Hello Future ResQer!

ResQ is looking for a Trade Operations Associate to join our dynamic team and help build a thriving trade network that powers our marketplace. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on relationship-building, loves the challenge of proactive outreach, and takes pride in turning first conversations into long-term partnerships.

As part of the operations team, you’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging, onboarding, and managing trades to ensure they are set up for success on the ResQ platform. From the first outreach to hands-on training and long-term relationship management, you'll be the connector that helps great service providers grow their business with ResQ.

We thrive on being transparent and we know Trade Operations requires a certain interest and discipline, so we have included some questions to ask yourself to help you choose if this role is right for you at this specific time (if not, then let’s connect later!!)

• Preventative Maintenance Program Setup & Quoting: Own the quoting, setup, and ongoing management of preventative maintenance programs across our trade base. This includes coordinating with both trades and internal teams to ensure programs are built to drive long-term revenue and reduce reactive work.
• Trade Support & Problem Solving : Develop strong, long-term relationships with both new and existing trades. Quickly and effectively resolve trade issues, advocate for improvements, and provide insights to help optimize the ResQ platform.
• Data-Driven Performance Management : Track trade performance, service activity, and growth metrics. Use data to make smart decisions, identify gaps, and prioritize outreach to optimize performance.
