S&L Transformation Manager
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day roll up our sleeves and build a better world together. At Ford were all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves
PS&L is undergoing a massive transformation driven by technology renewal deep collaboration with Sales and an unrelenting march toward waste elimination in all its forms. The work will be fast paced in an unstructured environment where the path forward needs to be charted and driven by the team. It will require significant time investment this will not be a work the in box position.
This position is a located in Livonia MI and is a hybrid role.
Responsibilities
In this role:
As we quickly accelerate the pace of change were finding we need to stand up a team that can quickly on board various projects define the challenge at hand turn data into information (the story the data tells) outline potential solutions and test with spy pilots that can be automated/mainlined in parallel.
We require much more than the classic Project Manager/PMO skillset we need people that are comfortable learning & logging into systems testing working with large datasets talking to customers and working on multiple projects at a time in white spaces. We need arms and legs capable of doing the work and driving the progress including at the LL5/6 level (this will be a small team likely with Matrix Reporting and everyone at every level will be involved in hands on work).
Being successful in this role will require the unique ability to know what needs to be done have the skills to complete the work and use those skills to blend completing the work and teaching the team to raise up the next Transformation will require setting a pace that everyone will say is impossible to keep (yet weve shown time and time again actually is possible). This by design requires the highest levels of Drive for Results coupled with the ability to collaborate across teams in such a way that the entire team moves forward (not just one individual).
Potential projects/work to be done include:
- Launching a Global RIM Solution

- Rolling out a Service First Policy in coordination with Production
- Building out a process to stop creating new part numbers when we change Sellpack
- Managing RFQs and vendor selection
- Deep data analysis / identifying value pools based on analytics
The scope of these projects is clearly varied they arent all in the same functional area and they dont all rely on the same some this is intimidating for others its invigorating!
