Professional Scrum Master Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

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?

Do you believe data tells the real story? We do! Redefining mobility requires quality data, secure data access, robust privacy controls, and automated governance frameworks that thousands of global users can rely on every day. That's where Global Data Insight & Analytics (GDI&A) makes an impact. We build the enterprise-wide data foundation that enables compliance-first access to critical information, empowering leadership and business units to act with confidence. Join us and use your product management expertise and technical acumen to drive secure, scalable, and compliant data outcomes at global scale.

We are seeking an experienced professional to own the product lifecycle for our core data-sharing and compliance platforms within the GDI&A Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) organization. As the Product Manager for Data Access, Privacy, and Governance, you will serve as the critical bridge between engineering, business units, and the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) to ensure our data products are secure, compliant, and highly performant. This role requires a strong technical background and demonstrated experience in data platform product management, identity and access management (IAM), privacy governance, and cloud-native architectures.

Responsibilities include the end-to-end ownership of product strategy, requirements authoring, and agile delivery execution, from regulatory mandate through production release, working within mixed-skill teams and in close partnership with engineers, legal counsel, privacy officers, and senior business stakeholders. By leveraging deep technical familiarity and a compliance-first product mindset, you will drive scalable platform capabilities that protect Ford's data assets, enable seamless access provisioning, and deliver measurable business value at scale.

We recognize that no one person will embody every single quality or skill listed below. If you are passionate about data governance and have a strong foundation in product management and cloud-native platform delivery, we encourage you to apply.

• Requires a bachelor's or foreign equivalent degree in computer science, information technology or a technology related field

• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to communicate complex technical and regulatory concepts effectively to diverse stakeholder audiences
• Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional, globally distributed team

Required Technical Experience:

• Prior technical experience working with microservice API architectures and integrations, with the ability to read API documentation and participate deeply in technical system design discussions
• Hands-on experience or strong familiarity with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem, including BigQuery, Cloud IAM, Cloud DLP, or Google Cloud Storage
• Proven track record of running Agile ceremonies, leading Scrums and Scrum of Scrums, and managing delivery timelines across distributed teams
• Experience working within highly regulated environments, partnering closely with legal (OGC), compliance, or risk management teams
• Exceptional ability to write clear, structured, and detailed BRDs and PRDs that translate regulatory and business needs into actionable engineering requirements
• Outstanding oral presentation, storytelling, and slide-building skills, with a proven ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority

Preferred Experience:

• Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO), SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager (POPM), PIPM, or equivalent Agile certifications
