Join Ford Motor Credit Company

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves? The Ford Motor Credit Company team helps put people behind the wheels of great Ford and Lincoln vehicles. By partnering with dealerships, we provide financing, personalized service and professional expertise to thousands of dealers and millions of customers in over one hundred countries around the world.

Ford Credit is evolving its software and services to maintain its leadership in the captive finance market. The Procurement Team is responsible for sourcing indirect solutions, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Participate in the due diligence process for new supplier onboarding.

You'll Have...

  • Strong analytical skills for sourcing analysis, business case studies, and cost analysis (including understanding cost drivers and modeling). Experience with business case evaluation and risk assessment (e.g., cost analytics, Global Terms).
  • Ability to think concurrently, maintain focus, manage priorities, and drive results in a fast-paced, evolving environment. High energy and adaptability are key.

  • Proficiency in Excel, and knowledge / experience in Aurora / Ariba is preferred.
  • Experience in contract development, including an understanding of service contracts, Statements of Work (SOWs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and performance management by metrics.
  • A curious, creative, versatile, and strategic mindset, with the ability to see the bigger picture.
