Project Coordinator u2013 Interpretation Solutions

U.S. Translation Company | Salt Lake City, Utah

Full-Time | On-Site | Entry Level

Looking for more than your next job?

U.S. Translation Company is looking for a high-energy, organized, and motivated early-career professional who wants to learn, contribute, and build a long-term career with a purpose-driven organization.

For more than 30 years, we have helped people and organizations communicate across languages and cultures. Our Interpretation Solutions team supports multilingual communication for businesses, healthcare organizations, universities, government agencies, conferences, and other organizations across the country.

We're not looking for someone who already knows everything. We're looking for someone with potential: a fast learner with a strong work ethic, positive attitude, excellent communication skills, and the drive to become exceptional at what they do.

This position is designed for a recent graduate or early-career professional with approximately 0u20133 years of professional experience who wants an opportunity to grow.

What You'll Do

As a Project Coordinator, you'll work closely with our Head of Interpretation Solutions and help coordinate interpretation projects from beginning to end.

• Communicate with clients and provide exceptional customer service.
• Coordinate interpreters for virtual, hybrid, and in-person assignments and events.
• Recruit and build relationships with interpreters and other language professionals.
• Negotiate vendor rates while maintaining positive relationships.
• Prepare quotes and follow up with clients.
• Coordinate schedules, logistics, technology, and project requirements.
• Help ensure every project is delivered accurately, professionally, and on time.
• Maintain project information in our business management and CRM systems.
• Work closely with our sales, technology, and operations teams.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and client experiences.
• Help strengthen relationships with existing clients and support the growth of the department.

Who We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in someone who is:

• High-energy and positive.
• Extremely responsive and dependable.
• A fast learner who enjoys being coached.
• Organized and able to manage many moving pieces at once.
• Comfortable picking up the phone and communicating with people.
• Confident enough to negotiate while still building strong relationships.
• Detail-oriented and committed to following through.
• Comfortable with technology and learning new systems.
• A problem solver who takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do.
• A team player who enjoys helping others succeed.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants stability and a long-term opportunity to grow.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree completed or in progress, or equivalent professional experience.
• Approximately 0u20133 years of professional experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational and follow-up skills.
• Valid driver's license.
• Ability to work full-time, on-site in our Salt Lake City office, Monday through Friday.
• Must currently live within reasonable commuting distance of our Salt Lake City office or already have definite plans to relocate independently.

Helpful, but not required:

• Customer service, hospitality, events, scheduling, administration, project coordination, or sales support experience.
• Experience negotiating or persuading others.
• HubSpot or other CRM experience.
• Bilingual communication abilities.
• Experience with interpretation, translation, accessibility, international business, or multicultural environments.

You do not need previous language-industry experience. We will train the right person.

What You'll Learn

This isn't a position where we expect you to arrive knowing everything.

You will receive hands-on training in:

• Project management
• Interpretation services
• Client relationship management
• Vendor management and negotiation
• Event coordination
• Language technologies and AI
• HubSpot and our project management systems
• Business development and client retention

As you demonstrate your capabilities, you'll have opportunities to take on greater responsibility and grow within the company.
