You will emulate the "Gold Standard" of high-performance organisations, turning Finance talent into a measurable competitive advantage. This role requires a deep understanding of FP&A, Treasury, Controllership, and Shared Services to maintain credibility with senior stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and maintaining a dynamic Finance Capability Model that defines "what good looks like" for every role from entry-level Analyst to CFO.
• Leading the "Office of the Future" initiative, aggressively upskilling the global workforce in AI-driven analytics, data storytelling, and strategic business partnership to move from transactional reporting to predictive insight.
• Institutionalising repeatable processes for talent development, ensuring that learning is not an "event" but a core component of the Ford Finance Operating Model.

You will also be responsible for developing high-potential "Crucible" Programs, including Finance Accelerator Programs and defining the technical and operational critical experiences required for senior finance leadership.

Additionally, you will build a culture where the CFO and Senior Finance Leadership Team (FLT) serve as the primary faculty, coaching senior leaders on how to effectively teach, mentor, and transfer "tribal knowledge" to the broader organisation.

You will be expected to track metrics such as "Time to Proficiency," "Internal Fill Rate for Critical Roles," and "Value-Add from Process Improvement" to measure the financial impact of L&D.

This role requires a proven track record of leading large-scale organisational change or capability transformations in a global, matrixed environment.

You must have a deep understanding of Finance and be able to "speak Finance." A strong educational background, preferably an MBA or Advanced Degree in Finance, Organisational Development, or a related field, is also required.

The ideal candidate will possess a "challenger" mindset, be dissatisfied with the status quo, and have the resilience to drive change in a legacy organisation.

As part of the Ford family, you will enjoy excellent compensation, a comprehensive benefits package, and exciting opportunities for professional and personal growth and recognition.
