About The Position

The Control Tower Analyst is the real-time coordination hub for Aurora's supply chain. This role coordinates the movement of all vehicles, manages internal and external data exchanges, keeps internal stakeholders aligned, and directs warehousing and reverse logistics activity across the network. The job works like air traffic control. You will switch between tasks, projects, stakeholders, and deliverables every few minutes. You need to know which issues are active fires, which ones will become fires, and which ones can wait. When an issue can wait, you design a solution for it before it lands. Beyond daily execution, this role builds continuous improvement plans that move the overall supply chain toward maturity. You will work closely with Implementation Teams whenever critical system needs arise across ERP (NetSuite), EDI, and JIRA. This role is built for someone who genuinely enjoys new technology. The right candidate runs toward emerging tools, including AI, automation, and new system capabilities, rather than waiting until they're mandated. They look for ways new technology can make coordination faster, more accurate, and more scalable, and they bring those ideas forward on their own. For your career, this role offers hands-on work with cutting-edge systems and processes, and a meaningful voice in designing solutions within them. You will operate at dynamic speed and make mission-critical decisions every day. In a landscape where physical AI is becoming an increasingly valued reality, supply chain organizations will lean heavily on the skills this role builds.
