Your performance will be measured through Delivery Performance, CTS, Customer Satisfaction, Claim Resolution, and contribution to Forecast Accuracy, Bias, and Sales Stability KPIs.

Drive swift and complete resolution of QM notifications and provide timely and transparent feedback to customers. Maintain a good understanding of all relevant Order-to-Cash areas (logistics claims, returns, billing, pricing).
