• You will have the chance to join a new "skunk works" group at Ford on a mission to completely change how electric vehicles are made. We are a small, agile team operating with a high level of autonomy to develop the UEV (Universal Electrification Vehicle) platform—the key to delivering Ford’s first-ever low-cost, profitable EV.
• The Best of Both Worlds:
  The speed, autonomy, and impact of a startup, backed by the resources and legacy of Ford.
• Unprecedented Impact:
  Your work won’t just optimize a spreadsheet; it will directly shape the financial success of the most critical product in Ford’s modern history and help define the future of the American auto industry.
• A Masterclass in Business:
  Get a front-row seat to building a multi-billion dollar business within a business. Master the complexities of an EV P&L from R&D to production, a skillset that is invaluable and rare.
• A Mission-Driven Culture:
  Join a hand-picked, high-performing team that is energized by the challenge and united by the goal of making history.
• This is a rare opportunity to help reinvent a 125-year-old American icon from the inside, solve one of the most exciting problems in the automotive industry, and make the world a greener place.

• Develop and own the financial models, cost analyses, and profitability forecasts for a groundbreaking new EV platform from the ground up.
• Go beyond the numbers to independently identify financial risks in our supply chain, manufacturing process, and go-to-market strategy. Your job is to anticipate bottlenecks and clear the path for the engineering and product teams.
• Analyze complex financial scenarios to guide critical decisions on everything from material sourcing to vehicle pricing, ensuring we stay on track to hit our ambitious cost and profitability targets.
• Work directly with UEV leadership to translate complex financial data into a clear story, providing the visibility needed to navigate this high-stakes project.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 3-5 years of experience in corporate finance or a similar analytical role, with strong financial acumen.
• You have expert-level proficiency with complex financial modeling and Excel. You can build, but you can also simplify.
• You thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where team success is the ultimate goal.
• You have a deep curiosity to learn the intricate financial levers of the automotive industry and a passion for our mission.
• You excel in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where the path isn’t always clear and you’re empowered to help chart it.
• You have a history of anticipating needs and running projects autonomously. In a skunk works setting, you must be able to solve problems without waiting to be asked.

• MBA
• Python Coding:
  Some experience with coding (Python), AI, and/or automation experience would be a big bonus.
