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.

  • Act as a key liaison between suppliers, business owners, and various internal teams to negotiate purchase order terms, conditions, and statements of work.
  • Participate in Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposal (RFP), and Request for Quotation (RFQ) initiatives to evaluate services and support sourcing decisions.
  • Conduct appropriate sourcing activities to deliver quality services at the best cost, with minimal risks to Ford Motor Credit Company.

  • 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.
