STG will provide immigration and permanent residency sponsorship assistance to those candidates who need it.

Responsibilities

The Timekeeping Modernization Product Group delivers and supports critical systems for managing time, absence, and workforce management functions essential for paying hourly Ford employees. Our objective is to modernize these systems, improve long‑term sustainability by reducing technology complexity, introducing industry‑standard capabilities, and simplifying business processes. In this hybrid Project/Product Manager role, you will own the "how" while shaping the "what” driving end‑to‑end delivery of WorkForce Software (WFS) while contributing to the product vision that will modernize how Ford manages its hourly workforce. You'll leverage advanced skills in Jira, SharePoint, MS Teams, and Microsoft 365 to own delivery planning while contributing to product vision, roadmaps, and backlog management. The position requires strong attention to detail and the ability to synthesize complex information into concise updates for technical and executive audiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Management – Own end‑to‑end delivery planning, including risk, issue, and change management for modernized workforce management solutions—specifically WorkForce Software configuration. Develop detailed project plans outlining what work needs to be done, when, and by whom. Coordinate delivery timing across multiple project teams, ensuring seamless data flow between WFS, HRIS, and Payroll systems. Provide executive‑level timeline reports (e.g., Gantt charts), including parallel run schedules and system cutover plans. Follow change control management protocols for system upgrades and configuration shifts.
Product Management – Collaborate with Product Management leadership and Business Owners to understand needs, validate solutions, and translate strategic ideas into measurable specifications and requirement documentation. Contribute to product vision, strategy, and functional/non‑functional roadmaps for the Timekeeping Modernization portfolio. Own and prioritize the product backlog, ensuring success of integrated products across WFS, HRIS, and Payroll systems. Validate that sagas and epics are broken into clear, concise, complete, and testable user stories or tasks.
Communication & Governance – Drive Program and Project Governance, bridging technical developers and business‑side Timekeeping Modernization and Payroll leads. Lead L3 project status meetings and prepare support documents for L2 and L1 governance meetings, capturing notes, follow‑ups, and next steps. Assign actions and decisions on cross‑project/program dependencies, particularly regarding vendor management, third‑party software integration, data migration, and system integration milestones.
Agile Leadership & Continuous Improvement – Champion Agile methodologies and lead daily stand‑ups. Own Agile ceremony artifacts for sprint prioritization, release management, and communications. Participate in strategic roadmap discussions, stakeholder alignment sessions, and requirements prioritization.
