You'll also be creating / working at scale. Every day, Ford's vehicles and services support millions of people worldwide. So, at Ford, we're not just inventing the future; we're operationalizing it to help everyone improve their lives.

The Position

We're looking for an inspiring Sr. Director of Product Design to lead, mentor, and grow our talented team of product designers in our Digital Product Design organization. This isn't just a management role; you'll be a key strategic partner, working closely with product management, engineering, research, and other leaders across the company to define the future of our vehicles and services.

You'll champion user-centered design principles, elevate the craft of design within the team, and foster a collaborative and innovative design culture.

Define & Optimize Processes : Continuously evaluate and improve design processes, tools, and workflows to increase efficiency, collaboration, and the overall impact of the design team.

Champion Design Systems : Oversee the development and evolution of our design system to ensure consistency, efficiency, and scalability across our products.

Contribute to Product Strategy : Actively participate in high-level product strategy discussions, bringing a strong design perspective and advocating for innovative solutions that solve real user problems.
