The role of the Mopar NA OE Content Programs, Trademark & Patent Manager is pivotal in driving the increased use of Original Equipment (OE) parts across insurance carriers, multi-shop operations (MSOs), and collision center groups. This position entails negotiating, managing, and implementing tailored commercial programs to boost OE parts market share over aftermarket alternatives, while also overseeing trademark and patent management related to Stellantis vehicles.
