• Lead the transition to a new service information authoring system, including testing, process definition, user readiness, data quality, and issue resolution.
• Support warranty-reduction and first time quality initiatives by using field data, technician feedback, repair information, and service labor opportunities to identify and improve service procedures.
• Lead special projects and evaluate AI, automation, analytics, and other digital capabilities that improve service information quality, efficiency, and productivity.

• Strong project management, planning, problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership.
• Ability to build effective relationships and influence across engineering, aftersales, warranty, quality, and other partner organizations.
• Demonstrated commitment to customer focus, quality, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)​:

• Master's Degree
• Black Belt DFSS Certification
• Proven success leading complex, cross-functional programs from concept to delivery.
