We are currently looking for a highly-organized, self-motivated individual to join our team temporarily and assist with a unique project. The main responsibility of the successful candidate will be to oversee the process of obtaining moving quotes from approximately 150 moving companies for two different types of moves. This role is expected to involve a significant amount of emailing and may also require telephone communication. A USA phone number, which can be used over the internet, will be provided.
