    Description

    Are you passionate about helping to save the lives of dogs and cats?

    About the role: We're looking for a transport coordinator who will be responsible for gathering/compiling all of the passenger and contact info for drivers for each transport, recruiting drivers, preparing a run sheet with all the details, communicating with transport participants as needed, and distributing the run sheet to everyone who's involved that week.

    Who we need: You're organized, responsive to emails and looking for a great opportunity to help dogs and cats safely travel from the south to the north to find loving homes.

    We need someone reliable for this position. Someone who's a self starter and can work on their own. Someone who's a details freak and likes to make sure all the I's are dotted and all the T's are crossed. Training is self paced so it's up to you to ask questions or ask for help. Training requires reading, interpreting, and doing the steps. It's not video based and it's not trainer led.

    We're looking for someone who's great at pulling all the details together. Someone who can work independently once trained. Someone who is RELENTLESS at getting the job done and does not disappear into the night, never to be heard from again.

    After training we need you to coordinate 1 transport per month. There's email work involved during the weeks you are coordinating.

    This is remote PC work and emails. Cannot be done from a mobile device. Hours are flexible throughout the week as long as you meet our deadline for getting the final document out to everyone on Friday.

    We have some self-paced lessons you go through in 2 weeks' time to learn our process. Then you shadow an experienced coordinator on a run. Next, you coordinate your first transport with an experienced coordinator assisting. After that you fly on your own and pick the weeks you want to work.

    READY TO GET STARTED? Reply to this listing to get the first lesson. Must be located in the Eastern time zone.
