We are currently looking for a Senior Planner, Aftersales Command Center Care to join our team in California.

Responsible for operating the daily command actions — preparing the at-risk list, running triage, tracking service-level alerts, and driving cases through to relief with the field, dealers, and internal partners. Serves as a senior point of contact for escalated vehicle and customer issues.

Maintains the recovery playbooks, policies, programs, hand-off records, and shared dashboard content that keep the command center accurate and actionable and identifies patterns that should become prevention actions.

Daily Command Center Operations

- Executes the hand-off protocol into the field organization and confirms records are complete and accurate.

- Coordinates with the WX field support team, internal cross-functional teams, field, and, when appropriate, dealers’ teams to move issues toward resolution.

- Applies recovery playbooks consistently and recommends updates when they no longer fit the issue.

- Supports customer postmortems and dealer retrospectives with accurate case history and brings forward learnings and recommendations that can be applied to cases in California and rest of the nation.

Reporting, Insight & Prevention

- Maintains the shared dashboard content and reports on time-to-relief, at-risk volume and trend, detection lead time, and hand-off completion.

- Identifies recurring issue patterns and raises them for root-cause and prevention action.

- Documents operating procedures and contributes to continuous improvement of the daily operations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Partners with Quality/TCS, Techline, Aftersales Supply Chain Management, Customer Care, Field, and dealer teams on active issues.

- Works with the Integration & Analytics team to improve the data, scoring, and dashboards the command center depends on.

- Supports the Senior Manager with performance reporting, risk identification, and improvement recommendations.
