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 an energetic and organized Material / Inventory Analyst to join our growing team.

As a Material / Inventory Analyst, you will be responsible for overseeing the planning, purchasing, and inventory of service parts and accessories to ensure availability to Slate’s end customers, Service Partners, and delivery hub locations. You will work cross functionally with the Sales Inventory and Operations Planning (SI&OP) team, Slate’s warehouse / 3PL, Purchasing, and our suppliers.

You will be responsible for inventory planning of Service Parts and Accessories to optimize stocking levels of all parts in your portfolio.

WHAT YOU GET TO DO

Collaborate with the Sales Inventory and Operations Planning (SI&OP) team to understand the requirements of your portfolio of parts.

Monitor parts inventory levels and work collaboratively with suppliers on expediting and de-expediting orders based on actual orders received. Devise and implement parts level strategies and procedures to drive efficient inventory control, leading to optimized inventory levels. Own the tactical (day-to-day) supplier relationships while fostering long-term partnerships.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Material Management, Material Analytics, Operations, or equivalent is preferred.
• While a degree is preferred, we value hands-on experience and a proven track record of success as a suitable substitute and encourage candidates to apply who can demonstrate relevant and commensurate professional experience.
• 3+ years of experience in Supply Chain, Logistics, or Business Management, preferably working in Material Management.
• Strong analytical skills, with sufficient understanding of basic and advanced material management processes and practices.
• Proficiency in ERP Systems and Project Management tools.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and/or other data analysis tools, such as SmartSheets, Tableau, Alteryx, or other scripting tools.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with an understanding of how to present complex data in easily understood ways to multiple levels with the business.
• Strong problem solving capabilities, with attention to detail.
• Comfortable in start-up environments.
• You can roll up your sleeves to do the work and build, or recommend the tools needed to be successful as the company grows.
• A proactive, one company teammate with a continuous improvement approach, equally comfortable with warehousing practices, material management, business planning, and financial implications.
• Capability to work cross-functionally with external partners and internal teams, building strong relationships that produce positive results.
