About the Client:
Our client is a premier residential and commercial fencing provider serving the high-demand markets of the Pacific Northwest with a focus on elite craftsmanship and security. They are a Seattle-based contractor specializing in durable, high-quality residential and commercial installations designed for the Pacific Northwest climate. They utilize a premium selection of materials, including Clear Western Red Cedar for privacy and horizontal designs, ornamental iron and powder-coated steel for security, and low-maintenance options like vinyl, aluminum, and vinyl-coated chain link. To ensure structural longevity, they incorporate specialized technology such as PostMaster steel posts and Post-on-Pipe systems, all backed by a multi-year workmanship warranty.
About the Role:

Your primary function is to act as the trusted bridge between our Russian/Ukrainian-speaking field crews and our English-speaking customers. You will translate not just words, but the true intent, expectations, and technical project details so that absolutely nothing is lost in translation.
Beyond communication, this is a coordination-and-resolution role. While you won't personally run the field crews or order inventory, you are fully responsible for ensuring every project detail is clearly communicated, every roadblock is driven to a solution, and every department is pulled together to close issues quickly—without needing to escalate them to ownership

3. Cross-Department Coordination

A Note on This Role:
Because this is a newly created position born directly out of our company's rapid growth, its scope and responsibilities will naturally evolve. We are looking for an entrepreneurial professional who welcomes ambiguity, takes immense initiative, and wants to actively help shape this role as the company expands.
