Retail Process Improvement Manager

The Retail Process Improvement Manager and the area sales managers within an assigned Business Center. This role translates the diagnostic outputs, root cause findings, and intervention playbooks produced centrally into BC and dealer-specific context — working directly with ASMs to ensure they understand what the data is telling them, what action it calls for, and how to have the right conversation with their dealers. The Field Coach does not manage dealers directly. They build ASM capability and accountability — ensuring the right conversations happen at the dealer level with the right frequency, quality, and follow-through. Six Field Coaches are deployed nationally, one per Business Center.
