Coordinators bring together all aspects of a project, often at a middle management level. Administrative, care, event, marketing, and sales coordinators work in various industries, each with specific requirements and responsibilities.
A coordinator position is a job where the employee brings together all aspects of a production or project. Coordinators work mainly in medium and large companies. A coordinator position is often at a middle management level, such as a step or two away from a supervisory capacity. Coordinators work in many different industries and sectors. Sales, marketing, events, health, and administration are some of the most common types of coordinator positions.
An administrative coordinator is a supportive position in a team environment. Administrative Coordinators must also be able to work independently and manage a computer database. A strong ability to recognize and attend to priorities is especially crucial, as an administrative coordinator position involves working on many project details simultaneously. Some administrative coordinators travel on a business trip to attend meeting details.
Care coordinator positions usually require the ability to access computer medical records. Basic medical terminology and/or a professional degree may also be required for care coordinator jobs. Health Unit Coordinators work in hospital communication environments and require an understanding of the legal aspects of medical care. Healthcare modules need to be coordinated across different hospital departments. In some US states, a health unit coordinator can request a certificate from the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators.
Event Coordinators may be working on a short-term basis for each project contract. They can also work full time managing many different types of events. Training staff for specific tasks at events may be part of an event coordinator’s job. An event coordinator is usually responsible for all event details such as securing a site, parking, seating, setup, and communicating with marketing for publicity materials. Event coordinators may be required to write initial plans first which need to be approved by their managers.
A marketing coordinator position often includes meeting with several department heads to coordinate a company’s product and promotional materials. Marketing coordinators may also need to track project details, including the budget. Planning trade shows and advertising events are tasks that are often the responsibility of a marketing coordinator. A marketing diploma and fundraising experience are generally preferred for candidates interested in promotional types of coordinator positions.
General Sales Coordinators may report to a manager or manager. Country Sales Coordinators usually have more responsibility as well as experience. Communication and problem-solving skills are essential for a sales coordinator position. Most employers looking for sales coordinators expect proven sales skills and leadership skills.
