We are looking for a Program Manager to take the Optimus roadmap and turn it into work external-facing teams can execute - content, merchant, apparel, and rewards. You sit with the program, understand what is coming, and make sure the people who talk to customers, partners, and the public are working from the same plan.
- Own translation of the Optimus roadmap into briefs, calendars, and launches for content, merchant apparel, and rewards
- Keep a single source of truth so external-facing employees know what is live, what is next, and what is blocked
- Partner with engineering, data collection, and go-to-market stakeholders; surface dependencies early and keep launches on Tesla speed
- Run the cross-functional drumbeat - standups, milestones, owners, and close the gap between roadmap intent and field execution
- Find broken handoffs (assets, timing, messaging) and put simple, repeatable workflows in place
- Represent the program with external-facing teams without losing the technical reality of what Optimus can and cannot do yet
- Experience as a program or project manager in content, merchandising, apparel, consumer products, or another external-facing launch environment
- Track record of turning a product or technical roadmap into work other teams can actually ship
- Strong organization and stakeholder management - you can hold a calendar, a brief, and a room
- Comfort in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment; you prioritize without perfect information
- Clear writing and communication for operators, not slide decks
- Passion for Tesla's mission and humanoid robotics
