Branch Operations Coordinator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We specialize in mitigating and rebuilding residential and commercial properties damaged by fire, water, storms, and other disasters. We partner with leading insurance carriers and handle everything from emergency cleanup to complete rebuilds, with a focus on safety, integrity, and advocacy. As entrepreneurs, we take full ownership of the work we do and the families we serve.

At Merit, our purpose is simple and non-negotiable: we work together as a team so we can change lives. Teamwork is the foundation of everything we do-because teamwork creates impact, and impact changes lives. We exist to help people, and the only way we do that at the highest level is by moving as one team, aligned in mission, values, and execution.

Why we exist. We exist for two families. The families we serve and the families inside this company. When we work together and serve our clients at the highest level, both families win.

Company-Wide Responsibilities

Branch Operations Coordinators are part of a shared services team that supports every Merit location. While each coordinator is assigned to a home branch, they are expected to work as one team-answering calls, responding to emails, scheduling appointments, dispatching technicians, and supporting operational execution across the company to deliver a consistent customer experience.

In addition to branch responsibilities, each Branch Operations Coordinator will have clearly defined company-wide ownership areas. These responsibilities will be assigned individually and may include functions such as dispatch, ALBI administration, reporting, Google Reviews, TPA compliance, software administration, or other operational initiatives. Success in this role requires collaboration, flexibility, and a commitment to helping the entire company succeed-not just your assigned branch.

In practice: inbound calls ring at every location at once. The first to answer owns the call end to end - answer, book, schedule, and hand off with complete notes, regardless of which branch it is for.

Requirements

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required.

         2+ years in dispatch, office management, or administrative coordination (restoration, trade, or service preferred).

         Tech-comfortable: Albi, Sage, XactAnalysis, Adobe, Microsoft Office, scheduling and invoicing tools (or a fast learner).

         Strong organization and multitasking under a high volume of calls and changes.

         Clear, professional communicator; customer-focused and team-oriented.

         Organized but flexible; comfortable making sound decisions independently.

         Reliable, Proactive, and detail-oriented
