  • International Travel Coordination
  • Plan and coordinate complex domestic and international travel arrangements for team members (flights, accommodations, visas, transportation, itineraries)
  • Manage last-minute changes and troubleshoot travel issues across multiple time zones
  • Ensure compliance with company travel policies and cost guidelines
  • Vendor & Staffing Coordination
  • Support the administration of agreements with staffing partners across U.S. facilities

  • Serve as a point of coordination between internal teams and external staffing vendors
  • Reporting & Administrative Support
  • Assist engineering and operations teams with reporting, data tracking, and documentation
  • Utilize Excel to compile, analyze, and maintain reports (pivot tables, formulas, data organization)
  • Prepare summaries, dashboards, and internal communications as needed
  • General Administrative Support

  • Proven experience coordinating complex international travel (required)
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel (reporting, data tracking, formulas)
  • Experience working with vendor contracts or external partners preferred
  • Excellent organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt in a dynamic environment
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
