About The Position

The Associate Auction Coordinator represents Auction.com at live real estate auctions, traditionally held on courthouse steps. The role involves conducting, co-hosting, and participating in auctions; interacting with bidders; completing auction processes; and educating customers about how to participate.

Schedules are assigned weekly by the Area/State Manager according to auction needs. The schedule must be flexible and adaptable and may include training sessions and administrative tasks. Work averages 4–8 hours per week, though hours fluctuate and are not guaranteed. Additional compensation opportunities may be available through training, administrative tasks, and other resources.

The role requires customer service, technical aptitude, adaptability, communication skills, comfort leading and interacting with a crowd, and the ability to travel to events in a personal vehicle.
