About The Position

The Service Solutions Manager reports to the Head of Service Solutions, North America and is responsible for leading a regional team of QIAGEN Field Service Specialists supporting customers in the northeastern United States, a region representing approximately 15% of North America service revenue. This role is accountable for high-quality service delivery, customer satisfaction, regional P&L performance, service revenue contribution, cost control, effective resource utilization, and consistent execution of field service objectives. The Service Solutions Manager owns regional financial performance for service revenue, overtime, travel, parts usage, inventory, tools, and other controllable operating expenses, while working within budget targets established by North America Service leadership. The Service Solutions Manager provides day-to-day leadership, coaching, and performance management for the field service team while partnering closely with Sales, Service Contract Sales, Service Dispatch, Technical Support, Operations, North America Service leadership, and global service teams.

This role also provides opportunities to collaborate with global service teams and leadership, contributing regional field insight to broader service initiatives while gaining exposure to different markets, cultures, operating models, and best practices across QIAGEN's global service organization.
