The posting

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 seeking a technically sharp, detail-obsessed Service Parts Catalog Specialist who thrives in a structured workflow and takes pride in data accuracy. You are someone who understands automotive systems from the ground up and knows that a part doesn't make it to a customer's hands until the data behind it is right. You receive handoffs from service parts engineering and make them count — populating attributes precisely, applying AutoCare PIES naming standards autonomously, and controlling exactly when parts enter or exit the online catalog. You are the last line of quality before a part goes live, and you take that responsibility seriously.

WHAT YOU GET TO DO

Parts Attribution & PIM System Management

  • Receive service part handoffs from engineering and execute final attribution and implementation.
  • Audit part records for completeness and accuracy against attribution standards before any catalog action is taken.
  • Identify and resolve data gaps, conflicts, or outdated attribute information in existing records.

PIES Standards & Naming Conventions

  • Apply AutoCare Association PIES standards to all service part records independently, including all required segment data elements such as PartNumber, BrandAAIAID, HazardousMaterialCode, and QuantityPerApplication.
  • Make autonomous naming convention decisions for incoming parts based on category, function, and OEM specification — in full alignment with PIES requirements.
  • Maintain and evolve internal naming convention documentation; partner with e-commerce teams to balance PIES compliance with catalog discoverability.
  • Stay current with AutoCare Association standards updates and implement changes to internal workflows proactively.

Catalog Publication Gating & Lifecycle Execution

  • Serve as the gatekeeper controlling when service parts are published to or suppressed from the online catalog, evaluating each part against:Stock disposition and inventory availability. Obsolescence status and supersession chains. Interchangeability and cross-reference validity. Attribute completeness thresholds.
  • Execute formal catalog part release, update, and removal workflows with correct timing and a complete audit trail.
  • Manage obsolete, superseded, and interchangeable part records to ensure customers are always directed to the correct service solution.
  • Monitor catalog health metrics — listing completeness, suppression rates, time-to-publish — and report status on a defined cadence.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • A degree in Automotive Technology, Business, Information Systems, or a related field is preferred, but not required. Equivalent technical training or relevant experience will also be considered.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in automotive parts data management, catalog operations, or a closely related field within an OEM, Tier 1 supplier, or large distributor environment.
  • Deep, working knowledge of automotive systems and components across a broad range of platforms — powertrain, chassis, electrical, HVAC, body, and accessory systems — sufficient to make parts identification and naming decisions without engineering oversight.
  • Direct experience with AutoCare Association PIES standards; ability to independently interpret and apply standard requirements, including all required data segment elements.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience in a PIM system (Akeneo, Salsify, Informatica, Stibo STEP, or comparable platform).
  • Proven experience managing parts lifecycle data — obsolescence, supersession, and interchange relationships — and making sound, autonomous decisions about catalog readiness.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel or comparable data tools for bulk data validation, manipulation, and reporting.
  • High attention to detail with a commitment to clean, accurate, and well-structured data.
  • Strong written communication skills; able to document naming decisions, standards, and workflows with precision.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering, service, supply chain, and customer support.
  • Highly adaptable, excelling in fast-paced start-up and new model launch environments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Must have the ability to travel (up to 10%).
  • Must have the ability to lift up to 35 pounds.Must have the ability to stand, walk, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
