CarMax, the way your career should be!

About The Team

The Supply Strategy team is a community of analysts with a variety of strategic and technical skillsets. We work together to continually improve CarMax’s ability to optimize the acquisition, movement, and reconditioning of each of the over 900,000 vehicles we sold to retail customers last year, as well as optimizing our auctions for the over 700,000 wholesale cars we sold to other dealers.

Our team tackles complex problems while striving to be a great representation of CarMax’s 4 core values:

Do the Right Thing: We prioritize maintaining the culture of integrity which has set CarMax apart in the used car industry, and promote a respectful and inclusive environment at work.

Put People First: We’re focused on nurturing associate development and on maintaining a healthy work culture, while also making sure our customers are offered a great experience.

Win Together: Teamwork is essential to what we do; we regularly learn from each other and draw on each other’s expertise and perspectives.

Go for Greatness: We continually improve our abilities and the products that we support, to reinforce CarMax’s position as an industry leader.

About The Role

CarMax relies on our supply chain as a key differentiator. Key questions include how many cars we should acquire, which acquisition channels we should prioritize, how to optimize those channels, how to efficiently move millions of cars a year, when and where to recondition those vehicles, how to best allocate the retail cars across our 200+ stores, and how to maximize profitability in our auctions for our wholesale cars. Doing so ensures that we have the right cars at the right prices in the right location to meet our retail and wholesale customers’ needs. As we continue to innovate our business and shift more of our buying and selling online, we increasingly need to answer those questions quickly with less human intervention. Our team of business analysts play a critical role in unlocking the business value from these innovations by partnering closely with our Operations and Product/Technology business partners.

What You Will Do – Essential Responsibilities

Some of our roles lean towards partnering more closely with the Product organization and serving as product analyst, whereas others lean towards partnering more closely with Field Operations organization and serving as an operational analyst. In either of those roles, a successful senior strategy analyst would:

• Be an analytic partner and establish a close working relationship with a product manager or our operational partners
• Design and analyze tests to evaluate effectiveness of changes to our products or operational changes
• Enhance analytical tools, such as models, reports, and dashboards, utilizing them to monitor performance and drive ongoing performance

Qualifications and Requirements

Ability to consistently deliver at a high level on the responsibilities listed above. Requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge and skills required:

• 2+ years’ experience in an analytical or strategic role
• Four-year undergraduate degree with strong academic performance
• Experience conducting large scale data analysis to support conclusions, and a willingness to gain proficiency in data analysis tools such as SQL, or Tableau
• Ability to communicate complex topics to people with varying backgrounds and levels of technical familiarity
• Willingness and enthusiasm to collaborate with a team of passionate analysts and business partners who are regularly shaping strategy at a big-picture and a detailed level

Work Location and Arrangement

This role will be based out of the Richmond, VA Home Office and has a Hybrid work arrangement.

Work Authorization

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. Sponsorship will not be considered for this specific role.
