  • Safety & Quality: Champion safety, quality, and efficiency in every repair. Build and enforce procedures for working on high-voltage, battery, and actuated systems.
  • Customer Experience: Represent Figure to internal and commercial customers. Exceed their expectations, monitor service trends, and create standards and processes that raise the overall service experience.
  • Metrics & Process: Drive service KPIs including uptime, mean time to repair, first-time fix rate, cost, and parts usage. Use Lean or similar methods to make complex workflows run better.
