Job Description
We are looking for Hawaii based observer coordinators who can handle complicated day-to-day logistics while keeping an eye on the big picture.

You need to be someone who can handle the “heat in the kitchen” and still maintain a calm demeanor with clients and employees. You must be a critical thinker, dedicated to getting your work completed, have excellent communication skills and be able to grasp basic budget concepts. You should be someone who gains satisfaction from working with people on a daily basis, and be fun to work with. If this sounds like you, and this opportunity fits with your professional goals, we may have a job for you.
