Responsibilities
Identify and manage complex technical integration points across the Industrial System (PD, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing). Ensure that "technology enables process" by understanding the data hand-offs between domains
Support PI Planning by translating high-level business objectives into technical requirements and managing cross-functional technical dependencies
Align program achievements to the overarching strategic roadmap, driving the development and deployment of process changes and technical enablers
Proactively engage with engineering and IT teams to resolve hurdles and roadblocks. You are expected to "dive deep" into the technical root causes of delays rather than just reporting status
Drive issue and risk resolution at the cross-functional L3 level, using data-driven insights to predict and mitigate technical bottlenecks
Ensure that the Synergy Program’s technical solutions are scalable, sustainable, and aligned with Ford’s modernization goals (e.g., Cloud, MDM, and 3DX)
