* Prepare and present reporting materials for the DCE Senior Leadership Team and the Commonwealth of Australia (CoA), sharing clear insights into warranty performance and opportunities for improvement.
* Support ongoing improvement efforts by reviewing warranty data and helping identify areas for enhanced practices across future DCE contracts.
