Approximately 3-4 hours of planning and 4-5 hours of ‘on-call’ availability per move. The expectation is to coordinate a minimum of 1 move per month. The first few moves will of course take longer to plan as you are getting used to the process. *Please note: the work of a Move Coordinator isn’t performed in a single or continuous ‘shift’; rather, it involves communication with the client over the phone and planning at your convenience. Typically this planning stage spans approximately 7 to 10 days prior to the move. Then, on the day of the move we ask you to be ‘on-call’, or available and reachable by phone should any issues arise during the move. This is a fully remote position, with occasional meetings (in-person and/or conference calls.) |
