Group Product Manager, Transformation and Product Ops

Location: United States; Remote

Launched in 2023, Integrated Services creates and markets new customer experiences by integrating hardware, software and services across Ford Blue, Model e and Ford Pro. These products and services allow Ford's retail and commercial customers to customize their vehicles like never before with OTA (over-the-air)-driven experiences that grow better over time. Ford is developing leadership at the forefront of connected, digital platforms that will revolutionize every aspect of how vehicles function, the way people interact with them, and the value those vehicles provide.

In this position...

As the Group Product Manager, Product Operations and Transformation within Ford Pro Intelligence, you will own one of the most important shifts in how the organization works. To keep its software advantage compounding, Ford Pro is evolving how its product organization plans, operates, and delivers, moving toward a more decentralized and accountable operating model supported by modern ways of working. The aim is to let smaller, empowered teams ship real value faster, while leadership keeps a clear view of progress and tradeoffs across the portfolio. This role makes that shift real on the ground. You will own the new operating model and lead the rhythms that make it stick, build and lead a matrixed product operations function, and set the cadence, metrics, and tooling standards the organization requires. You will also manage the squad(s) that build the shared tools and datasets that no single small team could build on its own.

You will get teams trained, make sure the new process is understood and followed, surface what is working and what is not, and share what works across pods. At the same time, you will give leadership the deliverables a decentralized organization needs, including a coherent view of the roadmap, trustworthy metrics, visible dependencies, and clear executive readouts. This is a high ownership leadership role for someone who sets direction in ambiguity, earns influence by enabling senior product and engineering leaders rather than coordinating or chasing them, and stays close to the detail. Done well, it is the difference between a transformation that sticks and one that fades back to the old way of working.
