In this position...

At Ford Motor Company, 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.

What you'll do...

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

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

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

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

Risk & Governance: 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.

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

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

You'll have...

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.

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
• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
• Tuition assistance
• Established and active employee resource groups
• Paid time off for individual and team community service
• A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
• Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.

This position is leadership level 6 and ranges from $112,680-$212,760.
