Salary: $95,000 - $125,000 + incentive tied to incremental warranty recovery

Job purpose

The Warranty Program Manager is responsible for building, implementing, and managing a centralized warranty recovery program across a multi-OEM specialty trucking fleet. This role oversees the full warranty lifecycle for tractors, trailers, engines, and extended warranties, and serves as the primary point of accountability for all warranty recovery outcomes. The Warranty Program Manager works closely with Fleet Maintenance, Finance, dealers, and OEM representatives to ensure eligible warranty claims are identified, submitted, tracked, and recovered in a timely and accurate manner.

Key objectives (First 12–18 months)

  • Increase annual warranty recovery from minimal levels to $3–4M+ annually
  • Achieve 90%+ on-time claim submission within OEM windows
  • Reduce warranty denial rates to below 10%
  • Establish warranty recovery as a measurable financial KPI reported to executive leadership
  • Build internal capability that is not dependent on dealers to “handle warranty”

  • Escalate unresolved issues through OEM regional and corporate channels
  • Leverage fleet size and purchasing volume to improve warranty outcomes

Internal Training & Process Enforcement

  • Train maintenance leaders, foremen, and technicians on warranty-eligible failures, required documentation standards, and proper diagnostic and failure code selection
  • Establish “warranty champions” at major terminals (foreman or lead tech per location)
  • Ensure part retention, photo requirements, and OEM procedures are followed
  • Introduce and enforce RO Quality Gate – incomplete documentation = returned RO

Financial Reporting & Metrics

  • Produce monthly warranty performance reports for executive leadership including dollars recovered by OEM and asset class, recovery per truck/trailer, denial rates and root causes, and claim cycle times and aging
  • Partner with Finance to align on GL treatment, accruals, and credit memo reconciliation
  • Identify trends and systemic issues impacting warranty eligibility or recovery
