiq Solutions is seeking a highly responsive, detail-oriented, and customer-focused Sales Support Representative to provide day-to-day operational support to our sales organization and help deliver an exceptional experience to both internal and external customers.

A primary focus of this role is supporting the sales team through the timely and accurate preparation of customer quotes, effective follow-through, and proactive coordination across the organization. The Sales Support Representative serves as an important connection between Sales, customers, Operations, Finance, and other internal teams, helping ensure requests are handled accurately, issues are resolved efficiently, and commitments are clearly communicated.

Success in this position requires exceptional attention to detail and responsiveness, strong written and verbal communication skills, and a genuine service mindset. The ideal candidate is articulate, organized, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of requests from initial inquiry through resolution. This individual should be a natural problem-solver who anticipates needs, asks questions when information is incomplete, and enjoys being part of a collaborative team.

• Proactively communicate matters such as changes in lead times, late deliveries, customer requests, order questions, or other issues affecting customer commitments.
• Investigate issues, gather the appropriate information, identify potential solutions, and help drive matters to resolution.
• Partner with Sales and Operations to identify opportunities to improve quoting, customer service, sales support, and internal processes.
