About The Position

The Transplant Organ Allocation Coordinator reports to the Transplant Program Manager and plays a critical role in supporting solid organ transplantation through clinical expertise, coordination, and regulatory compliance. Working under general supervision, the coordinator uses clinical judgment to evaluate donor organ offers, collaborate with multidisciplinary transplant teams, and facilitate safe, timely organ allocation and transplantation. This position provides remote coordination support for both adult and pediatric solid organ transplant populations, including heart, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas programs. Strong communication skills are essential, as the role requires frequent transitions between multiple communication and documentation platforms in a fast-paced, high-acuity environment. The coordinator must demonstrate sound clinical judgment, effectively prioritize competing demands, and adapt to rapidly changing clinical situations while maintaining accuracy, compliance, and patient safety.
