About this role

Tesla is seeking a Benefits Program Manager to join our Compensation & Benefits team in London or Amsterdam. This role supports the coordination and delivery of employee benefits programs across Tesla's EMEA offering - including, but not limited to, pensions, health and life insurance, meal vouchers, wellbeing, and other country-specific benefits - with a focus on executing clearly defined projects that drive operational efficiency and compliance across EMEA markets.

You will interact with internal and external project team members and begin to build productive working relationships across the organisation.

- Execute and manage projects across Tesla's employee benefits portfolio - including pensions, insurance, meal vouchers, wellbeing, and other country-specific programs - ensuring on-time delivery within agreed scope and quality standards
- Run benefits reconciliations - comparing enrolment, payroll deductions, and vendor records - understand where breaks occur, and investigate them internally and with vendors until the variance is resolved
- Manage benefits renewals across EMEA markets - coordinating timelines, data, and vendor inputs so renewals land on time and within agreed scope
- Advise senior leadership on the coordination and improvement of benefits initiatives across EMEA, including gap analysis, evaluation of current practices, and cross-country standardisation with regional stakeholders and C&B Partners
- Build productive working relationships and drive vendor and partner coordination - including Payroll, Finance, HR Partnering, IT, Works Councils, Benefits and HR Operations, brokers, insurers, pension providers, and consultants - tracking service levels and holding partners accountable at manager level
- Develop benefits communications with local vendors and brokers - educational materials, presentations, and workshops that improve employee understanding and participation - and prepare related project materials and recommendations, reviewing them with your manager before they are shared more widely
- Support compliance monitoring across relevant benefits programs, ensuring projects adhere to regional regulations and country-specific requirements
- Identify risks and issues early, resolve defined escalations promptly and thoroughly, and escalate what sits outside your scope, with a solutions-oriented approach and a bias for action

- Solid experience in project or program management, ideally within benefits, HR operations, or a high-growth, fast-paced technology, automotive, or consumer products environment
- Familiarity with employee benefits programs (pensions, insurance, meal vouchers, wellbeing, and country-specific offerings), or a strong ability to develop that knowledge on the job; working knowledge of the EMEA labour environment and country-specific regulations is a plus
- Solid stakeholder and vendor management skills, with experience engaging partners at manager level - including brokers and internal teams such as Payroll and Finance - and tracking performance
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with proficiency in Excel or equivalent - able to construct a clear problem statement, look beyond the numbers, and use data to support decisions; comfort with automation or system integrations is a plus
- Strong organisational skills with attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities within a defined project scope, including renewals and reconciliations
- A hands-on, ownership mindset - reliable in completing assigned tasks, acknowledging mistakes, and taking corrective action proactively
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment, with a positive, service-oriented, and resilient attitude
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; additional European languages are a plus
