We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Finance strategically partners with operations to drive outstanding business results and enhance Ford’s industry leadership. When you join us, you’ll be able to contribute financial expertise that impacts all areas of our company, including planning, manufacturing, marketing and global distribution. 

In this position...

  • Take on a leadership role within a dynamic team at the Ohio Assembly Plant (OHAP), which manufactures three commercial vehicle platforms — Econoline, Super Duty, and Medium Truck.

We're seeking an engaging, business-savvy individual who can build strong relationships with operating partners across the plant.
  • The ideal candidate thrives on modeling frequent changes to support better business decision-making, and is driven to uncover and deliver cost-saving opportunities through a continuous improvement mindset. We're looking for a change agent — someone who actively seeks out and implements new technologies to modernize how the controller's office and operating teams function. This role is on-site, as close collaboration with the production facility requires regular face-to-face engagement.

  • Lead the controller's office role in PwC Finished Vehicle and GAO audits.
  • Monitor supplier chargebacks, support recovery negotiations, and manage ad hoc business requests in a fast-paced setting.
  • Take part in Business Control Center (BCC), Plant Control Center (PCC), Department Control Center (DCC), and Zone Control Center (ZCC) reviews.
  • Perform daily floor walks to spot opportunities for improvement.
  • Research and introduce new technologies to modernize the finance function.
Qualifications

You'll have...

  • Bachelor's degree, preferably in Finance, Accounting, or engineering.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with strong analytical ability and attention to detail.
  • Solid interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.
  • Capable of managing several projects simultaneously.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel.
  • Hands-on experience with relevant systems (e.g., SAP, Power BI, SharePoint, Python, etc.).
  • Strategy and Business Case Development
  • Cost Management and Accounting
  • Teamwork and Business Partnering
  • Talent Development
