This is a hands-on, player-coach leadership role.

1. Customer Experience Strategy, Direction & Accountability

• Define and communicate the customer experience vision, priorities, service standards, and multi-year improvement roadmap for the Electric Heat business and related platforms.
• Translate business strategy and customer needs into measurable functional goals, operating priorities, service metrics, and clear expectations for responsiveness, accuracy, ownership, and customer advocacy.
• Create management routines, dashboards, and review processes that make performance visible, drive timely decisions, and reinforce accountability at the team and cross-functional levels.
• Serve as the voice of the customer in business planning and decision-making, using customer feedback, service data, and operating insight to influence priorities and investments.

2. Team Leadership, Capability Building & Culture

• Build, lead, coach, and develop a high-performing Customer Experience organization, including supervisors, team leads, and frontline team members.
• Establish clear roles, decision rights, goals, and performance expectations; provide regular feedback, recognition, coaching, and corrective action as needed.
• Develop staffing, onboarding, training, cross-training, succession, and career-development plans that strengthen bench capability and support business continuity.
• Create a culture of ownership, urgency, collaboration, continuous improvement, and follow-through in which team members understand both the customer impact and business impact of their work.
• Balance workload and capacity across the team, stepping directly into priority work when necessary while continuing to coach others toward greater ownership and capability.

3. Customer Leadership, Strategic Accounts & Escalations

• Serve as the senior Customer Experience point of contact for National Accounts, OEM customers, strategic accounts, and other priority relationships as needed.
• Lead customer meetings, quarterly business reviews, service-performance discussions, escalations, recovery plans, and follow-up actions.
• Personally manage or support complex customer complaints, claims, order issues, and high-impact service failures through resolution, ensuring clear communication and documented accountability.
• Monitor customer satisfaction, NPS, service trends, and feedback; convert insights into targeted action plans, executive summaries, and customer-facing improvements.

4. Day-to-Day Customer Service & Order Management Execution

• Provide hands‑on leadership and direct support for customer inquiries, order entry, order changes, expediting, product availability, pricing questions, sales programs, billing, credit, claims, delivery expectations, and other commercial service needs.
• Ensure standard, non‑standard, commercial, and customer‑specific orders are processed accurately, consistently, and in accordance with customer requirements, business processes, and service expectations.
• Coordinate daily with Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Pricing, Finance, remote warehouse personnel, and other functions to resolve issues and meet commitments.
• Maintain appropriate records, tracking tools, master data, documentation, controls, and communications to support accurate order execution and timely issue resolution.
• Provide coverage and perform customer service work directly during peak demand, staffing gaps, major initiatives, escalations, or other business‑critical situations.

5. Operational Excellence, Metrics & Continuous Improvement

• Develop, monitor, and report key performance indicators for responsiveness, service quality, productivity, customer satisfaction, order performance, workload, departmental capacity, and execution against commitments.
• Use contact patterns, order data, forecasts, feedback, and operating results to identify root causes, set priorities, allocate resources, and improve customer outcomes.
• Lead structured process‑improvement efforts that simplify work, reduce manual activity, improve accuracy, strengthen controls, and increase scalability.
• Ensure process changes, service standards, and work instructions are documented, communicated, trained, measured, and sustained.

6. Systems, ERP, Compliance & Business Transformation

• Provide business leadership for ERP implementation, integration, testing, training, process adoption, post‑launch stabilization, and enhancement of customer service systems and tools.
• Remain actively engaged in requirements definition, testing, issue resolution, user support, data validation, and workflow decisions that affect customers and the Customer Experience team.
• Own GAN screening and compliance processes, including approvals, EAF collection, document retention, audit readiness, reporting accuracy, and issue escalation.
• Advance electronic ordering, customer portals, CRM, contact‑center technology, and other digital capabilities that improve the customer and employee experience.

7. Cross‑Functional Leadership & Organizational Influence

• Align Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Finance, Pricing, Compliance, IT, Product Management, and other functions around shared customer experience priorities and commitments.
• Drive accountability for customer‑impacting action items, facilitate decisions among stakeholders with competing priorities, and elevate barriers when commitments or service standards are at risk.
• Represent Customer Experience in executive reviews, customer meetings, quality reviews, compliance audits, ERP initiatives, new product introductions, sales programs, and business transformation projects.
• Lead through influence, sound judgment, business expertise, and data‑driven recommendations, including across teams that do not directly report to Customer Experience.
