Working closely with internal teams, distributors, and local organizations, you will contribute to customer retention, sell-out growth, customer satisfaction, and the development of indirect customer opportunities.

• Develop the customer pipeline: Identify and engage new indirect customers through cold calling, email outreach, and marketing-generated leads, while managing opportunities to increase customer engagement and business potential.
• Support customer development: Identify opportunities to move customers from indirect to direct relationships and work with the Team Leader and local organization to evaluate and progress these opportunities.
• Build strong customer relationships: Deliver a positive customer experience through proactive follow-up, active listening, empathy, and effective virtual communication, while collaborating with internal teams and distributors to resolve customer needs.

What We're Looking For

• Education and relevant experience: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, or a related field, with previous experience in customer engagement, customer service, sales, telemarketing, teleselling, or a similar customer-facing environment. Experience in the aftermarket or tire industry is desirable.
• Customer and commercial mindset: Strong understanding of customer needs, buying behavior, Share of Business, and loyalty drivers, with the ability to identify opportunities that contribute to customer retention, increased Goodyear Share of Business, and customer engagement.
• Digital and CRM capabilities: Experience with account and contact management and CRM platforms such as Salesforce, with the ability to effectively use loyalty platforms, customer databases, mailing tools, and digital communication channels while maintaining accurate customer information.
• Data and performance orientation: Strong data fluency, including advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with the ability to analyze customer and business data, track performance, identify opportunities, and contribute to points usage and customer progression through the Loyalty Platform tier system.
• Communication and influencing skills: Excellent active listening, communication, empathy, and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships virtually, promote Goodyear products and initiatives, and contribute to customer satisfaction and NPS improvements.
