About The Position

General Motors is accepting applications for current and potential future Group Leader opportunities at its Lansing Grand River facility. The role is onsite and requires reporting to the facility full-time. Candidates may be considered for Production Group Leader, Quality Group Leader, or Global Supply Chain (GSC) Group Leader work.
