About the Role

Enphase is seeking an Operations Manager to join our Services Business Unit in Bangalore, India. You will run day-to-day order-to-fulfillment and field service delivery across the United States, Europe, and Australia, with a strong focus on workforce management capacity planning, skills-based scheduling, real-time dispatch, and a relentless emphasis on a one-visit fix (first-time-right). Your role is to operationalize programs such as Legacy MI to the latest compatible MI upgrades, third-party-to-Enphase migrations, Battery Attach, Enphase Care/Care Plus/Care Fleet, On-Demand Services, SPWR monitoring upgrades, gateway/modem replacements, and commissioning. You will coordinate service-parts availability with Supply Chain, but your center of gravity is dispatch excellence, first-time-right quality, and technician productivity. You’ll also own a 6-quarter (6Q) rolling forecast for work orders and service parts, publishing it to Sales Ops and reconciling with Finance, and focus on booked and recognized revenue.

What You Will Do

Workforce Management & Dispatch: Own skills-based scheduling, shift planning, routing, and real-time dispatch for FSTs and partner installers; improve utilization, schedule adherence, and travel time.
One-Visit Fix Program: Drive pre-visit triage (telemetry, photos, customer interview), compatibility checks, job-kit confirmation, permit readiness, and site prerequisites so jobs finish in one visit; implement checklists and quality gates.
Recognized revenue acceleration (Care & subscriptions): Increase recognized revenue by raising completion rates of scheduled site visits (GAAP recognition on service completion), expanding remote resolution where appropriate to avoid truck rolls, and lifting first-time-right for Enphase Care and related subscription services.
GTM readiness for new products: Partner with Hardware PM, Services PM, and Marketing Program Manager to codify GTM operational readiness capacity plans, SOPs, job-kits, SLAs, training, and dashboards so Ops can support and deliver from day one.
Capacity Planning: Build regional capacity models (US/EU/AU) by skill and partner; plan overtime/backup crews; align hiring/partner onboarding to forecasted demand.
Revenue Planning/Tracking: Tracking booked revenue and recognized revenue, focusing on turning booked revenue to recognized revenue, getting paid on B2B orders, and reducing cycle time.
Demand & Supply Planning: Own a rolling 6Q forecast (units/revenue) for upgrade SKUs, service parts, and On-Demand work orders; run monthly S&OP; publish to Sales Ops and reconcile with Finance (budget/outlook, COGS, cost-to-serve, working capital).
Inventory & Parts Readiness: Define standard job-kit BOMs per service; set min/max and substitution rules with Supply Chain; stage parts to depots/technicians to minimize stockouts and repeat visits.
On-Demand Services Operations: Stand up quoting site survey permit (as required) install close-out workflows; coordinate SolarGraf design packages and AHJ handoffs.
SLA Management & Escalations: Hit and improve SLAs for appointment OTIF (On-Time, In-Full), arrival windows, and resolution time; own backlog aging, no-show reduction, and red-carpet escalations.
Data Integrity & Systems: Keep Salesforce Field Service/CRM, ERP, eStore, and scheduling systems synchronized; define status codes and handoffs; own root-cause fixes.
Quality, Training & Playbooks: Maintain SOPs, FST work instructions, safety gates; run ride-alongs/QA audits; close the loop with Product/Services PMs on recurring issues.
Continuous Improvement: Lead RCAs and kaizen events; instrument dashboards; prioritize automation and reuse of existing processes to keep ops simple and scalable.
AI-Assisted Operations: Use Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT to triage backlogs, flag SLA risk, draft SOPs/daily briefs, summarize incident RCAs, and propose schedule/capacity scenarios within privacy/security guardrails and with human review.
