Together with our Data Engineering and Data Science colleagues, we make data a strategic lever to achieve H&B's goals.

As a Supply Chain Analyst in the Core Business Analytics team, you\'ll partner with stakeholders across Supply Chain Planning, Logistics, Commercial, and DC Operations to deliver insights that improve availability, efficiency, and inventory quality.

• Deliver ad-hoc analysis on forecast accuracy, inbound flow, and stock availability to support supply decisions.
• Collaborate across Supply Chain, BI, and Commercial teams to create scalable data products.
• Contribute to sprint planning and backlog prioritisation within the Supply Chain analytics roadmap.

Location

This is a hybrid role, with 2 days per week expected in either our London or Nuneaton office.

The Person

• SQL proficiency: Comfortable querying, joining, and transforming large datasets from operations, inventory, and supply planning sources.
• Supply chain awareness: Familiar with concepts like demand forecasting, DC operations, inbound flow, stock availability, and network planning.
• Communication: Able to translate operational data into insight that's usable by planners, logistics, and commercial teams.
• Delivery ownership: Manages projects or tasks reliably through agile delivery cycles.
• Visualisation skills: Designs clean, usable dashboards in Metabase (or experience with equivalent tools like Tableau, Looker, PowerBI).
• Collaborative mindset: Works well in cross-functional environments and contributes to team delivery.
• Education & Experience: You have a degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or Supply Chain, and 2-4 years of experience in a data or analytics role—preferably in supply chain, retail operations, or forecasting.
