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 servant-minded Corporate Controller who leads with integrity, collaboration, and accountability. You combine technical excellence with a people-first approach-building strong teams, improving processes, and ensuring financial accuracy and compliance. As a trusted partner to the CFO, you'll guide all accounting and control activities while fostering a culture of trust, transparency, and continuous improvement.

| WHAT YOU GET TO DO

As Slate's Corporate Controller , you'll oversee all accounting and control activities, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of financial reporting. You'll lead compliance with regulatory standards, support strategic decision-making through analysis and management reporting, and build and develop our exceptional accounting team. This senior leadership role reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and plays a key part in strengthening Slate's financial foundation as we continue to grow.

  • Financial Oversight : Lead company-wide accounting, consolidation, and financial reporting operations, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and compliance with U.S. GAAP and SEC requirements.
  • Reporting & Compliance : Deliver timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements; ensure adherence to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), tax, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Internal Controls : Design, implement, and monitor robust internal controls and financial policies that safeguard company assets and uphold financial integrity.
  • Technical Accounting : Lead the research, documentation, and application of complex accounting standards and technical accounting matters.
  • Audit & Governance : Serve as primary liaison with external auditors; manage annual audits and quarterly reviews, addressing findings and ensuring continuous improvement.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with FP&A, Treasury, Tax, Legal, Operations, and executive leadership to align financial operations with strategic goals and drive business performance.
  • Process & Systems Optimization : Champion process automation and ERP enhancements, leveraging AI and emerging technologies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and reporting speed.
  • Financial Insight : Monitor and report on key financial KPIs, providing actionable insights to support strategic decision-making and operational efficiency.
  • Leadership & Development : Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing accounting and finance team through a servant leadership approach that fosters accountability, learning, and continuous improvement.
  • Continuous Improvement : Identify and implement best practices to streamline workflows, strengthen financial controls, and enhance transparency across the organization.

| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA required, CMA or MBA a strong plus.
  • 15+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, including leadership roles in corporate controllership or public accounting.
  • Deep understanding of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience in high-growth environments or startups, ideally in manufacturing, technology, or industrial sectors.
  • Proven ability to lead and scale finance teams, implement systems, and build corporate infrastructure from the ground up.
  • Strong command of financial systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and advanced Excel or data analytics tools.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a collaborative, cross-functional mindset.
  • A strategic thinker with the ability to operate both at a high level and in the details, anticipating risks and business needs before they arise.
  • Demonstrated experience acting as a business partner to executive teams and board-level stakeholders.
