Job Summary

Reporting to senior management, the Database Administrator will be responsible for

planning, building, configuring and supporting the database systems that power our import- export operations. The role ensures that our trading, inventory, CRM and finance databases run with strong integrity, reliable performance, robust security and dependable backup and recovery — in line with both internal business requirements and the demands of cross-border data exchange with our overseas partners.

This is a hands-on technical role with strong cross-functional exposure. The successful

candidate will work closely with business teams, external IT vendors and overseas branches

to translate commercial requirements into well-designed, well-governed data systems.

Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:

• Plan, build, configure and provide ongoing support for the company's database

management systems, ensuring they meet operational requirements across trading,

inventory, CRM and finance functions.

• Develop and maintain the underlying database architecture, including data

structures, tables, data dictionaries and naming conventions, so that master data

covering products, customers, suppliers and transactions remains accurate and

complete.

• Establish and operate routine backup, archival and disaster-recovery procedures,

and enforce security and data-integrity controls to protect commercially sensitive

trading data.

• Define and roll out database documentation, operating guidelines, standards and procedures, and ensure they are consistently followed across internal teams and

external partners.

• Carry out testing of new database systems and upgrades — including debugging,

issue reproduction, logging, tracking and resolution — in accordance with approved

quality-assurance scripts and processes.

• Monitor and tune database performance and capacity on an ongoing basis, identify

bottlenecks, and plan for future expansion as transaction volumes and overseas

business grow.

• Design, coordinate and implement security measures — including access controls,

encryption and audit trails — to safeguard the database environment from internal

and external risks.

• Liaise with business stakeholders, overseas branches and external software vendors

to translate business needs into database requirements, and support the integration

of databases with trading, ERP and reporting platforms.

• Prepare management reports, dashboards and ad-hoc data extracts to support

commercial decision-making in pricing, sourcing, inventory and customer

management.
