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

We are seeking a Supply Chain Systems & Analytics Lead to drive process excellence and technology enablement within our Purchasing & Supply Chain organization. This role will be responsible for improving how we manage data, systems, dashboards, and workflows—helping us operate with greater efficiency, clarity, and agility. The Supply Chain Systems & Analytics Lead will be both a builder and an enabler: creating scalable tools and processes where they don't exist, while ensuring alignment across purchasing, planning, logistics, and finance. This leader thrives in a dynamic environment, balancing structured process discipline with startup agility.

| WHAT YOU GET TO DO

Systems & Technology Enablement

  • Serve as subject matter expert for supply chain systems (ERP, sourcing, purchasing, planning tools).
  • Partner with IT to define, test, and deploy enhancements or new solutions.
  • Implement automation, workflows, and reporting improvements to reduce manual effort.

Analytics & Dashboards

  • Design, build, and maintain dashboards that provide visibility into supplier performance, cost, lead times, and inventory.
  • Establish and track KPIs that drive supply chain efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Ensure dashboards and reporting are accessible, reliable, and actionable for stakeholders.

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
