## Description

We're looking for a seasoned leader to join our Interior Systems Management team. As an Interior Systems Management Group Lead, you'll oversee a team of System Managers who are embedded in specific vehicle programs. Your primary mission will be to standardize 'how' the team works, ensure that System Managers are executing their RASIC responsibilities with high discipline, and strategically balance the engineering workload across the portfolio of current and future vehicle programs.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Directly managing, mentoring, and developing a team of System Managers

- Conducting performance evaluations and providing technical coaching to ensure System Managers effectively lead their respective vehicle lines (Seats, Restraints, Cockpit, and Trim)

- Fostering a culture of accountability regarding system-level metrics (cost, weight, and timing)

You'll also be responsible for ensuring all System Managers maintain strict discipline to Ford's internal processes, including the Product Development Process (PDP), Tooling Kick-Off (TKO) glidepaths, and Business Performance Reviews (BPR). Additionally, you'll audit the 'subsystem-level views' provided by System Managers to ensure consistency in how data is rolled up and reported to the SET Leaders.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to analyze the complexity and timing of upcoming vehicle programs to assign System Managers effectively. You'll also balance the team's bandwidth between 'Current' programs (maintenance and launch) and 'New' programs (early-stage architecture and FEDE setup).

If you're a seasoned leader with a passion for automotive interior systems, we want to hear from you!
