About the role
As Senior Product Manager for Germany Modernizations, you will lead the move of the products Ford Bank Germany runs on from legacy platforms onto modern, cloud native foundations, as an empowered product manager accountable for outcomes.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the roadmap, discovery and delivery for Ford Bank Germany's modernisation portfolio, and to keep the organisation aligned behind it.
You will own core German products across leasing, vehicle asset management and insurance. Your starting point is our operating lease and asset management products. These are systems the business runs on every day, so the work involves understanding how the business operates as much as it involves technology.
Within our strategy, the decisions are yours: sequencing, scope, what we rebuild, what we retire and what we stop doing. Where reality contradicts the strategy, we expect you to say so and bring the evidence. You will work in cross functional teams located in Germany, UK, India and Spain.
Modernisation at Ford Credit
You will modernise the platforms behind our regional operations, commercial financing and partner integrations. Part of your role will be to take two business-critical systems from legacy environments to secure, cloud-first architectures.
The first is our fleet leasing and vehicle asset management platform, which supports a highly profitable part of our business. You will move its data pipelines, financial subledger accounting and key integrations to the cloud. The second is the core application behind our dealer insurance product, which we run with an external insurance provider for the Ford Bank Germany Insurance Department.
Throughout, you will make sure fleet partners and dealers see no disruption to the services they rely on. It is a chance to apply your product and technology skills to work that is central to Ford Bank Germany's future.
