·   Support new product launches, engineering changes, phase-ins/phase-outs, customer onboarding, and changes in customer systems or procedures by coordinating data readiness and communication.

·   Analyze recurring service issues and performance trends, identify root causes with cross-functional partners, and implement improvements that strengthen delivery reliability and customer experience.

·   Support customer service metrics and operating reviews, including delivery performance, backlog, past-due orders, expedites, premium freight, response time, and issue closure.

·   Serve as an escalation resource and subject-matter expert for complex account or system issues; train colleagues on customer requirements, systems, and standard work as needed.
