• Gather and document all relevant information related to customer concerns or complaints, determine appropriate escalation (FDA or internal), and route issues for timely resolution.
• Verify warranty claims and coordinate repair services as needed.
• Record and communicate the status of returns, repairs, replacements, sales orders, and delivery schedules.
• Collaborate with internal departments such as Manufacturing, Logistics, Finance, and All Claim to resolve scheduling, production, shipping, or invoicing concerns.
• Maintain a solid understanding of Ottobock product lines and fabrication processes.
• Meet or exceed departmental goals related to order accuracy, response time, call handling, Net Promoter Score, and productivity.
• Actively participate in team meetings, process improvement initiatives, and required training to enhance the overall customer experience.
