• Identify data gaps or discrepancies and drive follow-up with internal teams and external logistics partners.
• Monitor global on-hand inventory relative to safety stock thresholds and recommend restock or rebalancing actions.

• Compile and maintain data feeding into finished-goods supply models, integrating demand forecasts, production schedules, and existing inventory.
• Update and refine operational reports and planning models.
• Recommend and implement process improvements to streamline reporting and inventory workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business Analytics, Economics, or a quantitative discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in supply planning, logistics, inventory management, or data analysis.
• Advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, modeling, pivoting, data transformation). Be ready to whiteboard at the interview!
• Strong analytical reasoning, with the ability to show mathematical proof and explain logic behind conclusions.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience working with physical products / hardware supply chains (required).

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in consumer electronics, hardware operations, or physical-goods environments.
• Experience with Tableau or Power BI.
• Light SQL familiarity (may be used after year one).
• Finance experience is a plus.
• Comfort working in lean, high-ownership, startup-style environments.

Why This Role Matters

This role directly supports global availability of major hardware products. You’ll help determine when to build and purchase additional units, maintain supply continuity across global warehouses, and prepare for upcoming launches. The work spans factories, freight, warehouses, supply planning, and operational finance—providing broad visibility and meaningful impact in a fast-growing hardware organization.
