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.

This role will be responsible for improving how we manage data, systems, dashboards, and workflows—helping us operate with greater efficiency, clarity, and agility.

Data Management & Governance 

  • Lead master data management for vendors, materials, items, and categories.
  • Ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality of supply chain data.
  • Define standards for documentation, file storage, and version control.
  • Process Improvement & Change Management 
  • Identify inefficiencies and lead process improvement initiatives across purchasing and supply chain. 
  • Apply structured problem-solving to root cause issues and improve workflows.
  • Lead training, communication, and adoption of new processes and tools.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration 
  • Partner with procurement, operations, logistics, and finance to align system and process capabilities with business needs.
  • Act as a bridge between functional teams, ensuring technology solutions meet operational requirements.
  • Provide executive-level visibility through metrics, dashboards, and improvement roadmaps. 

 

| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • Bachelor’s in supply chain, Business, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; Master’s preferred.
  • 5-10 years of experience in supply chain operations, purchasing, systems, or analytics.
  • Strong knowledge of ERP platforms and supply chain technologies. 
  • Experience with data visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.).
  • Proficiency in SQL, Excel, or similar tools for data management and analysis.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional projects and system implementations.
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to translate technical concepts into business outcomes.

Key Competencies

  • Builder mindset: creates scalable processes and tools in a pragmatic way.
  • Data-driven thinker: leverages analytics to improve decision-making and outcomes.
  • Structured yet agile: balances rigor with startup speed.
  • Problem-solver identifies inefficiencies, manages risks, and delivers solutions. 
  • Collaborative connector: unites teams across supply chain and business functions.
  • Scalability: Handling large datasets efficiently within a database environment and being able to scale as the data and organization grows

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
