Responsibilities span serving as the primary point of contact for utility clients, defining strategic account plans and program KPIs, driving alignment across OEM operations, product, engineering, and driver support for on-time launches, escalating when programs are off track, presenting program performance and recommendations, and supporting marketing and EV driver outreach.
