  • Support ad-hoc analysis related to scaling operations
  • Plan and perform quarterly business review with suppliers

Required Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of experience in procurement, supply chain, finance, operations, or analytics
  • Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Excel (SQL or Python is a plus)
  • Ability to turn messy data into clear insights and recommendations
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working with cross-functional stakeholders
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment
