Your Role as an Operations Cornerstone

As a Medical Logistics Dispatcher at Rapid Medical, you will serve as the critical link between our laboratory clients, field drivers, and airline partners, ensuring the seamless movement of vital healthcare specimens. This is an exceptional opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about improving healthcare through operational excellence.

Your job is to coordinate and optimize the transportation of medical specimens, ensuring timely pickups and deliveries while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and customer satisfaction. The scope of impact and autonomy will only be limited by your capacity to successfully drive meaningful operational results.

Monitor traffic, weather, and capacity constraints to recalibrate routes in real time. Ensure optimal resource allocation to meet service level agreements and minimize costs.

• Operational Support & Problem Resolution: Provide 24/7 operational support to W2 drivers and independent contractors via our mobile app. Manage emergencies (missed pickups, vehicle breakdowns) and deploy contingency plans to uphold service levels. Demonstrate quick thinking when addressing unexpected challenges. Serve as primary point of contact for laboratory clients, addressing scheduling requests and escalations. Coordinate with airline and ground carriers for specimen tendering, ensuring adherence to IATA and DOT regulations. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and transportation partners.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Bachelor's degree in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Healthcare Administration, or related field.
• 2+ years of logistics coordination experience, preferably in medical or healthcare specimen transport.
• Proficiency with dispatch/planning software; experience with Salesforce Health Cloud a plus.
