Analyst, Sourcing & Supply Planning Analytics and Decision Intelligence

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with Sourcing and Planning stakeholders to understand decisions, pain points, workflows and opportunities and convert them into analytical requirements, user stories and actionable products.

• Support Supply Planning analytics across supply-demand balancing, inventory and deployment planning, capacity and constraints, frozen horizon, lead times, backlog, service, reliability and planning exceptions.

• Support Sourcing analytics across suppliers and factories, procurement, PO execution, vendor OTIF, PO completeness, capacity, lead times, sourcing mix, cost, productivity, risk and corrective actions.

• Analyze the purchase-order lifecycle from requisition and order creation through confirmation, changes, production and shipment milestones, need dates, delivery commitments and exception resolution.

• Define and document KPIs, business rules, dimensions, grains, hierarchies, exclusions, targets and drill paths and validate data quality and reconciliations across planning, procurement and supplier sources.

• Work with IT Data & Analytics and Engineering to translate requirements into GCP data products and LookML semantic models and test joins, measures, dimensions, lineage and controls.

• Design, develop and iterate executive, tactical and operational dashboards in Google Looker, applying strong visualization, usability, scenario and exception-led design principles.

• Create and refine GenAI and AI-agent pilots for use cases such as PO visibility and exception management, supplier-risk analysis, planner copilots, lead-time intelligence, capacity risk and sourcing recommendations.

• Configure agent prompts, business instructions, grounding context, tools or workflows, evaluations, guardrails and human-review steps; test output quality, reliability and user value before scaling.

• Conduct exploratory, diagnostic and scenario analyses across demand changes, supply constraints, inventory strategies, supplier disruptions, sourcing mix, tariffs and service-cost trade-offs.

• Support predictive and prescriptive models with feature and business-rule definition, test cases, business interpretation and user feedback.

• Write user stories and acceptance criteria, support UAT, document solutions, train users and monitor adoption, usage and business impact.

• Contribute to cross-functional squads and actively share reusable semantic patterns, dashboard components, analytical methods and agent designs across the Planning & Analytics team.

Performance Expectations:

• Business partnership and insight

• Deliver timely analyses and product requirements grounded in Sourcing and Planning decisions and workflows.

• Technical and product quality

• Produce reliable semantic definitions, intuitive dashboards and well-tested AI agents with clear documentation and controls.

• Adoption and impact

• Support successful pilots and scaled products that improve service, inventory, supplier performance, cost, risk, productivity or decision speed.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations, Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business or a related field.

• Experience:

• 3+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, supply planning, inventory planning, supply chain analytics, data products, BI or AI-enabled solution delivery.

• Domain Knowledge:

• Knowledge of one or more Sourcing or Planning areas and willingness to build end-to-end expertise across suppliers, POs, capacity, lead times, inventory, constraints and product development

• Data, Visualization and AI Skills:

• Strong practical capability in SQL and data analysis, data profiling and validation, KPI logic, dimensional and semantic modeling, dashboard visualization and user-experience design. Working familiarity with GCP and Google Looker / LookML is strongly preferred. This is not a reporting-only role: candidates must also demonstrate hands-on fluency in GenAI and AI-agent creation, including prompt and instruction design, grounding, context configuration, workflow or tool integration, testing, evaluation, human-in-the-loop controls, monitoring and responsible-AI practices.

• Analytical Skills:

• Able to structure ambiguous questions, analyze large datasets, identify drivers and exceptions, communicate findings and translate them into decisions or product features.

• Product Delivery:

• Experience or strong aptitude in discovery, requirements, prototyping, agile collaboration, UAT, documentation, training and iterative improvement.

• Communication and Collaboration:

• Fluent English communication required. Able to work effectively with planners, sourcing teams, analysts, engineers, product teams and leaders across regions.

• Leadership Abilities:

• Proactive, self-directed and accountable. Influences through expertise, curiosity and responsiveness rather than authority.

• Strategic Thinking:

• Connects individual metrics and analyses to service, inventory, working capital, supplier, sourcing, cost and enterprise outcomes.

Reporting Structure: Reports to the Senior Manager, Sourcing & Supply Planning Analytics. No direct reports.

• Location and Travel Requirements:

• Mexico. Periodic travel to offices, suppliers or factories, regional teams and global team locations may be required.

• Additional Information:

• Hands-on builder who is equally comfortable analyzing data, defining a semantic model, designing a dashboard, prototyping an AI agent and engaging directly with Sourcing and Planning users.
