Job Description

**About Us**

We are Make A Way Transport, a transportation company providing essential ride services across multiple regions, including medical appointments, community programs, and daily transportation needs.

As our operations continue to grow, we are hiring a Virtual Dispatcher to join our internal team and support day-to-day driver coordination and scheduling.

This is a direct role within our company, where you will work closely with our drivers to manage schedules, assign trips, and ensure smooth daily operations.

**Location:** Remote (Worldwide)

**Position Type:** Part-Time (with opportunity to grow into Full-Time)

**Compensation:** Starting at $100/week

As a Virtual Dispatcher, you will be at the center of daily operations — coordinating drivers, managing trip schedules, and ensuring clients are transported safely and on time.

This role requires **strong decision-making, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm under pressure**.

* Assign trips to drivers based on availability, location, and efficiency
* Monitor daily routes and ensure on-time pickups and drop-offs
* Communicate with drivers in real-time to resolve delays or issues
* Handle last-minute changes, cancellations, and schedule adjustments
* Track trip progress and update internal systems accordingly
* Provide support to drivers throughout their shifts
* Maintain clear and professional communication with team members
* Ensure all operations align with company standards and expectations

We are not just looking for someone to “dispatch” - we need someone who can **think, adapt, and take ownership**.

* Strong organizational and multitasking skills
* Excellent verbal and written communication
* Ability to problem-solve quickly and effectively
* High attention to detail
* Reliable and responsive
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
* Tech-savvy (able to learn dispatching tools and apps quickly)
* Reliable laptop or computer
* Stable internet connection
* Quiet work environment
* Ability to be available during assigned shifts

Our process is designed to identify candidates who can truly perform in this role:

1. Initial application review
2. Phone/virtual interview
3. Practical assessment (scenario-based – recorded)
4. Paid On-the-Job Training (2–4 weeks)
5. Final selection

This role starts as part-time but offers:

* Increased hours based on performance
* Opportunity to transition into a full-time dispatcher role
* Opportunity to take ownership of operations
* Individuals with logistics, dispatch, or coordination experience
* Virtual assistants looking to specialize in operations
* Highly organized individuals who enjoy problem-solving
* Candidates who want to grow with a fast-moving company
* This is a **high-responsibility role** — reliability and responsiveness are critical
* You must be able to manage multiple moving parts at once
* We are looking for long-term team members, not short-term fillers

If you believe you are a strong fit and ready to take on this role, we'd love to hear from you!
