Vendor & Dispatch Coordinator

The Vendor & Dispatch Coordinator serves as the primary point of contact for all subcontractor communications, ensuring prompt scheduling, competitive pricing, timely arrivals, and reliable completion of all daily dispatches. A successful candidate will thrive in a collaborative team environment, build strong relationships with subcontractors, clients, and coworkers, and demonstrate precision and consistency in data entry to support seamless operations and exceptional client service. This role requires strong organizational and communication skills, the ability to manage multiple requests across various time zones, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. While training will be provided on our dispatch platforms, success in this position depends on the ability to work accurately, independently, and with a strong sense of urgency.
