About the role

What To Expect Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Service Program Manager to own and transform the Customer Scheduling Flow for our North America Service Operations 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 dedicated, high-impact role focused on two critical objectives: Reducing the Tesla-initiated cancel/reschedule rate and simplifying the end-to-end scheduling experience for customers and internal teams.

What You'll Do

Serve as the dedicated program manager accountable for customer scheduling performance metrics, with a primary focus on reducing Tesla-initiated cancellations and reschedules

Conduct deep-dive analyses to identify why cancellations and reschedules occur—whether due to parts availability, technician capacity, system limitations, or communication gaps

Structure pilots, define success criteria, track results, iterate quickly, and scale successful interventions across North America

Partner with Business Analytics to develop dashboards that provide real-time insight into scheduling health and cancellation drivers

Partner with Training teams to educate field users on new processes and tools; ensure changes are understood and sustained. Balance operational realities with an unwavering focus on customer experience; represent the voice of the customer in all decisions

What You'll Bring

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

Proven track record of solving complex operational problems with measurable results

Comfortable diving into data, identifying patterns, and translating insights into action (Excel proficiency required; SQL or BI tools a plus)

Experience driving process changes through ambiguity and ensuring adoption at scale

Ability to manage multiple workstreams, competing priorities, and tight timelines without sacrificing quality. Skilled at building relationships and driving alignment across HQ and Field teams with varying priorities
