Financial Analyst

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?

Finance strategically partners with operations to drive outstanding business results and enhance Ford’s industry leadership. When you join us, you’ll be able to contribute financial expertise that impacts all areas of our company, including planning, manufacturing, marketing and global distribution.

In This Position…

We offer a 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 next-gen, affordable 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.

What You'Ll Do...

• Build the Financial Foundation: Develop and own the financial models, cost analyses, and profitability forecasts for a groundbreaking new EV platform from the ground up.
• Be a Proactive Problem-Solver: 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.
• Drive Strategy with Data: 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.
• Communicate the Vision: Work directly with our leadership to translate complex financial data into a clear story, providing the visibility needed to navigate this high-stakes project.

You'Ll Have...

• Bachelors in Finance, Engineering or related field

Who We're Looking For Core Qualifications:

• A True Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where team success is the ultimate goal.
• Demonstrated Proactive Mindset: 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.
• Comfortable with Ambiguity: You excel in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where the path isn't always clear and you're empowered to help chart it.
• Financial Acumen: You have expert-level proficiency with complex financial modeling and Excel. You can build, but you can also simplify.
• Eager to Learn: You have a deep curiosity to learn the intricate financial levers of the automotive industry and a passion for our mission.

Even better, you may have…

• Some experience with coding (Python), AI, and/or automation experience.
