[Remote] Supply Chain Systems Product Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Slate Auto is committed to building safe and reliable vehicles in the USA. They are seeking a Supply Chain Systems Product Manager to lead the product layer for warehouse and transportation management systems, partnering with supply chain leadership to enhance operational capabilities and ensure effective integration and user experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the WMS Build: Lead the product roadmap for Slate’s WMS capability across plants, DCs, and satellite locations, including inbound receiving, put-away, slotting, inventory management, picking, packing, shipping, and yard management
• Define the TMS Capability: Lead the discovery and definition of Slate’s transportation management capability, including requirements gathering, vendor evaluation, business case, and the roadmap that gets Slate from a defined need to a deployed system
• Architect WMS and TMS Integration: Design the integrations that connect warehouse and transportation management to the ERP financial layer, the MES production layer, and the carrier and 3PL ecosystem, ensuring inventory accuracy and end-to-end traceability across the supply chain
• Design Inbound and Outbound Workflows: Define the user experience and operational workflows for warehouse operators, planners, dispatchers, and carriers, prioritizing system-driven execution over operator-level decision-making
• Partner with Supply Chain Leadership: Be the primary product partner to the Head of Supply Chain, plant logistics leaders, and the carrier and 3PL ecosystem, translating supply chain priorities into platform capability
• Drive Product Discovery: Live with the receivers, pickers, shippers, planners, and dispatchers who use these systems, surface the friction, and translate it into a backlog of high-leverage improvements
• Deliver End to End: Own the product from discovery through configuration, testing, training, cutover, and steady-state operation for new sites, new flows, and new capabilities as Slate scales

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Supply Chain, or a related field is required
• 15+ years of product management, technical program management, or solutions architecture experience delivering enterprise WMS, TMS, and supply chain systems in manufacturing or distribution environments
• Direct hands-on experience leading enterprise WMS implementations end to end, including inbound, outbound, yard, slotting, wave management, LPN and lot or batch handling, and integration with ERP and MES
• Working knowledge of enterprise TMS capabilities, including carrier management, freight tendering, shipment optimization, multi-leg shipment scenarios, and EDI or API carrier integrations
• Track record designing WMS and TMS integrations across the ERP, MES, and order management stack, including item master, inventory, sales order, and shipment flows
• Direct exposure to the shop floor of the warehouse, comfortable working with operators, planners, and dispatchers in their environment, with credibility built on time spent on the dock
• Experience running product discovery, roadmap planning, and backlog management in an agile environment, with the instincts to balance user research against delivery pace
• You see the company as a series of interconnected loops. You understand how a delay at the inbound dock ripples through inventory, manufacturing, and ultimately the customer's delivery date
• You know that 'perfect is the enemy of shipped.' You can stand up a minimum viable WMS today while architecting for the freight, fleet, and network scale Slate will need at OEM operations tomorrow
• You are skilled at managing stakeholders with competing priorities, including the productive tension between supply chain teams that want speed and operators who need workflows that do not break
• You are bilingual between warehouse and transportation operators and the systems that orchestrate them, equally credible explaining a slotting rule to a forklift driver and a wave strategy to a planner
• 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
