Material Planning Analyst

Vanderlande • Marietta, GA

19h

About The Position

This role exists to raise the ceiling on what the material management team can do by building data models, applications, and automation that change how the work gets done. The analyst will work alongside the material management team, learn how the domain actually operates, write queries, build tools, and iterate based on feedback. This is a builder role with a seat close to the operation, owning problems end-to-end from framing the issue to shipping and maintaining the solution.

Requirements

• Three or more years in supply chain, operations analytics, data engineering, or a similar role where you built things for people who are not analysts
• Databricks: SQL, notebooks, building and maintaining pipelines
• Power Platform: Power Automate, Power Apps, and Copilot Studio
• Power BI: data modeling, DAX, and report development
• Working knowledge of supply chain fundamentals, including planning logic, procurement flows, and inventory concepts such as safety stock, lead time, and on-time delivery
• Willingness to sit with users, ask basic questions, and be told you're wrong

Nice To Haves

• Background in manufacturing, logistics, or project-based supply chains

Responsibilities

• Understand the domain: Learn how material flows through the business, where decisions are made, and where the current process depends on people compensating for tooling. Bring that understanding into every design choice you make.
• Model the data: Establish reliable, shared definitions for the metrics the team runs on, so that reporting and decisions come from a single source of truth.
• Build: Develop solutions on Databricks and the Power Platform that go into daily use. Take responsibility for them once they are live, which includes monitoring, fixing, and iterating.
• Improve the process: Measure how the work happens today and propose changes with evidence behind them. Some answers are software. Some are a changed step, a clearer rule or a new process all together.
• Work across teams: Partner with the teams that material flow touches, and translate between what the operation needs and what the systems can do.
