Provide strategic oversight for specialized customer programs and services led by Principal and Key Account Managers, monitoring progress toward goals and alignment with organizational priorities, including Enhanced Power Services, Rate Forecasting and Modeling, Energy Wise Plus, Building Efficiency Program, Backflow Prevention, and Gas Transportation and Interruptible Services.
Lead cross-functional collaboration with operational, engineering, financial, and customer service teams to address service barriers before they escalate and advance strategic projects.
Oversee the development, planning, prioritization, and execution of annual strategic account management initiatives, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities and measurable customer outcomes.
Monitor workload distribution, resource utilization, and service performance to improve efficiency and support the growing complexity of customer needs.
Proactively address emerging customer concerns and serve as the initial escalation point, working with the assigned Account Manager and internal partners to resolve issues and prevent them from recurring.
Lead continuous improvement efforts by identifying process enhancements, strengthening team capabilities, and implementing best practices that improve customer experience and program effectiveness.
Who You Are:
