The opportunity This role offers a unique chance to own the end-to-end lifecycle of Model e’s most critical strategic initiatives—from initial problem-solving to operational rollout. You will focus on scaling our retail charging strategy, moving it from a high-level vision to a high-performing market reality. As a leader of these strategic and operational workstreams, you will serve as a key partner to Model e senior leadership, ensuring our most ambitious goals are met with precision, speed, and measurable business impact.
The role As a Model e Strategy Senior Manager reporting to the Senior Director of Model e Strategy you will play a key leadership role developing and delivering the Model e 2030 strategy, including our comprehensive charging strategy, and building a strong business unit strategy team. In the role, you will:
- Architect Actionable Strategies: Rigorously frame and structure complex challenges to identify the highest-leverage opportunities for growth. You won't just define the "what," but will map out the "how," guiding workstream leaders to ensure every strategic project has a clear path to commercial execution.
- Drive Breakthrough Solutions: Design and lead problem-solving engines for Model e’s most critical hurdles, particularly in EV adoption and charging infrastructure. You will unlock organizational bottlenecks, resource teams for maximum impact, and ensure that strategic solutions are scalable and sustainable.
- Convert Insights into Competitive Advantage: Oversee the development of a robust, data-driven fact base that moves beyond "interesting" data to "decisive" action. You will lead teams to leverage EV charging data and customer behavior trends to make high-stakes trade-offs that improve our market position.
- Deliver Measurable Outcomes: Lead teams in translating complex analysis into tangible business results. You will be accountable for moving our retail charging strategy from a recommendation to a phased roadmap with clear KPIs, ensuring that strategic intent results in a superior customer experience and business growth.
- Mobilize the Organization: Confidently lead strategic dialogues and challenge the status quo to accelerate decision-making. You will act as a catalyst for change, securing deep commitment (not just buy-in) from C-suite executives and cross-functional partners to ensure the enterprise is aligned for rapid execution.
- Build an Outcome-Oriented Culture: Act as a strategic leader and developer of talent, building high-performing teams that are obsessed with impact. You will foster a culture of excellence, continuous learning, and accountability, driving organizational change by modeling the Ford+ behaviors and delivering on our transformation goals.
