Job Description

In this position…

This role offers a unique opportunity to tackle the end-to-end lifecycle of Model e’s most critical strategic initiatives — from initial problem-solving to operational rollout.

This role will involve strategic planning, market analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure our strategies align with market demands and contribute to company growth. This position is ideal for a strategic thinker and hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Work Location and Hybrid Model:

At Ford, we believe that working together in person accelerates our transformation into a more dynamic and innovative company. This position follows our hybrid work pattern:

  • On-Site: Four days per week at your assigned Ford facility.
  • Remote: One day per week optional remote work.

This role is location-agnostic across our primary innovation hubs. The successful candidate may choose to be based out of one of the following locations:

  • Communicate Effectively and Persuasively: Prepare and present strategic insights and recommendations to senior management and stakeholders, ensuring alignment with corporate goals.
  • Check & Act: Monitor and respond to industry trends, regulatory changes, and technological advancements to ensure our strategies remain competitive and compliant. Develop metrics and KPIs to track the performance of strategic initiatives and inform necessary adjustments.
