Supply Chain Resilience Lead

Supply Chain Resilience Lead

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.

In this position...

This role will focus on three main areas: Learning, Strategizing, Delivering. Each Supply Chain vulnerability has a unique business problem that requires thinking through "How do we best solve this to protect Ford?". Each day is a new "case study" in Supply Chain continuity. Our team jointly works a strategy using modeling we're creating through our internal feedback loops & learning. The result will be driving approval and launch of our resilience plans to protect Ford.

This role has regular exposure to senior leadership within Ford. Candidates are expected to be comfortable presenting complex material in a concise, data-driven way and should have aspirations for upward mobility within Ford.

The Supply Chain Resilience Lead will develop and execute innovative strategies to reduce global supply chain risk and safeguard production of Ford's cutting-edge trucks and SUVs.

What you'll do...

• Develop and present data-driven resilience strategies (e.g., dual sourcing, localization, capacity expansion) to executive leadership.

• Lead identification and mitigation of global supply chain risks, including Tier 1/Tier 2 dependencies, single-source exposure, and geopolitical constraints.

• Drive value stream mapping (VSM) to improve sub-tier visibility and uncover systemic risks.

• Manage resilience governance, including cross-functional forums, KPI scorecards, and prioritization of critical supply risks.

• Evaluate financial trade-offs of mitigation strategies, including CapEx, tooling, and cost-of-inaction analyses.

• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Finance, and Supplier Technical teams to execute de-risking plans and ensure quality/validation compliance.

• Lead supplier engagement on capacity, safety stock ("banking"), and transition strategies.
