What to Expect Tesla continues to scale at breakneck speed aligned with our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. To keep pace with this growth, the North America Used Cars team is seeking a dynamic problem solver with exceptional ability to challenge us to think differently. This team is responsible for the multi-billion Tesla Used Cars business focused on the intake, refurbishment, and resale of all used Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles. The right person is hungry to dive into critical challenges in the Service organization, breaking down silos and partnering closely with cross-functional teams across Tesla to drive the business forward.
The Project Manager role requires the flexibility to adapt, a deep understanding of stakeholder management and the ability to influence without authority, and a forward-thinking nature to anticipate trends. You will be responsible for developing and championing step-change improvements to the used vehicle refurbishment process, finding ways to repair vehicles more quickly and at the highest standard of quality, support new strategic initiatives, and manage multiple critical projects simultaneously. This dynamic and multifaceted position requires exceptional communication skills, a developed understanding of business operations, and a track record of effectively guiding initiatives to success under challenging conditions.

Lead strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing used vehicle refurbishment operational efficiency and quality.

Dive into data, structure pilots, track and measure results, iterate then launch solutions that can scale across different markets to drive operational efficiency.
Regularly present written and verbal proposals to improve the business to senior leaders across Tesla and adjust strategy based on feedback.
What You’ll Bring
Analytical mindset and courage to question the status quo – ability to ask structured questions and quantify impact if you recognize an opportunity to improve.
Relentless drive for excellence that stands out among peers, regardless of background.
Ability to influence and build relationships without authority, from front-line agents to executive leadership.
Low ego and hunger to learn, able to connect with anyone and roll up your sleeves to do whatever is needed to help the team.
