Operations Coordinator
Location: Matawan, NJ 07747
Employment Type: Permanent, Full-Time (FTE)
Work Arrangement: Onsite Monday–Friday. Work from home on Fridays after the first 90 days.
About the Opportunity
We are looking for a proactive, organized, and technology-oriented Operations Coordinator to support retail operations, technology initiatives, store-driven projects, and cross-functional business activities.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong project coordination and execution skills with a practical understanding of technology environments, including POS systems, networking, ERP platforms, and enterprise applications.
You will serve as a key connection between store operations, field teams, IT, vendors, and internal business departments, ensuring initiatives move forward efficiently from initial requirements through implementation and completion.
This is not a traditional administrative coordinator position or a formal Project Manager role. We are looking for someone with the ownership, organization, communication, and execution capabilities of a Project Manager who can also understand and communicate effectively with technical teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate technology-driven operational initiatives, store requests, system enhancements, and cross-functional business activities.
- Work closely with store managers, field teams, IT, vendors, and internal stakeholders to understand business requirements and operational needs.
- Support initiatives involving POS systems, ERP platforms, networking, store technology, and enterprise applications.
- Coordinate activities from initiation through completion, managing timelines, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and follow-ups.
- Translate business and store requirements into clear, actionable information for technical and operational teams.
- Coordinate system enhancements, testing, implementation activities, technology rollouts, and store readiness.
- Track project progress, identify potential risks or bottlenecks, and proactively drive resolutions or escalate issues.
- Prepare status reports, meeting agendas, documentation, action items, and stakeholder communications.
- Maintain consistent communication across departments to ensure alignment on priorities, timelines, and expectations.
- Identify opportunities to improve operational workflows, documentation, and coordination processes.
Required Qualifications
- Associate or Bachelor's degree in Business, Operations, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in operations coordination, IT coordination, technology support, implementation coordination, or a related role.
- Working knowledge or exposure to POS systems, ERP platforms, networking, IT infrastructure, or enterprise applications.
- Strong project coordination capabilities, including managing timelines, tracking deliverables, coordinating stakeholders, and driving execution.
- Ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and non-technical business stakeholders.
- Strong organizational, problem-solving, multitasking, and follow-through abilities.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace.
- Experience in retail, grocery, multi-location operations, or store technology environments is preferred.
- Spanish bilingual communication skills are a plus.
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?
The ideal candidate is someone who:
- Understands technology and can comfortably speak the language of IT, networking, POS, and ERP systems.
- Takes ownership of initiatives rather than simply following up on assigned tasks.
- Can coordinate multiple stakeholders and keep activities moving toward completion.
- Understands the connection between technology systems and day-to-day store operations.
- Is proactive, detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
