Manage a team of 5-7 Area Managers

Manage overall relationships between Ford Vehicle Remarketing, RAV team, DVO and Auction partners

Ensure achievement of key business objectives including maximizing net revenue, minimizing inventory carrying costs, profit opportunities, and waste elimination

Audit auction operations to ensure $4-10B in company assets are properly managed, with expenses and fees correctly allocated per Contracts and Ford to Auction Standards

Drive identification and action plans for underperforming auctions

Willingness to travel 60-70% to auction locations within assigned region

You'll have...

Bachelors or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

5+ years of relevant experience in auction/remarketing, fleet management, and/or broader operations management (any combination qualifies)

Strong leadership skills with proven people/team management experience - this is a top priority for this role

Strong relationship management skills - ability to build and maintain trust with vendor staff, auction partners, and dealers

Strong organizational and decision-making skills

Ability to present business cases and strategy with data and sound rationale

Willingness to relocate for future advancement within the department and company (optional, based on candidate goals)

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
