In addition, E-Team members are responsible for identifying patterns, creating, and sharing product issues and resolutions, including service information feedback, preliminary service information, and case-closing resolutions.
This role partners closely with Brand Quality, Engineering, and cross-functional business partners to identify and resolve current and launch-related product issues.

  • Expert knowledge of TAC ETA processes and a strong understanding of major automotive systems, diagnostic practices, and escalation workflows.
  • Ability to maintain technical certifications.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to adapt communication to the audience and present effectively to leadership and cross-functional partners.
  • Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess multiple factors, diagnostic information, and in-depth research.
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage priorities effectively.
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to build credibility, align stakeholders, and drive decisions across multiple functions.
  • Proven ability to mentor, coach, and develop others in diagnostic approach, escalation handling, and problem resolution.
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment and work independently or collaboratively with team members to drive resolution.
  • Ability to balance tactical case support with strategic leadership responsibilities, including trend identification, process improvement, and organizational alignment.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal guidance and exercise judgment within defined procedures and broad guidelines.
