About The Position

We're looking for a Sr. Analyst to own the forecasting, budgeting, and spend analytics backbone of our NA Packaging organization. This role sits at the intersection of supply chain data, finance, and packaging engineering — turning demand signals and cost data into the guidance that keeps our packaging supply chain running efficiently across all NA brands. You'll join a small, collaborative team of analysts and packaging engineers, taking on a broad scope that spans forecasting, cost analytics, and tooling across the full NA portfolio.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in supply chain analytics, FP&A, or operations analytics, ideally in packaging, manufacturing, or CPG/food
Proficiency in Databricks and Snowflake (or equivalent SQL-based platforms); Python and Airflow experience a strong plus
Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; hands-on experience with COGS or budget variance analysis
Experience with forecasting/demand planning models, ideally in a multi-brand or multi-SKU environment
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Analytics, Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Nice To Haves

Highly analytical, comfortable owning a forecast model end-to-end with minimal oversight
A clear communicator who can translate cost/variance data into decisions for non-technical stakeholders
Organized under pressure — this role sits on the critical path for budget cycles with hard deadlines
Proactive about flagging risk rather than waiting to be asked
Collaborative across Finance, Supply Chain Analytics, and Packaging Engineering
Comfortable with ambiguity and stepping into a scope that's still being defined

Responsibilities

Own the annual NA packaging budget — translating supplier plans into material volumes, network plans, and cost/box estimates by brand
Produce and validate the weekly in-week demand forecast across all NA brands (HelloFresh, EveryPlate, Green Chef, Factor), driving packaging material ordering and procurement decisions
Lead PKG spend analytics — weekly and month-end (MEC) budget vs. expected vs. actuals, variance investigations, and driving corrective actions with ops partners
Own the translation of packaging engineering configurations and network fulfillment requirements into a packaging forecast at all time horizons, leveraged in budgeting cycles, planning cycles, and week-to-week ordering.
Measure and improve accuracy through budget cycles and ad hoc scenarios.
Maintain and evolve the packaging scripts codebase (Databricks, Airflow, Python, Snowflake) and core planning tools (Packaging Allocator, ODL/ADL files)
Conduct cost and supply impact analyses for packaging launches and transitions — new SKU introductions, format changes, fulfillment network shifts and supplier transitions
Serve as the analytics point of contact bridging Operations Engineering, Procurement, Fulfillment, Logistics, Planning, and Finance
