We are currently looking for a Senior Planner, Dealer Field Representative (Aftersales), to join our team in California . This is a Field Dealer Contact position; you must reside in the state of California and be able to travel up to 75% of the time.

Responsible for operating the daily command actions — preparing the at-risk list, running triage, tracking service-level alerts, and driving cases through to relief with the field, dealers, and internal partners. Serves as a senior point of contact for escalated vehicle and customer issues.

Maintains the recovery playbooks, policies, programs, hand-off records, and shared dashboard content that keep the command center accurate and actionable and identifies patterns that should become prevention actions.

A Day in the Life:

Daily Command Center Operations

• Prepares and publishes the daily at-risk list and the materials that drive the command center meeting.

• Runs triage on new and escalating cases, applying agreed prioritization and response standards.

• Tracks service-level alerts, open actions, and owner commitments through to closure.

• Escalates cases that are at risk of missing time-to-relief targets.

Field Hand-Off & Case Follow-Through

• Executes the hand-off protocol into the field organization and confirms records are complete and accurate.

• Coordinates with the WX field support team, internal cross-functional teams, field, and, when appropriate, dealers’ teams to move issues toward resolution.

• Applies recovery playbooks consistently and recommends updates when they no longer fit the issue.

• Supports customer postmortems and dealer retrospectives with accurate case history and brings forward learnings and recommendations that can be applied to cases in California and rest of the nation.

Reporting, Insight & Prevention

• Maintains the shared dashboard content and reports on time-to-relief, at-risk volume and trend, detection lead time, and hand-off completion.

• Identifies recurring issue patterns and raises them for root-cause and prevention action.

• Documents operating procedures and contributes to continuous improvement of the daily operations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partners with Quality/TCS, Techline, Aftersales Supply Chain Management, Customer Care, Field, and dealer teams on active issues.

• Works with the Integration & Analytics team to improve the data, scoring, and dashboards the command center depends on.

• Supports the Senior Manager with performance reporting, risk identification, and improvement recommendations.
