Ford Motor Company • Dearborn, MI • 7h ago

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?

In this position...

The Ford Supply Chain team is central to our ability to build great vehicles. As the manager for Wheel & Wheel Ornaments, your team will be responsible for the sourcing of high-quality components while driving cost, quality, and on-time delivery. You'll help shape a resilient supply chain so Ford can consistently deliver the vehicles our customers want.

What you'll do...

Lead, coach, and develop a team of Buyers to achieve program-level cost, quality, and material-efficiency targets across the full program lifecycle.

Own the supplier relationship strategy for Wheels & Wheel Ornaments, implementing a proactive engagement model to improve supplier performance, capture innovation, and mitigate commercial and operational risk.

Define and execute long-term commodity strategies for wheels and wheel ornaments that align with corporate objectives, secure sustainable supply, and maintain market competitiveness - including sourcing plans for future programs.

Partner with cross functional strategic teams to assess supply base footprint, evaluate supplier financial health, track emerging technologies and market trends, and convert insights into actionable sourcing and risk mitigation plans.

You'll have...

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, or related discipline.

Minimum of 2-years leading a team and 7+ years of strategic buying or sourcing experience.

Demonstrated expertise with purchasing systems, sourcing tools, and standard procurement procedures.

Advanced negotiation capabilities with a proven track record of creating leverage in both offensive and defensive scenarios.

Excellent persuasive written and verbal communication skills and be adept at producing proposals, reports, and plans that secure business-leader commitment.

Even better, you may have...

An energetic leadership style with a strong commitment to building and developing a high-performing team.

A disciplined and process-oriented approach that establishes sustainable governance and routine rigor to drive measurable results.

Ability to think and plan strategically at the big-picture level, applying strong organizational acumen and market awareness to identify, prioritize, and sustain focus on the organization's key objectives.

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

Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
