- Review completed warranty claims and analyse warranty data to identify trends, anomalies, and inaccuracies, presenting findings and recommendations to key stakeholders.
- Support dealer warranty audits and chargeback administration, maintaining accurate reporting and assisting in the development of the annual audit plan.
- Coordinate end-to-end workflows and stakeholder actions, ensuring issues are appropriately assigned, monitored, and resolved.
- Maintain clear communication and accurate records, ensuring outcomes are delivered in line with warranty policies, operational standards, and customer expectations.
- Lead warranty onboarding activities for new dealers, including labour rate and consumables requests, ensuring effective cost control and compliance.
- Support the delivery of warranty training in partnership with regional and technical teams, creating guidance documents, communications, and published bulletins.

- Excellent written and verbal English skills. German language skills would be an advantage.
What a Typical Week Looks Like No two weeks will be the same.
You could be reviewing escalated warranty claims with regional and claims teams, analysing warranty trends to identify process improvements, supporting dealer audits, or onboarding a new dealer partner.
You'll spend time collaborating with technical specialists and regional stakeholders to resolve complex issues, maintaining accurate records, producing guidance materials and training content, and contributing to projects that improve systems, processes, and dealer performance.
This is a dynamic role where you'll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on operational excellence, cost control, and customer satisfaction.
