As an Operations Specialist, your primary responsibility is to ensure a smooth ownership transfer process for Tesla customers that trade-in vehicles towards the purchase of a new/used Tesla. You will drive the follow up and resolution of any issues/delays that arise in transferring title ownership from the customer to Tesla. You will work with a variety of internal and external stakeholders: Tesla Sales/Delivery, finance/banking partners, state DMVs, title/tag agencies, and/or the customer directly to transfer title.
