Follow up with drivers for pickup/delivery photos and route audits

Maintain open communication with drivers and VAs throughout the day

Work closely with the admin and sales assistants to gather daily notes

Communicate call-outs, route changes, or urgent updates

Be an all-around team player willing to jump in and help wherever needed — including phone calls, follow-ups, or customer updates when necessary

TOOLS WE USE:

Tookan – routing and dispatching

---------- – task management

Slack – communication

Google Sheets – auditing, tracking, and reporting

IDEAL CANDIDATE:

Strong background in routing, dispatching, or operations leadership

Experience managing drivers or coordinating deliveries

Excellent English communication (written and spoken)

Comfortable managing pressure and solving problems in real time

Highly organized, accountable, and detail-oriented

Open-minded and willing to help the team wherever needed

Able to work independently and confidently during U.S. business hours
