Corporate FP&A Analyst-Business Partnering

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 detail-oriented Corporate FP&A Analyst to provide support as a business partner to Slate’s G&A functions. In this role, you will own forecast updates in partnership with department leaders, help them interpret and manage their budgets, and provide meaningful financial insights that guide smart decision-making.

The ideal candidate is both financially and operationally savvy—comfortable moving between the details of a cost center forecast and a strategic conversation about headcount, vendor spend, or departmental tradeoffs. You'll be part of a collaborative Corporate FP&A team that supports leadership across the company and contributes to a strong planning and performance culture.

WHAT YOU GET TO DO

• Support the FP&A team and G&A department leaders in maintaining functional forecasts, budgets, and monthly updates.
• Assist in developing and producing forecast summary and KPI reporting for senior management.
• Help business partners understand their performance against budget, including drivers of variance, key risks, and opportunities.
• Support department-level planning, including headcount and operating expenses.
• Support departmental leaders in making financially informed decisions that align with corporate goals.
• Contribute to company-wide financial processes such as annual planning, monthly forecast cycles, and close support.
• Collaborate with the broader FP&A team to improve tools, processes, and financial visibility across the organization.
• Support ongoing adoption and use of planning tools such as Workday Adaptive Planning, ensuring accuracy and consistency of G&A data.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

• 4+ years of experience in FP&A or finance business partnering roles.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Strong understanding of G&A functions and the role finance plays in supporting operational decision-making.
• Experience supporting department-level forecasting, budgeting, and headcount planning.
• Proven ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to build trusted relationships with business partners.
• Familiarity with planning tools; exposure to Workday Adaptive Planning is a plus.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., SAP) and a solid grasp of forecasting workflows.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and priorities.
• WHY JOIN TEAM SLATE?
• At 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.
