About MNJ Trading

MNJ Trading is an import and export company serving customers throughout the South Pacific region. Our customers operate primarily in the hospitality, industrial, and commercial sectors.

We help customers source suitable products, identify competitive suppliers, prepare quotations, coordinate orders, and arrange delivery to their destination.

About the Role

We are looking for a practical, organized, and detail-oriented Operations, Sourcing & Logistics Assistant.

This is not a role based only on writing emails or speaking confidently. You will be expected to research products, compare suppliers, check specifications, calculate shipping volumes, prepare accurate quotations, follow up on orders, and keep information properly organized.

Our selection process includes a practical work assessment based on the actual responsibilities of the role.

Main Responsibilities:
- Research products based on customer requirements.
- Find and compare suitable suppliers.
- Verify product specifications, pricing, availability, MOQ, lead time, warranty, and delivery conditions.
- Request missing information from suppliers.
- Prepare supplier comparison sheets.
- Calculate carton quantities, weights, dimensions, CBM, and estimated shipping costs.
- Prepare accurate customer quotations.
- Coordinate orders with suppliers, warehouses, freight forwarders, and customers.
- Monitor order and shipment progress.
- Maintain organized records, spreadsheets, invoices, packing lists, and shipping documents.
- Identify missing or conflicting information before it becomes a problem.
- Provide clear updates to management and customers.
- Manage several requests according to urgency and commercial importance.

What Good Performance Looks Like

A successful team member:
- Checks details instead of making unsupported assumptions.
- Understands the difference between the lowest price and the best commercial option.
- Can identify when a product does not fully meet the customer’s requirements.
- Uses spreadsheet formulas correctly.
- Keeps source links, calculations, and records easy to verify.
- Communicates delays and problems early.
- Follows instructions and meets deadlines.
- Takes ownership of tasks through completion.
- Asks specific questions when information is missing.
- Produces accurate work without requiring constant supervision.

Required Skills
- Strong online product and supplier research skills.
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
- Ability to compare prices and commercial terms.
- Confidence working with quantities, dimensions, weights, and CBM.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Clear written English.
- Ability to organize files and information.
- Good judgment when handling incomplete or conflicting information.
- Reliable internet connection and ability to work independently.

Experience in procurement, sourcing, logistics, import/export, hospitality supplies, industrial supplies, or quotation preparation is an advantage.

Application Process

The process consists of:
- Initial application review
- MNJ Trading Practical Work Assessment
- A short interview and live work verification
- Reference checks, if applicable.

Generic cover letters will not receive additional points. We are more interested in clear evidence of how you work.

How to Apply

Please submit:
- Brief Introduction why you're best fit for this role
- One redacted example of a supplier comparison, quotation, logistics spreadsheet, or similar document you personally prepared.

Your answers to the questions below.
1. Describe one product you previously sourced. What information did you verify before recommending a supplier?
2. Tell us about a mistake or discrepancy you found in an invoice, quotation, order, or shipping document. What did you do?
3. If a supplier provides a low price but does not confirm the required specifications, how would you handle it?

Please use the subject line:
