• Gather customer feedback and market insights to help develop new service offerings that support long term growth and customer retention
• Collaborate with Sales, Service, Product Management, and Operations teams to drive aftermarket business and improve customer satisfaction
• Track performance against key metrics, including service revenue growth, contract renewal rates, service agreement penetration, pipeline health, and customer retention
