About The Position

As an Operations Specialist at Encore, you are the second layer between our customers and our technicians. Your role ensures we deliver exactly what we promised, exactly how and when we said we would. You will review scopes of work, support accurate billing, and connect the dots between contracts, work performed, and invoices. The pace is fast, and the volume is high, so you will need to be proactive, organized, and comfortable working toward tight deadlines. This role is a great fit for someone who likes to gather information, sort through the details, and figure out how the pieces fit together. You enjoy working independently, but you also value strong relationships with customers, technicians, and internal partners. You can see the bigger picture, without losing track of the small details that make the work right.
