#### **About Allied Maker** Allied Maker delivers luxury-crafted, highly engineered, sophisticated yet simple lighting fixtures, proudly produced in the United States and shared worldwide. We are passionate about using the finest materials, embracing natural patinas, and honoring the art of artisan craftsmanship. We create our parts in-house and collaborate with the best local makers to produce fixtures made with love by skilled artisans. Founded in 2012 as a garage woodworking studio on the North Shore of Long Island, Allied Maker has grown into a design studio with a strong manufacturing backbone. How we care for our clients is central to everything we build. --- #### **The Role** Allied Maker is seeking an organized, dependable, and highly responsive Production Coordinator to support our production team.

When an order changes or a delay occurs, the Production Coordinator helps ensure that the right people know promptly and that the information is documented correctly.

They will understand that small details, such as an unconfirmed address, missing component, or uncommunicated delay, can have a significant effect on the client experience. --- #### **Key Responsibilities** **Order and Shipping Confirmation** - Review upcoming orders and confirm that shipping addresses and contact information are complete and accurate - Contact clients or work with the Sales team to resolve missing or conflicting shipping information - Verify shipping instructions, split-shipment requests, and other order-specific requirements - Confirm that order information is properly documented in internal systems - Identify issues that could prevent an order from shipping and escalate them promptly - Support Dispatch with accurate, timely information as orders approach completion **Production Communication** - Monitor production schedules and identify orders that may not meet their expected completion dates - Gather accurate status information from Production Managers and department leads - Communicate production delays clearly and promptly to the Sales team - Assist with client-facing delay notifications using approved company language and accurate information - Document communications, revised expectations, and required follow-ups - Ensure that changes are communicated across departments so that everyone is working from the same information - Follow up on open production issues until they are resolved **Inventory and Material Coordination** - Assist with locating, organizing, counting, and tracking materials and components - Help coordinate materials needed for current and upcoming production - Move materials, components, and work-in-progress safely between departments - Deliver parts and materials to the appropriate production areas as needed - Identify missing, damaged, mislabeled, or incorrectly located inventory - Communicate inventory shortages and discrepancies to Production Managers and the appropriate internal teams - Help maintain clean, clearly identified, and organized material staging areas - Support physical inventory counts and other inventory-control activities **Production Support** - Provide day-to-day administrative and operational assistance to Production Managers - Prepare production documents, order information, labels, lists, and other materials as requested - Help track open items, shortages, priorities, and next actions - Assist with coordinating urgent orders and production changes - Follow up with internal departments to obtain missing information or materials - Help maintain an orderly flow of work across the production floor - Take on additional production support responsibilities as operational needs change --- #### Qualifications - Approximately 1 to 3 years of experience in production, manufacturing, warehousing, operations, logistics, order coordination, or a related environment - Strong organizational skills and careful attention to detail - Clear, professional written and verbal communication - Ability to follow multiple orders and open items without losing track of details - Strong follow-through and a willingness to take ownership of problems - Comfort communicating with production employees, managers, sales representatives, and clients - Ability to work effectively in both an office setting and an active production environment - Basic proficiency with email, spreadsheets, and standard business software - Experience with Wrike, NetSuite, inventory systems, or manufacturing software is helpful but not required - Ability to safely lift and move materials and components throughout the workday - Availability to work on-site Monday through Friday --- #### What We Are Looking For - Accurate, organized, and dependable - Proactive about identifying and communicating problems - Comfortable moving between a computer and the production floor - Able to prioritize in a fast-moving environment - Calm and clear when plans change - Willing to ask questions rather than make unsupported assumptions - Disciplined about documenting information and closing loops - Respectful and effective with people across different departments - Helpful, practical, and willing to contribute wherever needed - Interested in learning how a sophisticated product moves from raw material through production and delivery This role is not simply about passing information from one person to another.
