• Maintain accurate and updated parts catalogues, including fitment data, technical specifications, and cross‑references.
• Collaborate closely with logistics and inventory teams to ensure timely delivery and optimal stock levels.
• Resolve customer complaints related to parts (quality, delivery, warranty) in a professional and timely manner.
• Prepare and deliver regular sales reports, forecasts, and KPI tracking (order volume, revenue, margins, stock turnover).
• Stay continuously updated on product changes, new model launches, technical training, and parts updates from Changan’s global technical centre.
