The Recall Program Manager also supports Analysts in coordinating service trials prior to launch and confirming the effectiveness of fixes, while reviewing and prioritizing requests for FSA-related data, such as VIN volumes, unsold units, and completion tracking.

• Lead efforts to minimize corporate warranty spend by optimizing repair procedures, part requirements and supplier costs (mailing, call center, technical instructions and refunds).
• Ensure all affected markets are considered in FSA planning, development, and launch processes. 
• Coordinate the development of the Field Review Committee monthly document package. 
• Approve or reject and prioritize special report requests for FSA data (VIN counts, un-sold vehicles, completion rates, etc)

You'll have...

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
