About The Position

Music & Arts is the nation’s leading partner in K–12 music education, and our School Services business requires disciplined, efficient operations to deliver on that mission. As the organization shifts into a modern B2B sales model, operational support has become a strategic advantage—not just a back-office function. The Regional Logistics Coordinator (RLC) is the operational engine that fuels field productivity. RLCs eliminate friction, streamline order workflows, manage repair and rental logistics, and ensure that Educational Account Managers (EAMs) and District Managers (DMs) stay focused on what matters most: serving educators, growing school programs, and increasing our market impact. The RLC enhances educator experience, improves order accuracy, accelerates turnaround times, and strengthens the operational infrastructure of School Services across the region.
