Job Description

Responsibilities

Execute the merchandising strategy across the ecommerce experience, keeping product storytelling consistent and on-brand on every page you touch.
Maintain the accessory, wrap, and merchandise catalog in Akeneo, our primary PIM, and flag gaps in data quality and consistency as you find them.
Apply the field-level standards that govern our digital shelf: title formats, character limits, required attributes, and image specs. Hold your own work to them.
Work with product managers across accessories, wraps, and merchandise to gather the catalog inputs each launch needs.
Own the hands-on work of product setup and launch: data entry, digital asset coordination, and getting SKUs live on schedule.
QA English and Spanish product content for accuracy (translation service is in place).
Leverage AI to maximize efficiency and output quality across catalog tasks, documentation, and content review.
Build and update product pages, collection layouts, and featured placements to support go-to-market moments, launches, and seasonal pushes.
Pull and report on product performance data (traffic, engagement, conversion), flagging what's working and what isn't.
Log site issues and improvement ideas for UX and engineering, with the detail they need to act on them.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, merchandising, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
3–5 years in ecommerce merchandising, catalog management, or product content operations.
Experience owning a product category or workstream end-to-end with light oversight.
Hands-on experience in a PIM or CMS. Akeneo is our primary PIM and is preferred, but we'll train the right person on it.
Comfortable with variant-heavy catalogs across hard goods and soft goods: vehicle fitment, colorways, and size/color grids.
You follow SOPs closely and speak up when one needs fixing.
Serious attention to detail, and comfort with high-volume structured data work.
Organized self-starter who juggles competing deadlines and asks good questions early.
Excellent communicator who works easily across creative, technical, and commercial teams.
Strong in Excel and familiar with Google Analytics, Looker, or similar reporting tools.

Preferred

Familiarity with Claude AI, Cowork, or Claude Code is a plus.

Slate offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k.

Slate Auto

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.
