Category Implementation Buyer-Exhaust

Ford Motor Company • Dearborn, MI • 2h ago

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

The Ford Purchasing team adds critical value to the entire organization. You'll help us source the highest quality parts and services from around the globe while ensuring optimal cost and on-time delivery. You'll also contribute to establishing a robust supply chain so that we can continually produce the vehicles our customers want.

In this position...

The Exhaust purchasing group is like a family - we depend on each other, help each other out, and deliver great results!

We are looking for someone to come join this family to take on the challenges of delivering cost, quality and delivery targets for the exhaust commodity. Emissions regulations continue to change which drives the need for innovation and waste elimination in catalytic converters from both a design and cost standpoint. In this dynamic environment, you will be developing key relationships within Ford supply chain, engineering, programs and finance, as well as with our supplier partners.

What you'll do...

Be part of a team with three other experienced exhaust CI Buyers, all working together but each leading ownership over specific programs, suppliers, projects and/or regions, including:

Deliver QCDR improvement for three of the top suppliers in the company

High spend, high visibility commodities in North America and IMG regions

Implement exhaust category strategy: detail plans for strategic sourcing, negotiating, supporting design changes, and identify financial risks

Interact and create strong relationship with cross functional teams to deliver common objectives (quality, cost, delivery)

Develop sourcing timing plan for all upcoming program launches in order to allow for cost negotiations and strategic sourcing before meeting supplier on board deadlines and meeting program cost targets

Deliver all requirements of the sourcing process through new I-ERP system

Lead supplier negotiations to support 2024 priorities (TVM cost reduction commitments, end-to-end waste elimination ideas, inflation mitigation, supply continuity) and develop Action Plan to achieve those objectives

Be a team player, adapt to dynamic challenges, problem solve and deliver plans with confidence

You'll have...

Minimum

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Procurement, Business Administration or Finance OR Bachelor's degree in Engineering

5+ years of experience in direct automotive procurement and supply chain experience

Availability to work Hybrid (4 days in Dearborn & 1 day optional remote)

Great communication and collaboration skills

Desire to strengthen negotiation skills and fact-based problem solving

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

Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

Tuition assistance

Established and active employee resource groups

Paid time off for individual and team community service

A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day

Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
