Technical Program Manager - Body

At Slate, we've got one job : building a vehicle you'll fall in love with, right here in the USA. We believe that car buyers not car companies should call the shots. We like looking at a road, not a screen. We don't like paying for stuff we don't need. We like picking out the stuff we do need. We think dings are badges, not blemishes. But we know not everyone likes what we like. So, we built you a Slate : you make it yours.

The Technical Program Manager, Body will be leading strategic and operational initiatives across the Body assembly process, with a focus on budget forecasting, ERP, digital tools, training programs, and long-term planning.

This role is based out of our Manufacturing Facility in Warsaw, Indiana and will have cross-functional communication with our teams in Troy, MI.

• Project Management : Lead coordination with cross-functional teams to deliver projects within defined scope, quality, time, and cost requirements.
