• LTSA and commercial performance. Ensure compliance with SLAs, availability and capacity guarantees, response times, reporting obligations, maintenance scope, and liquidated-damages exposure. Own the regional service budget/cost center and, as assigned, service P&L, pricing inputs, lifecycle cost models, change orders, renewals, and service growth.
• Customer leadership. Serve as the executive service owner for strategic customers. Establish governance, performance reviews, escalation protocols, transparent communications, recovery plans, and a consistent experience that supports satisfaction, retention, references, and repeat business.
• Quality and product feedback. Partner with Engineering, Product, Quality, Project Delivery, Supply Chain, Software, Sales, Finance, and Legal to improve serviceability, reliability, documentation, training, warranty terms, contract assumptions, and future product design based on field evidence.
