Supply Chain Manager, Raw Materials Sustainability

What To Expect
The Raw Materials team is looking for a Supply Chain specialist to drive Tesla’s global decarbonization strategy and develop commodity-specific strategies for aluminum, steel, and plastic resins. You will translate our net-zero target into sourcing plans, support supplier negotiations, and deliver lower-carbon materials without sacrificing cost, quality, or supply continuity. Working hands-on with commodity managers and internal stakeholders you will identify and build qualified lower-carbon supply options, and provide leadership with a clear commercial path to Tesla Net Zero Emissions 2040 goal for these commodities. The ideal candidate is an experienced supply chain specialist (ideally with a sustainability background), who thrives in a fast-paced environment and develops innovative approaches to sustainability challenges.

What You'll Do

Develop and deploy GHG reduction strategies for steel, aluminum, and polymer commodities aligned with Tesla's Global Sustainable Sourcing Policy

Assess market availability, pricing, and competitive risk of lower-carbon aluminum, steel, and resins; brief Global Commodity Leads and Raw Materials leadership on commercial implications

Build and qualify lower-carbon material supply options - including recycled content, low-carbon primary metal, and supply backed by renewable electricity - with a clear view of cost, capacity, and specification tradeoffs

Support negotiations on commercial terms and contract language that lock in supplier greenhouse gas reduction commitments, product carbon data, and milestone accountability

Partner with commodity managers, Supplier Industrialization, Engineering, Quality, and Legal to embed sustainability criteria into supplier selection and directed sourcing decisions

Lead supplier GHG engagement so reduction projects identified with Responsible Sourcing convert into contracted volume, pricing, and delivery

Equip supporting teams with commercial data, supplier access, and execution status so strategy, greenhouse gas accounting, and public reporting stay grounded in what Tesla can actually buy

What You'll Bring

Bachelors Degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations Management, Materials Engineering, or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability

Experience in commodity management for metals and/or polymers

Working knowledge of supplier greenhouse gas data and product carbon footprints sufficient to negotiate commercial terms and challenge supplier claims

Ability to balance cost, quality, supply continuity, and emissions outcomes in sourcing decisions

Proven supplier negotiation skills including embedding requirements beyond price into contracts

Ability to communicate clearly with commercial, technical, and Responsible Sourcing partners and operate in fast paced, ambiguous environments

Willingness to travel to supplier and production sites as needed
