Job description

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world – together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

Do you believe data tells the real story? We do! Redefining mobility requires quality data, secure data access, robust privacy controls, and automated governance frameworks that thousands of global users can rely on every day. That's where Global Data Insight & Analytics (GDI&A) makes an impact. We build the enterprise-wide data foundation that enables compliance-first access to critical information, empowering leadership and business units to act with confidence. Join us and use your product management expertise and technical acumen to drive secure, scalable, and compliant data outcomes at global scale.

We are seeking an experienced professional to own the product lifecycle for our core data-sharing and compliance platforms within the GDI&A Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) organization. As the Product Manager for Data Access, Privacy, and Governance, you will serve as the critical bridge between engineering, business units, and the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) to ensure our data products are secure, compliant, and highly performant. This role requires a strong technical background and demonstrated experience in data platform product management, identity and access management (IAM), privacy governance, and cloud-native architectures.

Responsibilities include the end-to-end ownership of product strategy, requirements authoring, and agile delivery execution, from regulatory mandate through production release, working within mixed-skill teams and in close partnership with engineers, legal counsel, privacy officers, and senior business stakeholders. By leveraging deep technical familiarity and a compliance-first product mindset, you will drive scalable platform capabilities that protect Ford's data assets, enable seamless access provisioning, and deliver measurable business value at scale.
