Zusammenfassung

Slate seeks a Product Manager to lead its accessories portfolio and drive end‑to‑end lifecycle in a fast‑paced startup setting. You will translate customer needs into market‑ready products, collaborating with Brand, Design, Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure timely, on‑budget launches that reinforce our brand expression.

You will own product strategy, defend business cases with data, and manage trade‑offs while partnering on licensing and reseller agreements.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, engineering, or equivalent. MS/MBA a plus.
• 6+ years of experience in hardware products and programs, preferably automotive/power sports accessories, lifestyle accessories, engineering, or product development.
• Proven track record of taking products from concept to creation, with strong project management, analytical, and communication skills.
• 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 engineering details and business planning.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you define the problem, not just the solution — and able to influence senior stakeholders and raise the bar for PMs around you without formal authority.
• Capability to work cross‑functionally with partners, suppliers, and vendors, building strong relationships that produce positive results.
• An ability to be an effective brand representative and ambassador to the Slate community, both presenting the Slate vision and collecting input that leads to future accessories development.

Aufgaben

• Obsess over enabling world‑class personalization for our customers by bringing products to market.
• Use strategic and quantitative analysis to build and defend the business case for new products, assign features and specs, own trade‑off decisions, and lead business execution.
• Own a category of the accessories portfolio end to end — performance, customer satisfaction, and company impact.
• Conduct market studies and keep product offerings fresh with our customer base.
• Execute and improve the product development process, then manage the end-to-end cycle of approved products on the line plan, including product sunset management.
• Lead cross‑functional execution across Design, Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, Brand, and Commercial teams to ensure Slate accessories are inspiring, on time, and on budget.
• Partner with Brand and Legal teams to secure product licensing and reseller agreements.
• Create presentations and documentation and present to cross‑functional leadership, including product updates and recommendations. We share the spotlight!
• Travel to suppliers and Slate office sites (10–25% average) to support team and project work.
• Have a lot of fun working on a dynamic and engaging team with a seat at the table.
