Proven ability to prepare and present concise status updates and recommendations to leadership.

Nice To Haves

Experience working within Global Design, Design Fabrication Operations, or similar creative/engineering build environments.
Background coordinating concept, show, or prototype vehicle builds or complex experiential properties.
Familiarity with GM product development and build processes and related systems/tools.
Demonstrated success working in high-ambiguity, fast-paced environments with shifting priorities.
Ability to translate creative studio needs into clear, actionable build requirements for technical and fabrication partners.
Strong analytical skills to interpret timing, capacity, and risk data and recommend trade-offs.

Coordinate with Design Studios, Fabrication Engineering, Model Shops, Paint, Vehicle Operations, and Program Teams to clarify scope, timing, and build readiness.
Manage build requests and priorities, ensuring alignment with Studio leadership direction and key events (e.g., design reviews, leadership reveals, auto shows, media events).
Develop and maintain standardized tracking tools, dashboards, and reports (e.g., build status, timing, open issues, risk/mitigation) for leadership reviews.
Monitor build execution against plan, identify risks or conflicts early, and drive timely mitigation with cross-functional partners.
Ensure all required vehicle and property information (content definition, bill-of-materials inputs, finishes, graphics, display needs, transport/storage needs) is captured and communicated.
Coordinate vehicle movements and logistics for concept properties (e.g., preparation, staging, transport, storage, and return) in partnership with Vehicle Operations and Logistics.
Support issue resolution and change management (e.g., late content changes, priority shifts, timing moves) with clear impact assessments and updated plans.
Prepare and deliver regular status updates to Design leadership and DFO leadership, highlighting accomplishments, risks, decisions needed, and next steps.
Help refine and document standard work and best practices for concept build coordination and tracking across the Design Center.
