About The Team

The Supply Chain Strategy team is a world‑class community of analysts who work in a collaborative environment that leverages a variety of strategic and technical skillsets to help drive CarMax's supply chain operations. CarMax's supply chain business is undergoing an exciting transformation focused on optimizing how we acquire, recondition, and move vehicles which is helping us extend our market leadership while positioning us for future growth. The Supply Chain Strategy team is at the center of this transformation, serving as thought leaders who provide strategic direction and data‑driven insights that guide decision‑making across our supply chain operations.

About The Role

CarMax sources hundreds of thousands of vehicles each year through consumer purchases, auctions, and other channels. Each vehicle goes through a complex journey from acquisition through reconditioning and logistics before it's ready to be sold to customers.

• Logistics Strategy – Works to optimize vehicle movement throughout our network and balance the tradeoff of cost and speed
• Service Operations Strategy – Works to enhance reconditioning operations, ensuring vehicles are prepared efficiently and to quality standards that support customer satisfaction
