As an Scheduling Coordinator and Dispatcher, you will be working with our network of interpreters to schedule and dispatch for in-person, video, and telephone interpretation jobs. Days are filled with scheduling, phone calls, emails, texts, negotiating, problem solving, and critical thinking.

We service a high volume of interpreting jobs each day, so you will be busy and the day will fly by. A successful Scheduling Coordinator and Dispatcher is cool under pressure and welcomes a challenging day. If you prefer to work in a quiet and/or slower pace, this position is not the right fit. Our coordinators are a fun group because they love what they do, why they do it, and who they do it with!

Responsibilities:

  • Interpreter Coordination: Manage a team of skilled interpreters, maintaining their schedules, ensuring their readiness for assignments, and supporting them throughout the process
  • Dispatch Excellence: Efficiently assign interpreters to appointments based on their expertise, location, and availability while juggling time-sensitive demands
  • Client Communication: Liaise with clients to understand their language service needs and ensure a smooth interpretation process, while providing exceptional customer service
  • Problem Solving: Tackle logistical challenges head-on, adapting to last-minute changes and ensuring that all parties are well-informed and comfortable with the revised arrangements
  • Continuous Improvement: Collaborate with internal teams to identify areas for process optimization and contribute to the enhancement of our interpreter coordination and dispatch systems

Requirements

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal abilities to interact effectively with interpreters, clients, and internal teams.
  • Adaptability and composure under pressure, ensuring a high level of professionalism in all situations.
  • A passion for languages, cross-cultural understanding, and an eagerness to make a positive impact.
  • Previous experience in interpreter coordination, dispatch, or related fields is a plus, but not mandatory for candidates with the right attitude and aptitude.
