We are seeking a proactive and resourceful Operations Coordinator who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where urgency and accuracy are critical. This role supports the flow of goods in a global supply chain by coordinating shipments, managing communication across departments, and contributing to product sourcing and logistics strategy. Unlike traditional logistics roles, this position requires someone who sees the big picture—someone who understands how timing, quality, and vendor coordination directly impact business performance.
This is a high-visibility role ideal for individuals with a background in sourcing, supply chain operations, or product coordination—especially those accustomed to time-sensitive industries like food & beverage or agriculture. The ideal candidate is a natural problem-solver, not afraid to pick up the phone, and capable of adapting to shifting circumstances quickly and effectively.

- Collaborate with purchasing to support supplier negotiations and evaluate sourcing alternatives.
Cross-Functional Communication
- Serve as the key liaison between operations, sales, procurement, and customer service.

Forecasting & Risk Awareness
- Support forecasting and inventory planning activities in collaboration with procurement and sales.
- Monitor global trade trends, seasonal impacts, and supply risks, offering recommendations when issues arise.
Technical Product Understanding
- Develop and maintain a working knowledge of product specifications and handling requirements.
- Work closely with technical and quality assurance teams to ensure products meet internal standards.
Prerequisites

What the Role Offers
- Salary range of $60,000 to $80,000, depending on experience
