Job Description
This Analyst role works with the Supply Chain workstream to understand key performance metrics, identify and quantify root causes of inventory insufficiency, and provide data-driven insights to support recovery execution and cross-functional decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Own measurement for Supply Chain root causes (charter metrics); analyze forecast bias/error vs sales, store orders vs replenishment plan, on-hand adherence to minimum stock, and inventory sufficiency to plan
- Collaborate on Supply Chain dashboards and recurring reports to deliver daily/weekly sufficiency reports by DC, planned vs actual inventory variance, and consumption/forecast consumption accuracy reporting
- Identify and quantify insufficiency drivers; analyze recurring failures across warehouses, vendors, and commodities; isolate systemic vs event-based causes (capacity constraints, vendor cuts/late deliveries, short buys/late PO release, promo lift/baseline misalignment, item setup/parameters)
- Support recovery execution forums; provide inputs for "insufficient POV & commodities" reviews, quantify OvS impacts by division, and track recovery actions (including coordination needs such as "hot loads")
- Prepare vendor/merch escalation analytics; develop evidence packages to trigger escalation mechanisms for vendor-related issues (service failures, MAP/allocation constraints, substitution/deactivation impacts)
- Support ORAD, OTIF transition; ensure new OTIF reporting logic is clean and can be ingested into the Executive Scorecard
- Support assortment/DC slotting analytics; analyze impacts of minimum store count thresholds on DC efficiency and shelf holding power
- Monitor data quality and parameter governance; identify item setup/system parameter issues and recommend controls to reduce manual overrides and improve new item forecast calibration
Qualifications:
- Advanced Excel and Power BI skills; strong SQL proficiency; R or Python preferred
- Experience analyzing forecasting, inventory planning, replenishment, and warehouse performance metrics
- Ability to translate complex supply chain drivers into clear, actionable recommendations
- Strong data quality mindset and experience establishing measurement logic and governance controls
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and with cross-functional teams
- High level of interpersonal skills to work effectively with Supply Chain, Merchandising, and Retail Operations stakeholders
