Job Description

We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven colleague to take logistics program ownership of one or more of Tesla’s Energy and Charging product lines, and/or service programs. The position is based at our Amsterdam or Tilburg office. The team that you will be joining is part of the wider EMEA Logistics & Distribution department. You will be fundamental in ensuring that the logistics and distribution activities in EMEA fit the global needs of your program. Keeping growth, meeting SLAs and reducing costs in mind. Initiating cross-functional process changes and improvement projects where needed. Next to that, you will be a key partner for the operational teams by providing them with insights such as weekly to quarterly projections, changes in strategy, new market/product introduction, hosting alignment calls with the energy/charging teams and helping resolve operational issues. You will be in the unique position to become an expert on the full flow for your program, from forecasting all the way to on-time delivery. The role requires someone who can maintain a high level, end-to-end overview of what is happening while managing multiple stakeholders and projects at the same time. You are not shy with taking initiatives to set up meetings and reaching out to others. There is a great sense of ownership for your projects and their timelines. Decisions you make are based on data-driven analyses and always consider the impact on our customers and internal teams. Process mapping is something you enjoy doing. Due to the size of the organization, you will be dealing with different geographically based stakeholders. These can include Sales, Deployment, Service, Supply Planning, Systems, Tax/Trade and other regional logistics teams. You should therefore be able to deal with cultural differences and will need an international orientated mindset to succeed.

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.
