About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience with 5–8 years coordinating logistics, supply chain, or procurement programs between operations stakeholders and procurement, preferably within a complex manufacturing environment, including demonstrated ability to manage several concurrent programs with at least one large-scale or capital program, or equivalent experience.
  • Ability to influence operations leaders and Global Supply Managers without direct authority, maintain schedule discipline when inputs are delayed, and present status and recommendations to Director-level stakeholders.
  • Ability to convert an operations request into a defined requirement covering sites, volumes, timing, constraints, and service levels.
  • Working knowledge of logistics service procurement, including RFIs/RFPs, statements of work, SLAs, and award transition.
  • Ability to maintain a milestone plan, RACI, and risk log across multiple programs, including capital projects.
  • Experience across plant logistics and project or site logistics; expertise in every transportation mode is not required.
  • Strong written communication, facilitation, and follow-through to align requesting stakeholders and supply managers while respecting each team's accountability.
  • Solid command of purchasing processes, including SOPs, RFIs/RFPs, statements of work, SLAs, purchase orders, and contract governance.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 20–30% to Tesla sites and supplier reviews.
  • Must be based in Fremont, California.

Responsibilities

  • Manage execution of logistics procurement programs and coordinate operations stakeholders requesting logistics services with logistics supply chain managers responsible for sourcing those services.
  • Ensure requirements, statements of work, and service-level agreements are defined, aligned, and progressing, and ensure major programs, including capital expenditure programs, advance from request through start of service on an agreed timeline.
  • Manage multiple logistics projects concurrently across the modes required by each program; keep the portfolio on schedule and present status, risks, and decisions to stakeholders.
  • Own a cross-category portfolio of logistics programs by establishing scope, timelines, accountable owners, and success criteria; maintain milestone reviews, a risk log, leadership-ready status reporting, and a repeatable coordination process.
  • Serve as the coordination point between operations stakeholders and supply chain managers, confirming alignment on requirements, timelines, and decisions, and escalating incomplete, delayed, or competing requests before they affect milestones.
  • Translate operating requirements into sourcing-ready scope, including volumes, sites, timing, constraints, and acceptance criteria; track statements of work and service-level agreements to identify gaps before a bid or contract execution.
  • Manage milestone tracking for high-visibility and capital-expenditure logistics programs, including factory and line installations, equipment and tooling moves, project deployments, and build-outs where logistics is on the critical path; run concurrent projects across freight, warehousing, parcel, brokerage, project cargo, and specialized moves while maintaining an integrated schedule and adjusting for capacity conflicts.
  • Partner with logistics supply chain managers on sourcing timelines, data requests, and decision gates; ensure each sourcing event has a complete request and confirmed stakeholder participation.
  • After award, verify statements of work are executed, service levels are understood, site briefings are complete, and service is operational before closing the program.
  • Work with operations, construction and program teams, Material Planning, Service Parts, Finance, Legal, Trade & Customs, and Logistics Operations; represent program status in launch, peak-readiness, and capital reviews; resolve issues between stakeholder requests and executed service agreements.
  • Coach analysts and cross-functional partners on defining logistics requests, statement-of-work content, and program timelines; serve as the day-to-day program coordinator and first escalation point when a program is off schedule.

Desired Qualifications

  • Advanced Excel experience; Power BI or equivalent analytics tool experience is a plus.
  • Experience coordinating logistics, supply chain, or procurement programs in a complex manufacturing environment is preferred.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
