ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency - we operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients’ teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

They are seeking a Remote Operations Support Coordinator to manage patient and nursing scheduling support, resolve issues, and provide direct client-facing communication. This role is crucial in ensuring smooth daily operations during early hours and weekends by handling time-sensitive tasks such as client communications, last-minute scheduling issues, and staff check-ins.
