Director of Manufacturing for Plant Management

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Director of Manufacturing (DOM) for Battery Pack Operations translates Ford's enterprise electrification strategy into a winning operating plan for the battery pack network, reporting to the Executive Director of Manufacturing for Powertrain Operations and Passion Products. This leader owns the network-level strategy and execution across BlueOval Battery Park Michigan — America's first automaker-backed LFP battery facility — and the Indiana Battery Pack facility, with close coordination into Rawsonville Components Plant on shared component supply. You're not inheriting a mature operation — you're standing up new sites and building the organization and culture from the ground up, while connecting Ford's electrification vision to the tangible work of scaling from launch to steady-state, high-volume production. You'll lead performance in the order that matters most: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC). 

Please take a moment to review the responsibilities and required and desired skills of this Plant Manager. If you feel you have the manufacturing experience and servant leadership philosophies to be successful, we encourage you to apply.

WHAT A SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

This is one of the most impactful operating roles in Ford's manufacturing network — a chance to lead at scale, shape a high-performing organization, and leave a lasting mark on how Ford builds electrification capabilities. We're looking for a leader who combines deep technical expertise with a high-performance mindset, someone who executes with precision against the network's strategic plan while inspiring their team to reach for more every single day. You'll model the Ford Operating System Behaviors and drive performance in the order that matters most: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC).
