The global supply chain behind UEV must be as innovative as the platform itself. As Global Supply Manager, you’ll own the end-to-end sourcing strategy for critical vehicle spend. You’ll partner with engineering from concept through launch, using first-principles decision-making to deliver breakthrough outcomes. You will lead global supplier negotiations and structure commercial agreements that protect program timing without sacrificing cost leverage.

RESPONSIBILITIES What you'll do... * Own end-to-end sourcing strategy for critical spend areas across the UEV platform and follow-on advanced EV programs from sourcing strategy development through SOP, including supplier selection, contracting, and ongoing cost, quality, and delivery performance. * Partner with engineering from concept through launch to align sourcing strategy with technical roadmaps, design freeze milestones, and prototype-to-production transitions. Structure commercial agreements that protect program timing without ceding cost leverage. * Build first-principles should-cost models with cross-functional teams to drive a ground-up, physics-based part and system cost perspective. Use these models to set negotiation positions, evaluate quote submissions, and challenge supplier pricing line by line. * Lead make-vs-buy analysis to ensure we have a best-in-class supply chain that delivers optimal value. * Develop the supply base for resilience. Identify and qualify Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners across geographies; build dual-source and regional capacity strategies that address raw material scarcity, geopolitical risk, and an evolving global trade and tariff environment. * Drive automation across the supply chain to deliver best-in-class supply chain efficiency. Partner with suppliers to identify opportunities for process automation and robotics. * Shape the tools and processes the ADVEV supply chain runs on, including should-cost methodology, supplier and agreement management systems, and AI-enabled analytics that scale how Ford evaluates suppliers, parts, and agreements. QUALIFICATIONS You'll have... * Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, Operations Management or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience. * 5+ years of experience in supply chain management or commodity management. * Experience bringing creative negotiation skills and out-of-the-box strategy. * Strong relationship management skills with internal and external stakeholders.   Even better, you may have... * Master’s degree in Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or related field, or MBA. * Hands-on experience building and launching highly effective supply chains. * Strong written and verbal communication skills. * An eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic environment where you are part of a high performing team. * A systems approach to design and development with the desire and curiosity to strive for exceptional delivery execution and continuous improvement. * Eagerness to expand into new commodity areas as the ADVEV portfolio grows.   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!
