Our Ford Credit Core + Servicing (C+S) product team is on a mission to build unwavering confidence and loyalty in our internal agents and external customers. We envision a future where our servicing tools and processes provide complete support, enable self-sufficiency, and deliver effective, personalized service exactly when and where it's needed.

Shaping the Servicing Strategy: Work alongside key stakeholders to refine and execute the Ford Credit servicing strategy. Provide valuable input into the product roadmap, assisting with prioritization decisions and appropriate trade-offs between desired features, speed to market, and technical feasibility.
Championing Agent & Customer Experience: Directly contribute to improving critical metrics like agent efficiency, customer Net Promoter Score (NPS), and First Contact Resolution (FCR) on key initiatives, including:
• Providing a holistic customer view with relevant information to service customers efficiently and effectively, partnering with the Smart Secure Documents and Knowledge Management team to define and deliver solutions that simplify complex customer requests and educate agents on processes. User Research & Problem Solving: Proactively and creatively engage with users to uncover their underlying needs, pain points, and opportunities. Analyze these insights to identify problems and collaboratively define innovative solutions that leverage our servicing toolset.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Analyze relevant data (customer feedback, usage metrics, operational data) to inform requirements, evaluate options, make smart, decisive trade-offs, and ensure delivered value is measurable.
• Outcome Ownership: Take responsibility for defined outcomes by contributing to setting clear goals and helping measure key results that align with product and business objectives.
• Quality Assurance Support: Support the delivery process by executing functional testing and collaborating with QA engineers to ensure solutions meet requirements and quality standards.
• Ability to closely work with key stakeholders in supporting Collections strategies and outcomes.
• Ability work with 3rd party vendors in driving key initiatives.
• Manage product backlog, track KPIs, support quarterly planning processes across multiple initiatives.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and use data to drive forward.
You'll have...
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Technology, Information Systems) or equivalent practical experience or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
- General knowledge of Ford Credit operations
- Proven ability to define and document clear, concise requirements (e.g., user stories, acceptance criteria) in an agile environment
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity ("white space"), break down complex issues, generate insights from various sources (including data), and synthesize them into clear, actionable recommendations and compelling narratives.
- Exceptional communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with a track record of building strong relationships and effectively working across diverse functional teams and organizational levels.
- A curious and adaptable mindset with a strong desire to learn about new technologies, business processes, and customer behaviors.
- Evidence of being proactive, taking ownership, and working effectively both independently with minimal supervision and collaboratively as part of a team executing on a shared vision.
- Strong attention to detail, ensuring accuracy in documentation and analysis.
Even better, you may have...

- Direct experience working as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or similar role within an agile software delivery team.
- Exposure to or hands-on experience with modern product discovery and development techniques such as user story mapping, rapid prototyping, process modeling (e.g., using BPMN), or journey mapping.
