Supply Chain Analyst
About The Position
The Supply Chain Analyst is a highly analytical, on-site role responsible for transforming supply chain data into actionable insights that drive inventory optimization, material availability, and cost control across multiple manufacturing locations. This position serves as a key link between ERP/MRP systems, operational planning, and procurement, supporting the organization’s transition from spreadsheet-based processes to a more integrated, system-driven supply chain model. This role supports a USP/FDA-regulated manufacturing facility and multiple off-site storage locations, requiring approximately 20% travel for year-end physical inventories and quarterly cycle counts. The ideal candidate brings a combination of strong technical data analysis capabilities and hands-on supply chain experience. The Supply Chain Analyst plays a critical role in advancing supply chain maturity by improving inventory accuracy, supporting production continuity, and enabling scalable, data-driven decision-making across the network.
