• Build predictive, prescriptive, and optimization models for forecasting, inventory risk, supply constraints, service performance, and exception detection using AI, automation, and self-service solutions to drive decision quality and speed
• Perform exploratory analysis, root-cause analysis, data validation, feature development, and performance measurement to support business solutions
• Develop scenario and simulation models to quantify tradeoffs across service, cost, inventory, and risk
• Translate supply chain and business problems into scalable analytical solutions embedded in processes and systems
• Partner with IT, planning, operations, and finance teams to improve data flows, reporting structures, planning system outputs, and analytical tools used throughout our planning processes
• Clearly communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders through visualizations, recommendations, and business insights
• Improve data quality, metric consistency, and analytical rigor across the planning organization

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ambiguous business questions into practical solutions
• Experience working with large, complex datasets and building clear analytical recommendations and outputs
• Skill and interest in AI-enabled workflows and production deployments
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts and model outputs to business and executive stakeholders
• Working in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a high degree of ownership and a builder mindset

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in supply chain, operations, logistics, retail, CPG, and automotive
• Experience with statistical analysis, optimization, anomaly detection, predictive modeling, scenario modeling, or machine learning
• Experience supporting global or multi-region business operations

Culture & values

• Bias for Action: We favor delivering usable insights quickly over endless analysis.
• Show You Care: We operate with empathy, integrity, and a collaborative spirit.
• Action vs. Activity: Results — not busyness — drive recognition and advancement.

• Executive Visibility: Work directly with executive leaders on strategic, high-impact initiatives.
