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.

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

You'll have...

  • 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.
