Director of Cybersecurity

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 We are hiring a Director of Cybersecurity to own security and security compliance across all of Slate.

This is a company-wide program, not a corporate IT function. You will set the strategy, roadmap, and standards that protect our people, our data, our factory, our customers, and the truck itself, and you will build the team and partnerships to carry it out. You will work across every part of the business: corporate IT, software engineering, enterprise systems, manufacturing systems, data, vehicle engineering, legal, finance, and our external partners.

The job is to make security a capability that helps Slate ship faster and with confidence, not a gate that slows it down. You will inherit early foundations, including a team, a NIST CSF 2.0 self-assessment, a managed detection and response plan, and baseline security policies, and turn them into a mature, measurable program that holds up to auditors, regulators, partners, and the board. WHAT YOU GET TO DO Security strategy and governance.
