• Maintain strong day-to-day working relationships with UK Service Delivery, Repairs, Logistics, Sales/TAM and Finance teams to ensure European customer issues are progressed efficiently.
• Use German as the primary customer-facing language and English as the working language for internal documentation, technical escalation and collaboration with UK teams.
• Maintain local process documentation and support continuity so routine service and logistics activity can be covered during absence or peak demand.
• Support local office operational tasks that are appropriate to the role and elevate facilities, health and safety, legal, employment or contractual matters to the EU Service & Operations Manager.
