Job Description

Own CRM lifecycle communications and automation journeys at Ford, with delivery, reliability, and optimization across email, in-app messaging, and SMS.

Responsibilities

Lead day-to-day delivery and continuous improvement for subscription transactional communications, vehicle order status communications, and eCommerce-triggered journeys.
Own and prioritize the product backlog across new requirements, enhancements, defects, and operational improvements.
Convert business needs into user stories, acceptance criteria, and measurable outcomes.
Coordinate execution with business stakeholders, marketing operations, data teams, and engineering.
Provide status updates on progress, dependencies, risks, and decisions to stakeholders.
Define and maintain communication eligibility rules including triggering events, timing, exclusions, and journey entry and exit criteria.
Partner with subscription product teams to evaluate how bundled offerings impact existing communications and coordinate required updates.
Ensure vehicle order status communications align with relevant vehicle-build milestones and order updates for intended recipients.
Manage eCommerce-triggered communications based on customer actions and business requirements.
Identify cross-journey dependencies and prevent duplicate, conflicting, outdated, or incorrectly timed messages.
Maintain documentation for business logic, data dependencies, and change history.
Apply Salesforce Marketing Cloud expertise to assess feasibility, refine requirements, and troubleshoot journey behavior.
Collaborate on configuration and validation of journeys, automations, audiences, data extensions, and triggered communications.
Understand how customer information, subscription status, vehicle order updates, and eCommerce events affect journey execution.
Coordinate user acceptance testing, release readiness, and post-launch validation.
Find opportunities to simplify workflows and improve maintainability of existing journeys.
Define journey objectives and success metrics with business, marketing, and analytics partners (engagement, conversion, customer experience, operational reliability).
Design and execute A/B tests and, where appropriate, holdout-based experiments with marketing, analytics, and delivery teams to measure incremental impact.
Use performance insights to improve journey logic, audiences, triggers, frequency, and channel coordination.
Establish quality-control practices including test scenarios, regression coverage, and release checklists.
Validate communication logic across product combinations, customer scenarios, data exceptions, timing rules, and exclusions.
Partner with technical teams to improve monitoring and identify missed triggers, unexpected audience volumes, duplicate messages, and other execution issues.
Coordinate issue triage, root-cause analysis, remediation, and preventive improvements.
Create reusable playbooks and automated checks to scale quality control with limited manual effort.
Identify opportunities to use approved AI tools and automation for requirements development, test-case generation, documentation, and quality analysis.
Test approaches that reduce repetitive work while maintaining human review and appropriate data safeguards.
Partner with engineering and operations teams to turn successful approaches into reusable capabilities.
Measure improvements in delivery speed, manual effort, test coverage, and defect prevention.
Provide operational backup for AI-powered journey activations, including requirements clarification, testing, release coordination, monitoring, and issue triage.
Collaborate with internal teams and external technology partners within established decisioning strategies and escalation processes.
Maintain working knowledge of journey workflows and dependencies to support continuity during peak delivery periods or coverage needs.
Use operational insights and stakeholder feedback to recommend improvements to reliability, efficiency, and customer experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
3+ years of product management experience in CRM (Salesforce preferred) delivery/marketing technology/lifecycle communications or a similar area.
Experience managing backlogs, defining user stories and acceptance criteria, prioritizing competing needs, and coordinating cross-functional delivery.
