Head of Enterprise Systems
- Oversee Architecture: Lead ongoing evaluation, design, and implementation of our core tech stack, including ERP (Finance), WMS (Warehouse), MES (Manufacturing Execution), Procurement systems, and more.
- Bridge the Physical & Digital: Design the end-to-end processes that connect supply chain logistics to the factory floor, ensuring seamless data flow between manufacturing hardware and enterprise software.
- Buy vs. Build Strategy: Make high-stakes calls on when to deploy industry-standard platforms (like SAP or NetSuite) versus when to build proprietary software to give Slate a competitive edge.
- Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the primary partner to the CFO, Head of Supply Chain, Head of Manufacturing, and more to translate business requirements into technical workflows.
- Process Engineering: You aren't just "installing software"—you are designing the business processes (Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Plan-to-Produce) that will define how Slate operates.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is required. Master's degree is preferred.
- Experience: 15+ years of experience in Enterprise Systems / IT leadership, specifically within manufacturing, automotive, or complex hardware environments.
- Lifecycle Mastery: Proven experience leading full-cycle implementations of major ERP or MES platforms.
- Process Expertise: Deep knowledge of supply chain logistics, inventory management (WMS), and shop-floor control systems.
- Integration Fluency: Understanding of how to connect disparate systems via APIs, middleware, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar frameworks.
- Scaling Experience: Experience transitioning a company from early-stage / scrappy systems to enterprise-grade, SOX-compliant infrastructure.
- Systems Thinker: You see the company as a series of interconnected loops. You understand how a delay in procurement ripples through the MES and eventually hits the financial ledger.
- Pragmatic Visionary: You know that "perfect is the enemy of shipped." You can implement a "Minimum Viable ERP" today while planning for a global scale-up tomorrow.
- Diplomat: You are skilled at managing stakeholders with competing priorities, helping them find common ground on process and data standards.
- Technical Leader: You are comfortable managing both functional consultants and software developers, ensuring that custom integrations are robust and maintainable.
- Must have the ability to travel (up to 25%).
- Must have the ability to lift up to 35 pounds.
- Must have the ability to stand, walk, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
