Business Planning Analyst, Resource Planning - #44375

What To Expect
At Tesla, resource allocation decisions — where we build, how many people we hire, and how we scale infrastructure across EMEA — must be grounded in accurate, data-driven planning. The Resource Planning team within EMEA Business Planning owns the models that translate demand signals into headcount targets, real estate requirements, and investment inputs across all verticals: Sales, Delivery, Service, Used Cars, and Supercharging.

As a Business Planning Analyst within this team, you will build and maintain the analytical models that underpin these decisions. This is a deliberately flexible role where you will work across both real estate and headcount planning depending on business priorities, and we expect you to develop genuine expertise across both dimensions. You will work closely with the Resource Planning Lead and partner with Finance, Infrastructure Development, and Operations teams across 30+ EMEA markets to ensure every resource decision has a rigorous analytical basis behind it.

What You'll Do

Build and maintain EMEA-wide real estate and headcount models across Sales, Delivery, Service and Used Cars, translating demand forecasts and productivity assumptions into site-level capacity requirements and investment recommendations

Partner with Infrastructure Development and Real Estate teams to align planning assumptions with on-the-ground feasibility, permit timelines, and CAPEX parameters. Produce quarterly real estate and headcount planning outputs for FP&A, senior leadership and Regional teams, including scenario analyses under varying demand and growth assumptions

Develop productivity benchmarks and staffing ratio models that can be applied consistently across markets and adapted to local operational contexts

Provide headcount planning inputs for new market launches, product rollouts, and business cases requiring FTE investment

Identify opportunities to improve the accuracy and efficiency of headcount models: through better data sourcing, automation, or methodological refinements

Serve as a reliable analytical partner to Finance, Operations, and regional market teams: responding to ad-hoc modelling requests and translating complex outputs into clear, actionable recommendations

Continuously improve the team's analytical tools and processes: introducing automation, better data pipelines, and more scalable modelling approaches

What You'll Bring

Experience in business planning, financial analysis, strategy, or a closely related analytical role

Strong modelling skills — proficient in Excel with the ability to build structured, auditable models from scratch. Experience with Python or SQL is a significant advantage and actively encouraged

Structured, clear communicator — able to present complex outputs simply to non-analytical stakeholders and to write concise, well-reasoned recommendations

Able to operate across multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing quality — you manage your own priorities and flag risks proactively rather than waiting to be asked.

Curious and self-directed — you do not wait for perfect instructions before starting, and you bring questions and ideas rather than just outputs

Track record of building analytical tools that others adopt and maintain — not just one-off analyses
