Order and Delivery Operation Manager

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.

You will allocate vehicles to appropriate delivery hubs to meet our consumer and fleet needs.

Finally, you will work with our delivery partners on parts orders for any issues found with the vehicle post-transportation or Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI).
