About the Job

Requirements

At least 10 years of experience delivering complex projects, with personal ownership of scope, cost, and outcomes.
First-principles command of project operations, including earned value, change management, cost forecasting, critical path method scheduling, productivity tracking, procurement, and closeout.
Experience building or fundamentally redesigning a project management system or workflow, rather than only operating one.
Ability to query data, identify anomalies, and explain findings in a way that drives action.
Ability to gain the support of skeptical stakeholders without extensive assistance.
Technical fluency with data platforms, business intelligence tools, and complex system design.
Bias toward action and a focus on delivering outcomes.

Responsibilities

Define infrastructure project operations workflows from first principles rather than importing methods from other companies.
Deploy internal execution systems across active capital projects, including change management, financial controls, scheduling, scope management, and labor productivity.
Guide users across all levels in using Tesla methods to run projects, making the system intuitive rather than imposed.
Turn complex project data into clear narratives that inform decisions on cost, schedule, safety, and quality.
Establish standardized methods and key performance indicators for leadership and project teams.
Work as a forward-deployed team member embedded with project teams, solving problems at the point of execution.
Close process gaps in the field, in project data, and in stakeholder discussions.

Job Description

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.

Establish standardized methods and KPIs that leadership and project teams can rally around

Close process gaps with urgency — in the field, in the data, and at the table when it matters

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.
