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.

  • Partner with HR Business Partners and CoEs (Total Rewards, Talent, and TA) to deliver consistent HR services.
  • Help resolve employee inquiries with a focus on positive employee experience and effective escalation.

Projects & Continuous Improvement

  • Contribute to HR operations projects such as process standardization, onboarding enhancements, and policy updates.
  • Support change management and communication efforts for HR initiatives.
  • Recommend process and documentation improvements to elevate HR service delivery.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • Bachelor's degree in human resources, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 5-8 years of progressive HR operations or HR services experience.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. employment laws and HR compliance.
