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.

The Role

Allied Maker is seeking an organized, dependable, and highly responsive Production Coordinator to support our production team.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable moving between administrative work and the production floor. The Production Coordinator helps ensure that orders, materials, information, and communication move cleanly through the company.

You will confirm shipping information, monitor order readiness, communicate production delays, help coordinate inventory, move materials between departments, and provide day-to-day support to Production Managers. The role requires someone who notices what is missing, follows up without being prompted, and stays with an issue until it is resolved.

This position sits at an important point between production, inventory, sales, dispatch, and the client. Clear communication and accurate information are essential. 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.

The right person will be highly organized, comfortable in an active manufacturing environment, and willing to help wherever needed. 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.
