    Who are we?

    Kitchen Guard DMV is a fast-growing commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company serving restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and commercial facilities across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. We run a professional, accountability-driven operation — and we need a Coordinator who matches that standard.

    Job Overview: This is a customer-facing operations role, not a passive administrative position. You will be the primary point of contact for scheduling, confirming, and onboarding our commercial clients. You need to be comfortable picking up the phone, tracking down decision-makers who don't always call back, and having direct, professional conversations — including ones where you need to push back or persuade.

    Primary Responsibilities:

    DMV Awareness:

    Must be familiar with driving and the Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland area in order to plan out the schedule so jobs are in close proximity to each other.

    Scheduling & Job Confirmation

    Manage and maintain the master service schedule for all active clients

    Confirm every scheduled job with the customer no less than 7 days in advance

    Proactively track down clients who are difficult to reach — you don't wait for them to call you back

    Update scheduling records in real time; no gaps, no missing info

    Coordinate directly with Chad Dempster daily to ensure all upcoming jobs are reviewed and documented before crews depart

    Customer Onboarding

    Conduct onboarding calls/meetings with all new clients to set up their annual cleaning schedule

    Collect and securely process client credit/debit card information for recurring billing

    Document crew access instructions for each location: entry points, keypad codes, contact names, start/stop times, and any special instructions

    Explain and sell clients on our complimentary Lock Box Program — where we provide a free lock box so crews can access the property without the client needing to be present; this requires confident, persuasive communication

    Ensure every onboarding is complete before a client's first service — no missing fields, no assumptions

    Documentation & Handoff

    Maintain accurate, detailed job records in ServiceMinder (our CRM and scheduling platform) — every job should be self-explanatory to anyone reading it

    Flag any access issues, schedule conflicts, or client concerns before they become operational problems

    Occasionally available in the evening to answer clarifying questions from field crews (this should be rare if documentation is done right)

    Qualifications:

    Non-Negotiable Requirements

    Minimum 2 years of proven B2B or commercial customer service experience

    Demonstrated ability to manage scheduling and appointment confirmation in a fast-paced environment

    Comfortable and confident on the phone — you can reach decision-makers, navigate gatekeepers, and hold direct conversations

    Strong documentation discipline — you write things down completely, correctly, and in real time

    Self-starter who manages their own time and follow-up without being chased

    Proficiency with CRM tools, scheduling software, or similar platforms

    Strong Preferences

    Experience in a commercial services company (HVAC, pest control, facilities management, cleaning services, property management, etc.)

    Background in customer onboarding or account setup roles

    Experience collecting payment information and managing billing setup

    Comfortable working with a small, growing team where the job evolves

    Company & Grow Path

    Starting Pay | $20 - 23 per hour, based on experience

    Hours | 40 hours per week to start

    Schedule | Flexible during business hours; occasional evening availability required

    Growth Path | This role is designed to grow to full-time as the company scales

    Future Scope | High performers may take on accounts receivable responsibilities as the business grows
