Scheduling Operations Manager & Master Scheduler

RELA Language Professionals • Salt Lake City, UT

About The Position

As our Scheduling Operations Manager & Master Scheduler , you’ll lead the heartbeat of RELA’s interpretation operations. Think of yourself as the air traffic controller of a live, fast-moving schedule — except instead of planes, you’re coordinating interpreters across cities, clinics, courts, and clients who are counting on you to show up for them. This is a working leadership role. You’ll personally command the live schedule when it matters, coach a team of schedulers into stronger independent operators, build the systems and playbooks that make the department run smoothly, and protect our client relationships by making sure nothing slips through the cracks. It’s high-stakes, high-energy, and incredibly rewarding. And for the right person, it’s also a launching pad into broader operations leadership at a growing, mission-driven company.

RELA Language Professionals provides interpretation and translation in more than 80 languages. We work with major healthcare systems — including St. Luke’s, Intermountain Health, and Terry Reilly — along with community, business, and legal clients. Since 2017, we’ve grown into a serious player in the language services industry, and we’re just getting started. Our vision is to transcend language to empower and unite humanity. Our values are Relationships, Excellence, Legacy, and Advance & Ascend. We’re a direct, honest, no-politics culture where the people who take real ownership help shape what RELA becomes next.
