About The Position

The Supply Chain Strategy team leverages data, analytics, and strategy to optimize this journey, ensuring we purchase an optimal mix of cars, recondition those cars efficiently, and move them through our network to support growth of our retail sales. There are several sub-teams on Supply Chain Strategy who focus on different parts of the vehicle lifecycle. As a Sr. Analyst in Supply Chain Strategy, you will work with business partners in our Product, Technology, and Operations to help drive the supply chain business forward on a team focused on one of these areas: Consumer Supply Strategy, B2B Strategy, Merchandising Strategy, Logistics Strategy, or Service Operations Strategy.
