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?
As a global leader in advanced mobility solutions, our outstanding team of legal professionals helps us navigate the continually changing legal and regulatory landscape. In our Office of General Counsel, you'll be part of an organization that collaborates with outside counsel to operate as a global team and deliver world-class legal, tax and audit services to client groups throughout the company.
**In this position...**
Be at the forefront of global privacy. You won't just be maintaining existing programs; you will be on the front line, tackling the newest privacy laws as they emerge internationally. This is a dynamic role where you will constantly learn and adapt to the evolving global regulatory landscape.
Become the critical link between law and business. You will act as the essential translator and connector between our legal experts and our business teams. You'll have a unique, holistic view of the Company, understanding not just what the law requires, but how to make compliance a reality within our complex operations.
Drive tangible change on a global scale. Your work has a clear mission: to get us compliant with new laws before they take effect. You will manage concrete projects with clear deadlines and see the direct impact of your efforts as you guide teams across the finish line, protecting the Company from significant risk.
**What you'll do...**
+ You will partner with our legal team to analyze new global privacy laws and translate complex legal requirements into actionable business and technical tasks.
+ You will conduct gap assessments by working with business units across the Company to map out our current practices and identify what needs to change to meet new legal obligations.
+ You will lead cross-functional projects to implement the necessary changes, coordinating with IT, marketing, product, and other teams to ensure compliance deadlines are met.
+ You will develop and maintain documentation, project plans, and status reports to provide clear visibility into the progress of our global compliance initiatives for leadership.
+ You will serve as a key resource for the business, providing guidance on newly implemented compliance controls and helping to embed them into day-to-day operations.
**You'll have...**
+ 5 years or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
+ Three or more years of experience in a role focused on privacy, legal compliance, risk management, or project management.
+ A strong understanding of fundamental privacy principles and concepts.
+ Experience analyzing complex requirements and breaking them down into manageable tasks.
**Even better, you may have...**
+ Direct experience working on compliance programs for specific privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA).
+ Direct experience working with privacy/compliance technologies (e.g., OneTrust, TrustArc)
+ Professional privacy certifications, such as CIPP (Certified Information Privacy Professional) or CIPM (Certified Information Privacy Manager).
+ Experience in a large, global organization, navigating complex cross-functional structures.
+ Proven project management skills, with a track record of leading initiatives from planning to completion.
+ Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex topics to both legal and non-legal audiences.
