As a Customer Operations Coordinator, you’ll support the day-to-day operations of a New York-based business, making sure sales orders, pricing, costs, and customer information are processed accurately and efficiently. You’ll start with a strong focus on back-end operational work, then take on more direct customer communication as you learn the business and demonstrate proficiency.
This is a role for someone who thinks rather than simply processes. When a number, price, margin, or order does not make sense, you’ll be expected to investigate it, double-check the information, and confidently raise questions before moving forward.
Responsibilities
- Enter and review sales orders accurately, ensuring customer, product, pricing, and order information is complete before processing.
- Validate customer pricing against price sheets, product costs, freight charges, warehouse costs, and other relevant information.
- Identify pricing, cost, margin, and order discrepancies before they create downstream operational or customer issues.
- Perform basic business calculations involving percentages, costs, margins, multiplication, and division to verify order accuracy.
- Investigate information that appears incorrect or inconsistent rather than processing it without question.
- Escalate discrepancies and proactively communicate with the appropriate team members to reach a resolution.
- Maintain a high level of accuracy while efficiently handling significant volumes of order and operational data.
- Support customer inquiries professionally through email as your knowledge of the business grows.
- Gradually handle occasional inbound and outbound customer calls once you are comfortable with the company’s products and processes.
- Learn the company’s logistics, order management, pricing, and operational workflows well enough to recognize when something does not look right.
Requirements
Must-Have:
- Previous customer service, customer-facing, or operational support experience.
- Advanced English proficiency across speaking, writing, and reading.
- Strong numerical skills and confidence working with percentages, costs, margins, multiplication, division, and basic business calculations.
- Excellent accuracy and attention to detail when comparing orders, prices, costs, spreadsheets, and other business data.
- Ability to recognize unusual or incorrect figures and investigate them before proceeding.
- Professional written communication skills and confidence asking questions or raising concerns when information is unclear.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in accounting, banking, finance, order processing, or another numbers- and data-intensive environment.
- Experience entering or reviewing high volumes of sales orders or transactional information.
- Previous exposure to logistics, warehousing, freight, or supply chain operations.
- Experience working with spreadsheets, order management platforms, ERP systems, or similar business software.
- Previous experience communicating with U.S.-based customers or teams.
