What to Expect
In this role, you will serve as the Data Analyst supporting Material Planning department. You will be the go-to expert for supply and demand planning analytics, multi-tier supply visibility, and operational reporting. You will be responsible for building tools, platforms, and automated pipelines that provide real-time visibility into gating supply chains, enable supply simulations, and drive operational excellence across planning workflows. Working at the intersection of data engineering and analytics, you will design and deploy containerized applications, orchestrate data pipelines, and build frontend platforms that empower stakeholders to make faster, better-informed decisions. The ideal candidate is a proactive and technically versatile analyst who thrives on automating manual workflows, building scalable tools, and solving complex supply chain problems with data.
