The role of Associate Auction Coordinator is vital to Auction.com’s continued success as it involves being the face of the company during live real estate auctions, primarily held on courthouse steps. This position requires a dynamic individual who can effectively conduct, co-host, and participate in live auctions while managing multiple tasks to ensure all processes are successfully executed. The Associate Auction Coordinator plays an important role in not only facilitating the auction but also engaging and educating bidders and customers about the auction process, ultimately helping to turn houses into homes and supporting local community growth.

This is an hourly position with training pay starting at $17.50 per hour. Upon successful completion of the training program and with demonstrated development of skills, proficiency, and responsibilities, the pay increases incrementally to a range between $20.00 and $30.00 per hour. The position is centered around Conroe, Texas, but involves travel up to two hours for auctions in surrounding areas with mileage reimbursement provided for distances over 40 miles per day. In cases where travel exceeds two hours, a rental car may be provided based on projected mileage and scheduling needs.

Flexibility is a must as the schedule varies depending on monthly auction assignments from the area or state manager. Work hours can range from 2 to 8 hours per auction day, with an average of 6 to 12 hours worked monthly, though hours are not guaranteed. Alongside auction days, the role involves attendance at required training sessions, completion of administrative tasks, and participation in team calls and professional development opportunities.
