Balance customer satisfaction, dealer partnership, and company policy.

Cross-Functional Coordination Coordinate resolution efforts across Operations, Manufacturing, Quality, R & D, Sales, and Finance. Drive accountability across internal teams to meet commitments impacting dealers and customers. Escalate internally when needed to prevent delays or customer churn.

Partner with Dealer Development, Quality, and Operations to improve processes, training, and tools. Provide feedback to improve dealer onboarding, standards, and ongoing support.
