Company / Client Overview

On behalf of our client, a well-established and growing company operating in the franchising, business development, and business services sector, we are seeking to recruit a dynamic and highly organized Franchise Sales & Marketing Coordinator to join their team in Chalandri, Athens.

The company works closely with prospective franchisees and established franchisors, supporting franchise development, commercial activities, lead generation, brand visibility, and promotional initiatives.

This is an excellent opportunity for a professional who enjoys communicating with people, has a commercial mindset, and at the same time possesses the organizational discipline required to manage multiple leads, follow-ups, deadlines, documents, and ongoing activities.

The successful candidate will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

Role Overview

The position supports the company's Franchise Sales & Marketing activities, with three primary areas of responsibility:

• Initial communication and screening of prospective franchisees
• Daily management of CRM activity, follow-ups, sales processes, and franchise-related documentation
• Communication and coordination with franchisors regarding advertising and promotional programs

The role is neither purely administrative nor a traditional aggressive sales position.

The ideal candidate will combine strong communication skills, commercial awareness, excellent organization, and consistent follow-up.

The position offers the opportunity to build strong expertise in franchise sales, client communication, account coordination, business development, and commercial operations, while taking on greater responsibility as experience and performance develop.

Key Responsibilities

Prospective Franchisee Communication

• Prepare simple weekly and monthly activity reports
• Support the team with meeting preparation and commercial proposals
• Coordinate the administrative monitoring of franchise agreements, signatures, deadlines, and required supporting documentation
• Maintain accurate and well-organized records

The role carries organizational responsibility for monitoring the contract process and does not include legal responsibility for franchise agreements.

Franchisor Communication

• Communicate with existing and prospective franchisor partners
• Present available advertising and communication programs
• Promote visibility and promotional opportunities through the company's franchise-related media channels
• Identify and record the individual needs of franchisors
• Follow up regarding the acceptance, implementation, or renewal of promotional programs

Marketing Support

• Participate in internal campaign-planning meetings
• Collaborate with the marketing team on activities designed to attract prospective franchisees
• Share relevant market insights and feedback generated through communication with franchisees and franchisors
• Monitor campaign performance and the quality of incoming leads
• Support the coordination of sales and marketing initiatives

The position will support marketing activities but will not have sole responsibility for the design or implementation of the company's marketing strategy.

Annual Franchise Exhibition

The company participates in one franchise exhibition per year.

The successful candidate will:

• Assist with the preparation and organization of the company's participation
• Coordinate materials and scheduled meetings
• Attend the exhibition
• Record new leads and business contacts
• Organize and manage post-event follow-up

The exhibition takes place over a weekend, and attendance is required.

This represents one specific annual commitment and not regular weekend work.

Requirements

• Previous experience in Sales Support, Inside Sales, Business Development, Account Management, B2B Sales, Marketing Coordination, Advertising Sales, Real Estate, or a related commercial role will be considered an advantage
• Previous experience working with leads, client enquiries, or prospective customers
• Very good knowledge of CRM systems, or demonstrated ability to quickly learn and consistently use a CRM

• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple contacts, priorities, deadlines, and outstanding actions simultaneously
• Confidence and professionalism in telephone communication

• Very good knowledge of Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace
• Ability to prepare professional emails and concise business reports

• Ability to organize and monitor files, contracts, documentation, signatures, and deadlines
• Professional attitude and ability to handle confidential information responsibly
• Genuine interest in sales, marketing, franchising, and business development
• Strong willingness to learn and develop professionally

Previous experience within the franchising sector is an advantage but is not required.

Candidates from the real estate sector may be particularly relevant due to their potential experience in lead management, CRM systems, client screening, systematic follow-up, contract coordination, and managing multiple commercial relationships simultaneously.

The company is particularly interested in professionals who demonstrate reasonable career stability and are now looking for a long-term opportunity with development prospects.

The ideal candidate will combine communication energy with organizational discipline.
