About the Role
As Lead After-Sales Commercial & Service Supply, you will build the commercial backbone of the service business. You will own the central logic around contract administration, service supply, costing, pricing, billing, result accounting, post-calculation and ERP requirements. You will translate technical and operational assumptions into a service model that can be quoted, delivered, measured and improved across customer hubs.
What You'll Build
A commercial service backbone: establish programme administration, contract management, service-order logic, billing and result accounting.
Repeatable contract kit: build standard service descriptions, commercial positions, adaptation rules and decision boundaries for customer programmes; the Head of After Sales & Service owns the strategic service promise and release.
Costing and pricing model: define cost elements, rates, risk and margin logic across workshop, field, remote support, parts and availability-related commitments.
Service-supply system: design assortment, stocking, replenishment, exchange-pool, returns and reverse-logistics logic together with Procurement, Production & Logistics and the customer hubs.
Export-compliant service fulfilment: act as process owner for the Export Control interface across parts, software, technical support, personnel, tools, test equipment and returns; Export Control remains the specialist approval authority.
A service-business ERP foundation: define requirements for contracts, service orders as cost carriers, technical objects, warranty separation, customer stock and service-related master data.
Concurrent costing and post-calculation loop: compare plan and actuals by service order and catalogue position, explain deviations and feed evidence back into rates, prices and risk assumptions.
A measurable and scalable commercial operation: make margin, working capital, servicesupply performance and customer commitments visible and transferable to future hubs.
What You Bring
Several years of experience in service commercialisation, after-sales, service operations, programme administration, controlling or supply-chain-related roles for complex products.
Strong practical experience with costing, pricing, contract administration, billing, result accounting or service ERP design.
A sound understanding of spare-parts planning, inventory management, replenishment, returns and reverse logistics.
The ability to connect commercial commitments with operational reality, including lead times, repair concepts, stock levels, customer expectations and risk.
Experience working across Key Account, Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Logistics, Finance, IT or Export Control.
High data and process discipline, with the judgement to balance urgency, margin, working capital and compliance.
A hands-on, build-oriented leadership style and the ability to establish commercial structure where processes are still evolving.
