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.\nWho we are looking for:\nWe are looking for an eCommerce Merchandising Specialist with a customer-first approach to help expand our accessory, wrap, and merchandise product catalog for Slate Auto. Reporting to the eCommerce Merchandising Lead, you will execute the digital shelf strategy day to day: building out product content in our PIM, coordinating digital assets, and getting new products live on time and accurate. You will work closely with the digital, design, marketing, commercial, and product teams to showcase our accessories, wraps, and merchandise in compelling, conversion-driven ways. You must be able to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where your work shows up in the storefront the day it ships, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities.\nWhat you get to do:\nExecute the merchandising strategy across the ecommerce experience, keeping product storytelling consistent and on-brand on every page you touch.\n\nMaintain the accessory, wrap, and merchandise catalog in Akeneo, our primary PIM, and flag gaps in data quality and consistency as you find them.\n\nApply the field-level standards that govern our digital shelf: title formats, character limits, required attributes, and image specs. Hold your own work to them.\n\nWork with product managers across accessories, wraps, and merchandise to gather the catalog inputs each launch needs.\n\nOwn the hands-on work of product setup and launch: data entry, digital asset coordination, and getting SKUs live on schedule.\n\nQA English and Spanish product content for accuracy (translation service is in place).\n\nLeverage AI to maximize efficiency and output quality across catalog tasks, documentation, and content review.\n\nBuild and update product pages, collection layouts, and featured placements to support go-to-market moments, launches, and seasonal pushes.\n\nPull and report on product performance data (traffic, engagement, conversion), flagging what's working and what isn't.\n\nLog site issues and improvement ideas for UX and engineering, with the detail they need to act on them.\n\nTravel between Slate office sites (5-10% average) to support team and project work.\n\nHave a lot of fun working on a dynamic and engaging team with a seat at the table.\n\nWhat you bring to the team:\nBachelor's degree in business, marketing, merchandising, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\n\n3-5 years in ecommerce merchandising, catalog management, or product content operations.\n\nExperience owning a product category or workstream end-to-end with light oversight.\n\nHands-on experience in a PIM or CMS. Akeneo is our primary PIM and is preferred, but we'll train the right person on it.\n\nComfortable with variant-heavy catalogs across hard goods and soft goods: vehicle fitment, colorways, and size/color grids.\n\nYou follow SOPs closely and speak up when one needs fixing.\n\nSerious attention to detail, and comfort with high-volume structured data work.\n\nOrganized self-starter who juggles competing deadlines and asks good questions early.\n\nFamiliarity with Claude AI, Cowork, or Claude Code is a plus.\n\nExcellent communicator who works easily across creative, technical, and commercial teams.\n\nStrong in Excel and familiar with Google Analytics, Looker, or similar reporting tools.\n\nPassion for consumer products and an eye for how product presentation influences purchase behavior.\n\nSALARY RANGE\nThe compensation for this position is the range Slate reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; work location; and other relevant business and organizational factors.\nAnnual Base Pay Range: $75,000 - $104,000 USD\nADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS\nSlate offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k. The successful candidate may also be eligible to participate in the equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs.\nWORK AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT\nApplicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time.\nWHY JOIN TEAM SLATE?\nAt Slate, we’re fueled by grit, determination, and attention to detail. The start-up spirit of ingenuity and resourcefulness move our business forward. Team Slate fosters a culture of excellence, innovation, and mutual respect, and is motivated by shared principles.\nSafety First\n\nDelight Customers\n\nOne Team\n\nRelentless Improvement\n\nFast, Frugal, and Scrappy\n\nRespectful Collaboration\n\nPositive Legacy\n\nWE WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT REFLECT THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE.\nSlate is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
