You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.\nDo you believe data tells the real story? We do! Redefining mobility requires quality data, metrics and analytics, as well as insightful interpreters and analysts. That's where Global Data Insight & Analytics makes an impact. We advise leadership on business conditions, customer needs and the competitive landscape. With our support, key decision makers can act in meaningful, positive ways. Join us and use your data expertise and analytical skills to drive evidence-based, timely decision making.\nIn this position...\nThe Design, Cost & Complexity (DCC) team in Ford's Global Data, Insight & Analytics (GDI&A) organization builds data and AI products that help Ford design better vehicles at lower cost and with less complexity. Our products serve engineers, program teams, purchasing and business leaders across product development, from vehicle configuration and parts complexity to design cost, reductive design, and AI-enabled engineering tools.\nWe are a global team of product managers, engineers, data scientists and designers. We work closely with our business partners to take products to real adoption, and we increasingly build with AI at the core.\nYou will own delivery for one or more products in the DCC portfolio, depending on business priorities, and ensure they deliver measurable outcomes for real users. Your assignment may change as the portfolio evolves. Working closely with the Product Manager, you will turn vision and strategy into an executable plan, clear the path for the team, manage dependencies across engineering, IT and business partners, and make sure we prove value with users, not just in demos.\nWhat you'll do...\nOwn the delivery roadmap. Partner with the Product Manager to translate vision and strategy into quarterly plans and milestones. Keep scope, sequencing and trade-offs clear.\nDrive measurable results. Plan pilots and releases with business partners: choose users, set baselines, and track adoption, time saved and quality.\nManage cross-functional dependencies. Coordinate with leadership, subject-matter experts, program teams, IT, security and data teams. Resolve blockers before they reach the team.\nLead integration and transition planning. Plan the move from legacy tools and processes to new ways of working, including risks, cutover and change management.\nConnect the workstreams. Make sure products and components fit together as one system rather than separate projects.\nRun an effective delivery system. Facilitate planning, reviews and retrospectives. Keep work structured in Jira so visibility comes from the work itself.\nManage risk honestly. Surface risks, prototype-versus-production gaps, and schedule realities early and transparently.\nChampion adoption. Partner with users and domain experts on onboarding, feedback loops and change management.\nWork across a global team. Coordinate delivery with teammates in multiple locations, and keep work moving across time zones.\nGo deep on technical problems. Dig into complex issues to understand root causes, evaluate trade-offs, and propose solutions. Understand the product's architecture, integration points and future scalability needs well enough to spot risks early.\nImprove how we deliver. Design and champion delivery practices, frameworks and governance that make delivery more predictable and reduce overhead across teams, not just your own.\nMove between products as priorities shift. Ramp up quickly on new domains, teams and technologies.\nModel our culture. Think like a founder, move fast and learn faster, start with the user, win together, and always do the right thing.\nRun delivery AI-first\nUse AI to build and maintain plans, work breakdowns and dependency maps, and to adjust timelines as conditions change.\nUse project data and AI to spot risks, bottlenecks and schedule slips before they affect delivery.\nAutomate administrative work (meeting notes, action items, Jira updates and progress summaries) so your time goes to stakeholders, decisions and outcomes.\nUse AI to run what-if scenarios on scope, resources and trade-offs.\nApply judgment to everything AI produces, and make sure AI use is transparent, secure and ethical.\nYou'll have...\nA bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience\n3+ years in technical program management, delivery management, or a similar role delivering software products or platforms.\nExperience taking products toward production and real user adoption.\nA proven ability to lead through influence: aligning engineers, stakeholders and leaders without formal authority.\nStrong command of agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban and portfolio-level planning) and Jira.\nExperience managing complex integrations and dependencies across multiple teams and legacy systems.\nEnough technical depth to engage credibly with engineers on architecture, data flows, APIs, cloud platforms and AI/ML trade-offs, and the ability to quickly learn any technology well enough to evaluate proposed solutions and raise risks.\nHands-on use of AI tools in your own program management work.\nAbility to learn new domains quickly and become credible with subject-matter experts.\nStrong knowledge of change management principles.\nClear, candid communication with both engineers and senior leadership.\nA bias for action: you create clarity and move forward without waiting for direction.\nEven better, you may have...\nExperience delivering AI/ML-enabled products or engineering tools for technical users\nAutomotive product development experience: vehicle configuration, bills of materials and parts data, cost engineering, or complexity reduction\nExperience with resource planning or capacity modeling\nExperience in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments\nUser adoption experience\nExperience working in a global team across time zones\nYou may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!\nAs an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home?
