About the Role

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Project Coordinator to manage and oversee customer orders as full-cycle projects from initiation through completion.

  • You can manage a high volume of moving projects without dropping details
  • You take ownership of your work and follow through until completion

  • You maintain strong communication and keep everyone aligned


Qualifications Required:
