• Support Sales in developing RFP/RFI responses for new and renewal DDS contracts, with a focus on accretive margin and sustainable revenue growth.

• Lead DDS customer success for strategic accounts, including structured monthly and quarterly business reviews that reinforce retention, renewal health, and instrument uptime performance.

• Establish and manage KPIs across instrument uptime, reporting completion, service responsiveness, issue aging, customer satisfaction, and renewal health; use performance data to drive continuous improvement.

• Manage Field Service Partner (FSP) performance against defined operating expectations, documentation standards, service quality targets, and cost controls to improve uptime and reduce unnecessary repeat visits.

• Lead, coach, and develop DDS and commercial service associates by clarifying roles, decision rights, daily management routines, and measurable performance expectations.

• Build standard work for intake, quoting, contract handoffs, service coordination, customer communication, issue escalation, and project closeout to scale consistent, repeatable service delivery.

• Partner with Finance to establish project-level P&L visibility and consistent cost allocation across headcount, FSP spend, software and data hosting, cross-charges, and rental fleet costs.

• Coordinate with the open channel manufacturing cell, McCrometer Operations, and the Loveland facility to align DDS rental fleet demand planning, inventory levels, return flow, repair priorities, and delivery commitments.
