Product & Program Definition Specialist
Ford Motor Company · Dearborn
In this position...
A highly capable and versatile individual, often described as a "jack of all trades," to operate just below leadership within the Lean Product Development (LPD) program. This role focuses on hands-on execution, driving initiatives, and delivering key enablers by bridging technical and business understanding.
This role is critical for the Ford+ Live PD initiative, moving beyond traditional consulting to direct delivery. The individual will be a "doer" responsible for the "depth of the work" and "quantification," not merely task planning. They will integrate across various teams, including the data team, and articulate complex concepts related to data, processes, solutions, and APIs. This position requires someone who can "poke holes" in problems, structure them logically, and contribute significantly to the program's vision by identifying opportunities and building tangible solutions.
