This position is responsible for supporting American Honda's programs, policies and procedures of AHM automotive Export Distributors relative to Parts and Service warranty, recalls, campaigns, customer service, marketing, quality, technical inquiries and goodwill. The purpose and function of the Export Territory Manager is to ensure that distributors achieve all customer service satisfaction, fixed operations performance and business targets. The Export Territory Manager will be the Parts and Service window person for all Honda Export distributors with AHM's Regional HQ management. As such, all Parts and Service issues involving sales, technical, campaign, warranty and marketing groups will typically be initiated with the Export Territory Manager. In addition, distributor activities such as facility remodels, service level performance & analysis and new product readiness must be continually monitored.

Distributor Parts and Service Management

• Develop and review policies & procedures with all levels of management and departments at export distributors and dealers to ensure the smooth flow of all customer inquiries, parts and service processes, campaign management and performance, warranty claims, authorizations and goodwill management for all automobile products produced in North America and selected regions that distribute to AH export distributors. Ensure that various departments within the service division and departments outside of the division understand their roles and responsibilities and how they fit into our goals and objectives; seek management support in each department to ensure buy-in at the associate level; attend all AH domestic warranty meetings to voice any issues and concerns as it relates to the export market.
• Coordinate with the Export Unit Sales division to be aware of all model types, production start date and sales start date at the MTOC (model, trim, option, color) level.

Improve distributor/dealer fixed operations performance

Work closely with distributors to implement and improve performance in seven key areas:

• Sales to Service introduction
• New Owner Workshop
• End of warranty customer retention plan (Service marketing)
• Express Service
• Clean and well organized facility
• Online Service appointments
• Provide fixed operations KOIs to AHM

Obtain and analyze data and workflow processes to establish baseline performance, identify areas of opportunity and work with distributors to implement corrective actions and best practices. Establish performance targets and objectives. Monitor and report on-going performance and make adjustments as necessary to optimize and mature the process. Focus initially on Tier 1 distributors then shift to Tier 2 distributors as improvements are implemented.

Customer Service

• Using the HACE scoring process for tracking customer service levels at the distributor level, communicate scores monthly and address any areas that are below target. For areas below target, create an action plan for improvement and provide monthly "checks" until scores are at or above target. Constantly strive to improve the current process through improved systems development, cost reduction activities and customer communication.

Campaign/Recall Performance

• Track each distributor for campaign/recall management using the established process and timeline. If a distributor falls below the target, an improvement plan must be implemented and tracked until targets are met. Poor performance will not be tolerated and if targets are not met, alternative processes or changes should be discussed with Sr. Management for implementation of corrective actions.

Warranty/Goodwill Management

• Warranty and goodwill requests must be handled in a timely manner and tracked by dollar amount, number of incidences and QIC submissions. Periodic warranty audits need to be completed on an as-needed basis.

Ensure proper understanding, training and adherence to AHM warranty policies and procedures

• Work with distributor/dealer personnel to ensure proper understanding of warranty processes and procedures. Coordinate with distributor/dealer to conduct training when and where appropriate. Implement proper training modules if necessary to address shortcomings/gaps in curriculum. Track and report on-going performance.
