To support our continued growth, we have an opening to join the team as a Supply Chain Analyst. Our supply chain analysts work with a team of experienced consultants to leverage the rich data within supply chains to highlight opportunities for performance improvement. They need to be comfortable in manipulating and analysing data in Excel and other analytical tools, be well-organised and have a keen attention to detail. As we are frequently solving for unstructured problems with clients, business acumen and critical thinking skills will also be required to apply business learnings to the information provided. While it is important that the individual comes with strong technical skills, it is equally important that the person shows a willingness to learn and bring their own perspectives as part of a high-performing team, interfacing directly with clients.
