Strategy & Program Operations Lead
Full-time
Tesla
What To Expect
The systems behind how Tesla plans, controls, and delivers capital projects are as critical as the projects themselves. You will define how Tesla's infrastructure projects run — change management, first-principles financial estimation and control, scheduling, self-perform labor productivity — and drive adoption across the organization. This is not a tool admin role. You define the workflows, embed with teams, and guide users to drive projects the Tesla way. The right person has shipped real projects, managed real spend, and immediately saw how to rebuild the whole process better from scratch. This position will require travel up to 30% of the time as it will be supporting most sites across Tesla. What You'll Do Define infrastructure project operations workflows from first principles — not imported from how other companies do itDeploy internal execution systems across active capital projects: change management, financial controls, scheduling, scope management, labor productivityGuide users across all levels to drive their projects using Tesla methods — make the system intuitive, not imposedTurn complex project data into clear narratives that drive decisions on cost, schedule, safety, and qualityEstablish standardized methods and KPIs that leadership and project teams can rally aroundOperate as a forward-deployed team embedded with project teams — solving problems at the point of execution, not from a deskClose process gaps with urgency — in the field, in the data, and at the table when it matters What You'll Bring 9+ years delivering complex projects — you've personally owned scope, cost, and outcomesFirst-principles command of project operations: earned value, change management, cost forecasting, CPM scheduling, productivity tracking, procurement, closeoutYou've built or fundamentally redesigned a project management system or workflow — not just operated oneYou can query data, spot the anomaly, and turn it into a story that drives actionYou get skeptics on board without hand-holdingTechnical fluency — comfortable with data platforms, BI tools, and complex system designBias toward action. You ship outcomes, not slide decks Benefits
