What does a branch coordinator do?

Branch Coordinators are employees assigned to act as the main point of contact between the branch and the company's head office. They are assigned to the branch and would usually work on administrative activities. Branch coordinators inform their head office counterparts on what is happening in the branch. They update the head office on activities, challenges, and any other happening that may need to be escalated to higher management. Branch coordinators also send the head office requests for materials, supplies, and other resources that the branch may need. They may also be assigned to help in the performance assessments of employees in the branch.

What does an office manager do?

Office managers oversee the entire workplace. They maintain office processes and services to ensure that everything is running well. They manage office supplies by managing inventory and procurement procedures. They also device filing systems, create needed and relevant office policies, and ensure that all the policies are being followed. As a way to make sure that the office is in top shape, office managers supervise most of the logistical aspects inside the office. They also provide support to both management teams and the rest of the employees. They often act as the bridge between the two and would sometimes even assist in the training of new employees.
