• Assign, guide, and review the daily work of all four coordinators; step in to close gaps in coverage or workload.
• Conduct regular check-ins to track individual and team performance against SOP objectives.
• Serve as the first point of escalation for the team before issues are raised to Facilities leadership.

Work Order & Dispatch Oversight

• Monitor open and overdue work orders and ensure timely closure with complete documentation.

Inventory & Cost Control Oversight

• Track cost-saving initiatives and ensure opportunities and achieved savings are reported.

Vendor Management Oversight

• Oversee vendor selection, onboarding, documentation (W-9, COI, licenses/certifications), and system setup.
• Monitor vendor performance - response time, quality, pricing, reliability, and compliance - and address escalations.
• Ensure the master vendor tracker is kept current and document expirations are proactively managed.

Timekeeping, Reporting & Communication

• Oversee timesheet accuracy and timely submission across the Facilities & Maintenance team.
• Consolidate daily and weekly reporting from all four functions into a single, leadership-ready report.
• Maintain clear, professional communication with U.S.-based Operations and Facilities leadership.
• Escalate safety, food-safety, major equipment failure, or business-interruption issues immediately.

Financial Control & Approvals

• Ensure all purchases, repairs, and vendor quotes follow the approved threshold structure (Facility Staff: $500 | RDOs: $1,500 | Director of Facilities: $3,000 | VPs/President: above $3,000 with Director alignment).
• Review and validate quotes and spend before escalating for higher-level approval where required.

Process Optimization

• Identify inefficiencies across the four SOP functions and recommend process improvements.
• Support the rollout of new tools and systems to strengthen inventory, dispatch, vendor, and reporting workflows.
• Standardize documentation and hand-off practices across coordinators.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in facilities, maintenance operations, or a related field, including at least 1-2 years in a team lead or supervisory capacity.
• Strong command of English (both written and verbal), with experience communicating with U.S.-based stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets; experience with work-order/CMMS or vendor management systems is a plus.
