Concept Vehicle Coordinator

The Role

Lead the coordination and tracking of all Design Center concept vehicle and property builds, serving as the central point of contact between Design Studios, Design Fabrication Operations, Engineering, Program Management, and external partners. This role ensures that every concept vehicle build is clearly defined, accurately scheduled, and transparently tracked from request through delivery to meet studio timing, quality, and experience expectations.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end tracking of all Design Center concept vehicle and property builds, from intake through final delivery and debrief.
• Maintain the master concept build roadmap, including key milestones, dependencies, and risk flags across studios and fabrication shops.
• 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.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Design, Supply Chain, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in program coordination, vehicle build coordination, product development, or design/fabrication operations.
• Strong understanding of vehicle and/or property build processes (concept, show or prototype builds preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to plan, organize, and track multiple complex activities in parallel under tight timing.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across Design, Engineering, Fabrication, and Operations.
• High attention to detail with strong follow-through and a bias for proactive issue identification and resolution.
• Proficiency with project tracking and collaboration tools (e.g., spreadsheets, dashboards, scheduling and task management tools).
• Proven ability to prepare and present concise status updates and recommendations to leadership.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• 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.
