Role Summary
The Sr. Lead, Service Aftermarket Revenue Strategy role is a central connector across teams, bringing the organization, coordination, and prioritization needed to keep many moving pieces aligned toward the same outcome. This is an individual contributor role: you'll need to flex comfortably between enabling others and diving into the work directly, acting with urgency for progress against the objective either way. Oftentimes, execution sits with cross-functional teams, so the ability to influence outcomes without direct authority is critical.
The role is two-fold:

• Oversee the big picture strategy of the Service aftermarket revenue (~80% of the role):
  • Drive and own the tools for tracking revenue progress in aggregate to steer the multi-year direction.
  • Enable and support cross-functional initiative owners through reviews or analyses to ensure consistency of rigor and approach.
  • Own or help incubate early-stage revenue initiatives while a formal business owner is being identified.
• Provide general leadership support across the broader Service Strategy & Business Insights organization (~20% of the role).

• Apply first-principles thinking to challenge legacy assumptions and resolve bottlenecks.

Owning or Incubating Early-Stage Initiatives

• When needed, push through ambiguity to directly own or incubate early-stage business cases or initiatives before a formal owner is identified.

Providing General Leadership Support across the Service Strategy & Business Insights organization (~20%)

• Ensure cross-team coordination and readiness for team meetings, executive reviews, business reviews.
• Provide ad hoc analysis and thought partnership to the leader of the Service Strategy & Business Insights team.

• Strong business acumen, with demonstrated proficiency in P&L levers and business case modeling.
• Proven ability to influence without direct authority across cross-functional teams.
• Comfortable using AI tools to rapidly build trackers, dashboards, and reporting (a technical or coding background is not required, though it's a bonus).
• Proficient in Google Workspace (Sheets, Slides).
• The majority of working hours should align with Pacific Time, with flexibility to support cross-functional team members across other US time zones as needed.
• Ability to stand, sit, or walk for 8-10 hours per day.
• Required to communicate using phone and/or e-mail.
• Ability to view, read, and interpret documents.
