Supply Chain Analyst

Job Summary

As a Supply Chain Analyst, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how our distribution network serves customers every day. This isn’t just analysis—it’s high‑impact network modeling that directly influences customer experience and business performance. You’ll build and interpret optimization models that balance freight, labor, inventory, and transportation costs with customer fill rate expectations—ensuring the right products are in the right place at the right time while minimizing total costs across the enterprise.

Working hands‑on with advanced tools like Coupa Supply Chain Modeler, Alteryx, Tableau, and SQL, you’ll translate complex scenarios into actionable strategies that improve service reliability, responsiveness, and efficiency.

Beyond the numbers, this role offers unmatched visibility and influence. You’ll collaborate with Sales, Product Divisions, Operations, and Inventory Management to connect commercial priorities with operational realities. Your insights will guide strategic decisions—from network footprint changes and inventory policies to long‑term design choices that position the business for future growth. You’ll lead initiatives that deliver measurable cost savings and fill rate improvements, present findings to senior leaders, and turn data into decisions that stick.

If you’re looking for a seat at the table where analytics, customer experience, and strategy come together, this is it.
