Job Description
Engineering Program Manager driving structured delivery in a fast-paced environment at Ford Motor Company. Shaping priorities and aligning cross-functional teams to ensure execution and management of risks.
Responsibilities:
- Own the domain “system of delivery” and ensure the domain’s work is focused on the most important outcomes, aligned to VC&M strategy, and planned/governed consistently.
- Establish the structures and mechanisms that enable predictable delivery (backlog structure, planning artifacts, governance cadence, reporting hygiene).
- Challenge and de-prioritize work that does not support the strategy or agreed priorities (in partnership with Technical Program Manager (TPM), Product, and VC&M leadership).
- Own the domain backlog structure, PI planning, and the domain delivery plan (scope, milestones, dependencies), within the strategic frame set by TPMs and leadership.
- Prioritize within the domain, with Engineering Manager input, to ensure capacity is focused on the highest-value work.
- Drive clarity for cross-team sequencing and integration planning so commitments are realistic and well-understood.
- Maintain accurate internal risk and dependency registers; actively drive resolution, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.
- Keep Atlassian artifacts and dashboards up to date so domain and program status is trustworthy and comparable across VC&M.
- Provide clear, timely communications to stakeholders on progress, risks, and changes.
- Ensure work has a clear acceptance criteria and a defined value/outcome.
- At completion, validate with Engineering and TPMs whether acceptance criteria were met and whether the intended value was delivered.
- Participate and provide key inputs to the cross-functional work intake discovery process; cascade with context to all impacted functions within your domain.
- Apply and help evolve common VC&M standards for discovery, planning, and delivery.
- Ensure the domain "plugs into" the broader VC&M operating model using shared templates and cadences.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in software/services delivery environments (product/platform/feature delivery).
- 3+ years of experience coordinating cross-functional work across multiple disciplines (engineering, program, product, design, QA/test, systems, operations, etc.).
- 3+ years of experience with delivery tooling (e.g., Atlassian Suite, Miro) and disciplined delivery hygiene (plans, dashboards, dependency tracking).
- 3+ years of experience operating in scaled delivery models (PI planning, multi-team roadmapping, portfolio governance).
- 3+ years of experience defining and implementing standards/templates that improve consistency across teams.
- Ability to synthesize complex information for diverse audiences, ranging from high-level executive briefings that drive decision-making to granular technical documentation for engineering execution.
Benefits:
- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
- Tuition assistance
- Established and active employee resource groups
- Paid time off for individual and team community service
