    The Operations Coordinator plays a critical role in ensuring smooth day-to-day execution across leasing, maintenance, turns, and vendor operations. This position serves as the central point of coordination between Property Managers, Maintenance, Accounting, and external vendors—ensuring tasks move forward on time, standards are met, and exceptions are surfaced early. This role supports scale and operational efficiency as the portfolio grows.

    • Improve work order flow, scheduling, and follow-through

    Maintenance & Field Coordination • Route incoming work orders to internal technicians or external vendors

    • Monitor open work orders and ensure timely completion

    • Coordinate vacant and move-in logistics including access, utilities

    • Flag delays, repeat issues, or capacity constraints to leadership

    • Support preventive maintenance scheduling and tracking

    • Track vendor bids, approvals, and work completion

    • Coordinate material ordering and vendor scheduling

    • Ensure invoices align with approved work orders

    • Maintain vendor documentation (COIs, W-9s, contacts)

    Communication & Issue Escalation • Act as first point of contact for operational coordination issues

    • Route issues appropriately to maintenance supervisor, PM, or leadership

    • Ensure timely updates are communicated to stakeholders

    • Escalate emergencies, safety issues, or recurring problems

    Systems, Documentation & Reporting • Maintain accurate records in property management software

    • Ensure notes, photos, and completion details are entered

    • Track operational KPIs (work order aging, turn times, vendor response)

    • Prepare weekly operational summaries for leadership

    Process Support & Improvement • Help document SOPs for maintenance, vendors, and operations

    • Identify inefficiencies and recurring pain points

    • Support implementation of standardized workflows / automation
