Logistics Procurement Program Manager

What to Expect Tesla is focused on building a world of abundance and we are seeking a Logistics Procurement Program Manager to manage execution of logistics procurement programs. You will coordinate between the operations stakeholders requesting logistics services and logistics supply chain managers responsible for sourcing those services.
