About The Position

The Vice President of Supply Chain Planning & Analytics builds and scales a best‑in‑class data, analytics, and AI capability that improves performance across the end‑to‑end supply chain—service, inventory, speed, reliability, and cost‑to‑serve.

Instead, it serves as the Supply Chain decision‑intelligence and orchestration engine, enabling faster and better decisions by building analytics products, reporting, tools, and digital models (including a digital supply chain twin) that functional teams use to run and improve the business. The role also owns select planning‑adjacent analytics capabilities that directly connect Supply Chain Planning & Analytics to the business, ensuring strong understanding of how inventory, capacity, and flow decisions impact service and cost outcomes. The role is accountable for global Supply Chain reporting and analytics and partners closely with Distribution & Logistics leaders to drive measurable operational improvement.
