- Ensure alignment between national support and local market execution, driving consistency in how to operate from coast to coast.
- Own the continuous improvement of metric reporting, transitioning raw data into actionable insights for regional leadership and market teams to put into practice.
- Establish national performance baselines and target benchmarks for construction methods and velocity, repair SLAs, drop completion rates, and in-home installation quality.
- Leverage performance data to partner with regional teams in holding third-party vendors and contractors accountable to SLAs and adherence to quality standards.
- Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing National Operations Support team composed of data analysts, process engineers, and operations specialists.
