Opportunity

The Senior Supply Chain Alignment Analyst is responsible for managing day-to-day supply chain operations, with a strong emphasis on collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment for key accounts. This role supports end-to-end inventory and replenishment processes, ensuring optimal product availability and service levels.

Working cross-functionally with U.S. Supply Chain, S&OP, and Customer Service teams, the analyst will drive on-time, in-full (LOTIF) order fulfillment. A key aspect of the role involves leveraging data analytics to generate insights that inform demand planning, inventory optimization, and customer collaboration strategies.

The ideal candidate will bring exceptional analytical capabilities, strong business acumen, and excellent communication skills. Success in this role requires the ability to work independently within broad guidelines, manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the supply chain.

Specific Responsibilities

• Support and execute strategies to enhance operational efficiency across key areas, including Order Fulfillment, Customer Self-Service, Operational Alignment & Execution, and Supply Chain Cost as a Percentage of Net Sales.
• Analyze sell-in and sell-out trends to align future demand with market dynamics and customer behavior.
• Develop a deep understanding of customer operations to anticipate needs and deliver tailored supply chain solutions.
• Identify, collect, and interpret relevant data to support root cause analysis and resolve issues impacting inventory levels and in-stock performance.
• Lead collaborative forecasting efforts by investigating demand variances, developing corrective action plans, and presenting findings to customers.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing to gather insights and generate demand plans that support promotional activities and product launches.
• Proactively identify and prioritize customer-specific improvement opportunities, developing action plans to optimize processes and eliminate non-value-added activities.
• Utilize advanced data analytics to report on key performance indicators such as sales trends, inventory levels, order patterns, stock coverage (Days/Weeks of Supply), late orders, and shortages.
• Design and maintain insightful reports and dashboards to communicate trends in lead times, open orders, and past due shipments to internal stakeholders and customers.
• Collaborate with Supply Planning and Operations teams to ensure timely inventory allocation and product availability.
• Work closely with Customer Service, Logistics, and Operations to ensure fulfillment of priority and late orders.
• Contribute to high-impact projects for Kohler Canada, including freight optimization, inventory reduction, and direct import initiatives. Own project scopes, timelines, and outcomes, ensuring measurable results aligned with business goals.
• Analyze demand/supply imbalances and coordinate with Manufacturing, S&OP, and the Canadian Sales Team to develop solutions that serve both Kohler Canada and customer interests.
• Prioritize workload effectively to focus on high-impact deliverables. Apply supply chain expertise to drive service improvements and simplify complex analyses into actionable insights.
