Job Description

Position Overview

As the Associate Director of Digital Solutions , you will serve as a strategic orchestrator at the intersection of technology, commercial strategy, and operational excellence. You will lead the digital transformation of three critical business pillars: Warranty Digital Strategy, AI-Driven Parts Pricing, and Dealer Management System (DMS) Integration Strategy.

This is not a traditional IT role; it is a high-impact leadership position requiring a "Strategic Integrator" who can navigate complex R&D environments while aligning with Commercial Go-To-Market (GTM) goals. You will lead a multidisciplinary team of developers and data scientists to build predictive models and seamless digital experiences that reduce costs, optimize revenue, and strengthen our dealer ecosystem within the commercial trucking industry.

Why Join Us?

This role offers the unique opportunity to manage high-level business risk in an environment where uncertainty is viewed as an opportunity. You will have the autonomy to build a "win-win" ecosystem for one of the most critical players in the commercial transport industry, leveraging the latest in AI and digital platform technology.

2. AI-Driven Parts Pricing Ecosystem

• Predictive Innovation: Lead the implementation of advanced AI/ML suites (including Syncron) to benchmark parts pricing against competitors and identify optimal market "sweet spots."
• Ecosystem Integration: Ensure that AI-driven pricing logic is not siloed, but fully integrated into the broader dealer and customer digital ecosystems.
• Commercial Alignment: Work directly with Retail and Wholesale Parts Business teams to gain approval for pricing strategies and ensure alignment with GTM objectives.

3. DMS Integration & GTM Strategy

• Strategic Partnerships: Move beyond technical execution to define the long-term Go-To-Market strategy and partnership models with Dealer Management System (DMS) providers.
• Synergy Identification: Analyze functional overlaps between internal service ecosystems and external DMS platforms to develop "win-win" integration proposals.
• Workflow Optimization: Oversee the deployment of integrations that simplify dealer workflows and enhance data transparency.

4. Leadership & Technical Governance

• Team Management: Lead and mentor a diverse team, including software developers and data scientists, fostering a culture of risk-informed innovation.
• Platform Oversight: Provide strategic direction for enterprise platforms such as Pega and Syncron.
• Stakeholder Management: Present complex digital roadmaps to executive leadership and commercial stakeholders, translating technical milestones into business value.
