At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We're turning today's impossible into tomorrow's standard - from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role
As the Chief of Staff for Core Experience Product Management, you will act as a true extension of the Executive Director - helping shape strategy, drive execution, and ensure the organization operates with clarity, focus, and momentum. This is a highly visible, high-impact role at the center of product leadership, requiring strong judgment, discretion, and the ability to move seamlessly between strategic thinking and tactical execution.
You will partner closely with senior leaders to align priorities, translate strategy into action, and keep complex initiatives moving forward. From owning critical operating rhythms to preparing executive-ready communications and briefing materials, you will help ensure the organization is set up for success. Given the volume and importance of written and verbal communications - often crafted on behalf of senior leadership - exceptional communication skills and attention to detail are essential.
