· Monitor finished-goods and relevant work-in-process inventory and coordinate cross-functional actions to prevent customer disruption, including shortage management, allocation, recovery plans, and escalation.
· Coordinate shipment priorities and transportation actions with Planning, Production, Shipping, Logistics, and Materials. Recommend expedites or premium freight when required and support documentation of cause, approval, and cost responsibility.
· Provide timely, accurate customer communication on order status, delivery commitments, recovery timing, and open issues. Ensure commitments are documented and followed through to closure.
· Investigate delivery, order, pricing, invoicing, return, and credit issues with Finance, Sales, Quality, Engineering, and Operations; coordinate corrective action and communicate resolution.
· Manage return material authorization and related transactions in accordance with established approval, quality, financial, and customer requirements.
· Maintain account records, customer-specific requirements, routing instructions, packaging or labeling information, contact lists, and documented standard work.
· Support new product launches, engineering changes, phase-ins/phase-outs, customer onboarding, and changes in customer systems or procedures by coordinating data readiness and communication.
· Analyze recurring service issues and performance trends, identify root causes with cross-functional partners, and implement improvements that strengthen delivery reliability and customer experience.
· Support customer service metrics and operating reviews, including delivery performance, backlog, past-due orders, expedites, premium freight, response time, and issue closure.
· Serve as an escalation resource and subject-matter expert for complex account or system issues; train colleagues on customer requirements, systems, and standard work as needed.
· Protect confidential customer and company information and comply with quality, safety, trade compliance, cybersecurity, record-retention, and internal-control requirements applicable to the role.
· Perform other related duties and support business continuity coverage as assigned.
Decision Making and Working Relationships

· Works closely with Materials Planning, Production, Shipping and Receiving, Logistics, Quality, Finance, Sales, Engineering, Program Management, Purchasing, and IT.
