About The Position

Restaurant Brands International Inc. (RBI) is a global leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, owning iconic brands like TIM HORTONS®, BURGER KING®, POPEYES®, and FIREHOUSE SUBS®. Firehouse Subs, with approximately 1,450 restaurants, relies on a consistent and reliable supply chain to ensure guests receive the same product experience every visit. The Senior Analyst, Supply Chain plays a crucial role in this by owning the analytics and execution layer that supports this performance. This position operates at the intersection of Limited Time Offers (LTOs), New Product Introductions (NPIs), and Inbound Freight Analytics for supplier-to-DC lanes. The role acts as an operational liaison between various departments including R&D, Marketing, Operations, and Procurement, as well as with key distributor partners such as DMA, PFG, SYGMA, GFS, and NDA. The primary objective is to ensure the right product is available in the correct quantity at the designated distribution center (DC) on time, while minimizing obsolescence and preventing any guest-facing stockouts.

Requirements

2–6 years of supply chain, demand planning, or inventory analyst experience (restaurant, CPG, or foodservice distribution preferred).
Advanced Excel skills and demonstrated fluency working with large data exports.
Working knowledge of Arrowstream or directly comparable distributor systems.
Strong analytical judgment and the ability to translate data into operator-grade recommendations actionable by a DC buyer on the same day.
Practical AI fluency: routine use of LLM-based assistants and AI-augmented analytics to accelerate data consolidation, exception analysis, and reporting; ability to design prompts that produce decision-grade output, evaluate that output for accuracy, and exercise judgment about where AI belongs in a supply chain workflow and where it does not.
Structured written and verbal communication skills across stakeholders operating at different tempos and with different vocabularies (DC buyers, R&D, Marketing, Operations leadership, and external partners at DMA, PFG, SYGMA, GFS, and NDA), including the ability to translate the same supply situation into a DC buyer escalation, an R&D risk note, and a leadership scorecard line without loss of fidelity.
