The Coordinator must possess analytical and problem‐solving skills and be able to make decisions quickly using sound judgment. The Coordinator demonstrates the ability to prioritize to enhance productivity and manage workload with minimal supervision. The Coordinator must understand inventory control and basic accounting principles.
