Overview
At Ford, you’ll work on ideas that matter, alongside passionate people who want to make a global impact. Together, we’re shaping the next era of transportation—grounded in purpose, driven by progress. Make your move.
- Job Type: Full time
- Work Type: Hybrid
The Opportunity
As the Project Manager, Corporate Systems & Business Platforms, you will serve as an individual-contributor partner to the Head of Corporate Systems & Business Platforms, helping coordinate and drive the systems, processes, and initiatives that fall outside the core SAP and Salesforce delivery teams. It is a hands-on coordination and execution role for someone who thrives on influence without authority and getting things done across a fast-scaling, matrixed organization.
You will be the connective tissue of the organization: turning ambiguity into scoped plans, driving cross-functional issues to closure, and ensuring decisions and commitments made by leadership are never dropped.
Key Responsibilities
1. Emerging Projects & Governance
Own the intake and stand-up of new, undefined initiatives before they have an owner, a plan, or a process — including new reporting requirements, governance processes that don’t yet exist, architecture gaps identified by the Enterprise Architecture team, data ownership questions, and operational readiness initiatives.
Define scope: Frame problem statements, objectives, and boundaries for newly identified needs.
Identify stakeholders: Determine who needs to be at the table and bring them in.
Create plans: Build lightweight project plans, timelines, and success criteria.
Drive meetings: Run working sessions and keep initiatives moving between check-ins.
Escalate issues: Surface blockers and risks to leadership before they become fire drills.
2. Executive Follow-Through
Act as the safety net for commitments made in leadership forums — including action items from leadership discussions, decisions from workshops, cross-functional risks, and dependency management.
Make sure things don’t get dropped: Track open items to closure, chase owners, and report status back to leadership.
3. PMO / Reporting
Maintain the operating rhythm and visibility tools that keep the organization’s leader and stakeholders informed — including the RAID log, status updates, steering committee materials, and portfolio visibility.
Position Qualifications and Key Capabilities
Required
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
Experience: 6+ years in program/project coordination, software engineer, or a similar cross-functional individual-contributor role within a complex, matrixed organization (commensurate with GSR 7–8 level).
Enterprise Systems Fluency: Working knowledge of ERP (SAP preferred) and CRM (Salesforce preferred) environments, including how master data, integrations, and governance decisions affect the business.
Organizational Agility: Demonstrated ability to stand up structure — scope, plans, stakeholders, and cadence — for ambiguous, undefined initiatives.
Influence & Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment across teams and represent the leader’s priorities without direct authority.
Execution Discipline: Proven track record of tracking issues, decisions, and action items to closure in a fast-paced environment.
PMO Toolset: Hands-on experience maintaining RAID logs, steering committee materials, and portfolio reporting.
Preferred
Governance Background: Experience designing or standing up governance processes (data ownership, master data governance, architecture review) from scratch.
Startup Mindset: Comfort building process and structure from scratch within a larger corporate parent.
Manufacturing/Energy Exposure: Familiarity with manufacturing, energy, or other complex operational environments.
Key Attributes
A trusted individual contributor who can act as an extension of leadership — detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable holding others accountable on the leader’s behalf without having direct authority or people-management responsibility.

Energy Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a energy in Michigan?
Most energy roles in Michigan require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or energy systems, and many positions require licensure through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Engineers pursuing a Professional Engineer license must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gain qualifying experience, and then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam through LARA. Technician roles often require vocational training or an associate degree and may involve NABCEP certification for solar work.
Which companies hire energys in Michigan?
Employers hiring energys in Michigan right now include Ford Motor Company, SEEL, and Energy Sciences, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Michigan's energy sector is anchored by large investor-owned utilities and a growing number of renewable development firms operating across the Lower Peninsula.
Which Michigan cities have the most energy jobs?
Dearborn, Detroit, and Southfield have the most energy job openings in Michigan. Detroit leads because DTE Energy and several large engineering contractors are headquartered there, while Lansing concentrates utility and regulatory roles tied to Consumers Energy and state government offices, and Grand Rapids draws renewable project and energy efficiency work from its expanding commercial construction sector.
Are there remote energy jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they're limited. Most energy roles in Michigan involve physical infrastructure, field inspections, or on-site operations that require an in-person presence. About 84% of energy openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to cluster in energy consulting, data analytics, policy, and project management rather than hands-on engineering or technician work.
How can I get hired as a energy in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or co-op with a Michigan utility or engineering firm while completing a relevant degree. DTE Energy and Consumers Energy both run structured internship and new-graduate programs that often convert to full-time roles. Entry-level positions such as energy analyst, operations technician, or field service associate are common starting points. Earning a Fundamentals of Engineering certificate or a NABCEP associate credential strengthens a candidate's profile significantly before their first role.
Where can I find and apply to energy jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to energy jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current Michigan openings across utilities, renewable development, engineering, and energy consulting. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly from each listing.
