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?

Launched in 2023, Integrated Services creates and markets new customer experiences by integrating hardware, software and services across Ford Blue, Model e and Ford Pro. These products and services allow Ford's retail and commercial customers to customize their vehicles like never before with OTA (over-the-air)-driven experiences that grow better over time. Ford is developing leadership at the forefront of connected, digital platforms that will revolutionize every aspect of how vehicles function, the way people interact with them, and the value those vehicles provide.

In this position...

The BlueCruise Product team is looking for a Sr. Product Manager focused on developing and executing BlueCruise’s product strategy by creating and maintaining product and feature roadmaps, defining product goals, and keeping us ahead of the competition.

What you'll do...

• Define the BlueCruise product roadmap, including launch/roll-out strategy to scale our features, and develop and maintain a feature backlog

• Translate our customers’ needs into clearly defined technical requirements backed by data and comprehensive industry knowledge

• Measure our success and improve our products using principled methods and metrics

• Lead our benchmarking by understanding the competitive landscape and finding ways to differentiate ourselves

• Serve as a cross-functional partner that bridges engineering, business, and marketing to drive product decisions

• Find innovative ways to accelerate our development, reduce risk, and improve the overall product experience; work with the company to implement these initiatives and fully realize them

You'll have...

• Bachelor’s Degree

• Strong data analysis skills: the ideal candidate will be able to reason data into implications

• 5+ years of experience

• Demonstrated ability to achieve strategic goals in an innovative and fast-paced environment, and to evolve product strategy based on research, data and industry trends

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

• Strong leadership and communication skills to manage stakeholders across the organization, including strong documentation skills

• A deep passion for your customers, their needs, and for building/shipping products to meet these needs

• Demonstrated effectiveness in complex organizations

Even better, you may have...

• Domain knowledge in advanced driving systems or in-vehicle infotainment strongly preferred

• Prior experience in Product Management preferred

• Bachelor’s Degree in computer science, engineering, physics, or a related field.

• The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the software systems underpinning our advanced driving features or the willingness and ability to learn them quickly.

You 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!

As 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? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder…or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
