About Slate

At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.

 

Who we are looking for:

Slate is looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Risk Manager to join our growing Treasury team. In this role, you will play a critical part in safeguarding the company’s assets and operations by leading our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and overseeing our corporate insurance program. As we scale, your expertise will help us proactively identify, assess, and manage risk across all areas of the business.

 

What you get to do:

  • Develop, implement, and maintain an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) plan that identifies, evaluates, mitigates, and monitors key risks across the organization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leaders to assess strategic, operational, financial, and compliance risks.
  • Establish risk policies, procedures, and reporting tools to promote a culture of risk awareness and accountability.
  • Conduct regular risk assessments and report findings to senior leadership.
  • Own and manage the company’s corporate insurance program (excluding employee benefits), including property, casualty, liability, auto, and other lines of coverage.
  • Partner with insurance brokers and advisors to ensure the company has adequate and cost-effective insurance coverage that aligns with its risk profile and evolving needs.
  • Drive insurance renewal processes, ensuring coverage meets contractual and operational requirements.
  • Support claims management, working with internal teams and insurance partners to ensure timely resolution of claims.
  • Administer the Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) for the manufacturing plant build-out, coordinating with Slate’s insurance broker, underwriter, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) team, and the general contractor to ensure compliance, coverage adequacy, and effective program management.
  • Ensure that all Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from vendors, contractors, and subcontractors are collected prior to the start of work and are renewed as required to maintain compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Develop key risk and insurance performance metrics to measure the effectiveness of risk management and insurance strategies.
  • Provide training and guidance to functional teams to enhance risk awareness and compliance with insurance requirements.
  • Collaborate with legal, finance, purchasing, and other teams to ensure contract terms appropriately address risk and insurance needs.

 

What you bring to the team:

  • 8+ years of experience in enterprise risk management, corporate insurance, treasury, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of risk management frameworks, principles, and best practices.
  • Experience leading or participating in a cross-functional ERM collaboration council, fostering engagement across departments to identify and address enterprise risks holistically.
  • Hands-on experience managing corporate insurance programs and working with brokers and insurance carriers.
  • Familiarity with the major national commercial insurance brokers and underwriters, with a solid understanding of their market positions, strengths, and weaknesses.
  • Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and projects.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive and solutions-oriented mindset.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to build relationships across teams and external partners.
  • Proficiency in risk assessment tools, Microsoft Excel, and other data analysis tools.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment and adapt to new challenges with agility.
  • High ethical standards, sound judgment, and a collaborative spirit.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
