## Description

We are seeking an innovative challenge? Ford's new Technology Platform Programs (TPP) team is reimagining vehicle electrical architecture and software platforms, pivoting to a streamlined, scalable, platform-first strategy, and we need your talent to drive this vision.

At Ford, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We are looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to orchestrate and lead high-impact initiatives across our connected vehicle, cloud, and mobile ecosystem.

You will operate at the intersection of complex engineering and strategic delivery, navigating ambiguity to drive long-term engineering strategy and measurable improvements in customer experience.

**Responsibilities:**

- Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-year programs spanning mobile apps, cloud applications / infrastructure, and connected vehicle experiences.

- Contribute to strategic planning and resource orchestration across the portfolio; proactively identify structural constraints and optimize capacity against priorities.

- Leverage a deep understanding of cloud/mobile/vehicle interdependencies to shape technical direction, assess engineering trade-offs, and guide teams through complex design decisions.

- Build consensus across diverse global teams and senior leadership. Establish rigorous scope-control processes and manage the impact of changes on the program baseline.

- Establish proactive risk-mitigation systems and governance frameworks. Actively manage identified risks, driving impediments to closure. Define and track Technical Success Metrics (KPIs/QoS) to drive data-based improvements and engineering excellence.

- Influence without direct authority across software systems and divisions. Drive a culture of continuous improvement, blameless risk escalation, and team-level mentoring.

- Detect trends across data sets to frame high-impact decisions and resolve interdependency challenges that span multiple software domains.

**Qualifications:**

- Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.

- 8+ years of experience in technical program management within highly complex systems, including multiple successful release cycles of consumer-facing software at scale.

- 6+ years of experience leading cross-functional projects across Cloud, Mobile, or Embedded systems.

- Deep experience with Agile methodologies and enterprise-level project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence).

- Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both engineering teams and non-technical executive stakeholders.

**Even better, you may have:**

- Domain Depth: Expertise in cloud-native architectures, API management, and consumer-facing mobile apps.

- Strategic Acumen: Ability to thrive in unstructured environments and independently manipulate scope-cost-time-quality levers to achieve goals.

- Data-Driven: Strong analytical skills with experience leveraging large volumes of data to identify opportunities in planning or delivery.

- Leadership: Experience implementing organizational processes (PDCA, Retros) and mentoring other TPMs or engineers.

- Customer Obsession: Demonstrated pattern of developing empathy for the end-user to inform delivery plans.
