Job Description
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, we’re all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?
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…
We offer a chance to join a new "skunk works" group at Ford on a mission to completely change how electric vehicles are made. We are a small, agile team operating with a high level of autonomy to develop the UEV (Universal Electrification Vehicle) platform—the key to delivering Ford's next-gen, affordable EV.
The Best of Both Worlds: The speed, autonomy, and impact of a startup, backed by the resources and legacy of Ford.
Unprecedented Impact: Your work won't just optimize a spreadsheet; it will directly shape the financial success of the most critical product in Ford's modern history and help define the future of the American auto industry.
A Masterclass in Business: Get a front-row seat to building a multi-billion dollar business within a business. Master the complexities of an EV P&L from R&D to production, a skillset that is invaluable and rare.
A Mission-Driven Culture: Join a hand-picked, high-performing team that is energized by the challenge and united by the goal of making history.
This is a rare opportunity to help reinvent a 125-year-old American icon from the inside, solve one of the most exciting problems in the automotive industry, and make the world a greener place.

- Comfortable with Ambiguity: You excel in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where the path isn't always clear and you're empowered to help chart it.
- Financial Acumen: You have expert-level proficiency with complex financial modeling and Excel. You can build, but you can also simplify.
- Eager to Learn: You have a deep curiosity to learn the intricate financial levers of the automotive industry and a passion for our mission.
