Program Manager, Service Operations

Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Service Program Manager to drive operational efficiency and workflow excellence across our North America Service Customer Experience team. The Service Operations team ensures Tesla owners enjoy a seamless service experience that matches the innovation of their vehicles. We partner with North America field teams and internal departments to deliver the highest level of service while supporting Tesla s operational and financial goals.

This is a high-impact role focused on simplifying how work gets done-so customers feel the difference. You will identify opportunities to streamline end-to-end processes, reduce duplicative labor, and strengthen the internal tools and resources teams rely on every day. Success means clearer workflows, less rework, stronger enablement for the field, and a consistently better customer experience.

• Own operational efficiency and workflow simplification initiatives that improve the customer experience across North America Service

• Diagnose process friction-unclear ownership, handoff gaps, tool limitations, redundant steps, or resource constraints-using data and field input, then turn insights into action

• Design and run pilots with clear success criteria; measure efficiency and customer experience impact, iterate quickly, and scale what works

• Streamline end-to-end workflows with Product, Engineering, Field, and adjacent operations teams to remove waste, rework, and complexity

• Strengthen internal resources (playbooks, knowledge assets, tools, and enablement) so teams execute consistently with less manual effort

• Partner with Business Analytics on dashboards that surface process health, operational friction, and customer experience impact; align stakeholders across Service Operations, Field Leadership, Parts, Logistics, and Technology to remove blockers

• Partner with Training to drive adoption and sustainment of process and tool changes; balance operational realities with an unwavering focus on the customer experience

• 3+ years managing cross-functional programs in a customer-facing organization (automotive, logistics, hospitality, or similar preferred)

• Proven track record improving operational efficiency and solving complex process problems with measurable results-including designing or refining workflows that reduce duplicative work

• Comfort diving into data, spotting patterns, and translating insights into action (Excel required; SQL or BI tools a plus)

• Experience driving process change through ambiguity and ensuring adoption at scale

• Ability to manage multiple workstreams, competing priorities, and tight timelines without sacrificing quality

• Strong relationship-building and alignment skills across HQ and Field teams with varying priorities

• Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments; deep understanding of how operational decisions shape the customer experience; willingness to travel up to 25% to engage with field teams
