In this position...
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. You’ll also play
a central role in one of the most complex challenges facing the industry today:
designing a supply chain that is resilient to geopolitical risk and compliant
with a rapidly evolving global trade and tariff environment.
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.
