• Define business requirements and success criteria for PM Tracker logic fixes and data quality improvements, partnering to scope technical requirements and manage the engineering relationship

• Manage site data accuracy in Installbase (equipment records, commissioning dates) and ensure scopes of work align with contractual obligations and Tesla standards

• Revise and maintain PM process documentation to reflect current field practices, regulatory requirements, and lessons learned from adoption verification data

• Participate in triage, scoring with WSJF-lite, and contributing field insights to the Feedback Loop and monthly Business Metrics report out

• Manage relationships with cross-functional teams including Data & Software Engineering, BOPS, Asset Management, and customer-facing teams to ensure effective collaboration across the initiative lifecycle

• Familiarity with JIRA or similar project management tools for backlog management and prioritization

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical information for non-technical stakeholders and coordinate across field operations, engineering, and business teams

• Solutions-driven mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and measurable outcomes
