About The Position

General Motors’ Human Interface Design organization creates the digital experiences that power our in-vehicle software, mobile apps, and branded web platforms. As a Senior Producer, you will shape the operating models, cross-functional rhythms, and delivery processes that enable our designers to work at scale. You will partner across product, engineering, marketing, brand, and design leadership to align priorities, accelerate decision-making, and ensure design intent is carried through to launch. Senior Producers serve as strategic operators – linking design with product, engineering, program, and marketing teams while building systems that help teams deliver high-quality products with speed and confidence. We are hiring for multiple Senior Producer roles across the following two teams: The Design Ops Vehicle OS practice drives the end‑to‑end operational strategy and execution behind GM’s in‑vehicle digital design ecosystem. Partnering closely with Product Management, Program Management, and Engineering, the team translates user‑experience vision into high‑quality, cross‑platform deliverables while championing design excellence. Design Ops establishes and manages the workflows, governance structures, planning cadences, and communication channels needed to keep complex cross‑functional teams aligned and unblocked. They create clarity around scope, timing, dependencies, and review cycles so designers have the structure and support required to deliver intuitive, cohesive, and future‑forward in‑vehicle experiences. As the operational backbone of the Vehicle OS organization, this practice is essential to achieving scale, efficiency, consistency, and excellence across all design initiatives. Web & App Governance team and the Enterprise UX team are hiring Senior Producers / Design Program Managers. The Governance team drives consistent, scalable use of components, patterns, and guidelines across GM’s brands and channels while aligning cross‑functional teams around the design system.

In both roles, you will enable clarity, coordination, and delivery—helping teams tackle complex design challenges and improve adoption, quality, and workflow efficiency.
