Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in supply chain analytics, FP&A, or operations analytics, ideally in packaging, manufacturing, or CPG/food.

• Produce and validate the weekly in-week demand forecast across all NA brands (HelloFresh, EveryPlate, Green Chef, Factor), driving packaging material ordering and procurement decisions
• Lead PKG spend analytics — weekly and month-end (MEC) budget vs. expected vs. actuals, variance investigations, and driving corrective actions with ops partners
• Own the translation of packaging engineering configurations and network fulfillment requirements into a packaging forecast at all time horizons, leveraged in budgeting cycles, planning cycles, and week-to-week ordering. Measure and improve accuracy through budget cycles and ad hoc scenarios.
• Maintain and evolve the packaging scripts codebase (Databricks, Airflow, Python, Snowflake) and core planning tools (Packaging Allocator, ODL/ADL files)
• Conduct cost and supply impact analyses for packaging launches and transitions — new SKU introductions, format changes, fulfillment network shifts and supplier transitions
