📋 Description

• Own the end-to-end development of Model e’s global EV strategy through 2030, defining where Ford plays, how Ford wins, and the roadmap to get there. • Synthesize market intelligence, competitive dynamics, customer insights, and financial analysis into clear strategic choices that guide enterprise investment and resource allocation. • Build and maintain a world-class EV fact base, migrating descriptive analysis into prescriptive, data-driven decision-making that strengthens Ford's market position. • Oversee strategic planning processes at the business unit level, including portfolio prioritization, investment allocation, and long-range planning. • Translate high-level strategy into operational reality by designing and leading the execution systems that move Ford's EV business from strategic intent to measurable market outcomes. • Establish clear key performance indicators (KPIs) and accountability metrics, ensuring cross-functional execution matches strategic timelines. • Identify operational bottlenecks and implement rigorous process improvements to accelerate execution speed and efficiency. • Build, lead, and develop a high-performing, intellectually curious team of strategy and operations professionals, focusing on leading leaders rather than just individual contributors.

🎯 Requirements
