Job Summary

Advance Auto Parts is seeking a high performing candidate to join our Supply Chain Strategy & Transformation team. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role responsible for driving analytical insights, strategic initiatives, and transformational change across our end-to-end supply chain.

This role is ideal for a self-driven problem solver who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys breaking down complex business problems, and is motivated by measurable business impact. You will work closely with supply chain leadership and cross-functional partners to shape strategy, develop scalable solutions, and enable data-driven decision making that improves performance today while building the supply chain capabilities of the future.

The Senior Supply Chain Analyst will play a critical role in turning data into insight, insight into strategy, and strategy into execution.

What Will You Do?

Strategy & Transformation

• Support the development and execution of multi-year supply chain strategies aligned to enterprise objectives.
• Identify high-impact opportunities across network design, replenishment, transportation, and fulfillment to improve cost, service, and working capital.
• Translate broad strategic objectives into structured analyses, actionable recommendations, and executable roadmaps.
• Partner with Supply Chain Transformation leaders to design, test, and scale new processes, capabilities, and decision frameworks.

Analytical Problem Solving & Business Impact

• Tackle open-ended and ambiguous supply chain problems using a structured, hypothesis-driven approach.
• Independently define problem statements, determine appropriate analyses, and work through incomplete or imperfect data.
• Build advanced analytical models to quantify opportunities, tradeoffs, and risks.
• Measure impact, track results, and continuously refine recommendations based on performance.

Advanced Data & Analytics

• Leverage large, complex data sets to uncover trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities across the supply chain.
• Apply strong SQL skills and advanced analytics to extract, transform, and analyze data across multiple systems.
• Develop scalable analytical tools, dashboards, and models to support ongoing decision-making.
• Collaborate with data, IT, and analytics teams to improve data quality, accessibility, and analytical capabilities.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Influence

• Partner closely with Supply Chain, Inventory, Merchandising, Finance, Technology, and Operations teams.
• Communicate insights clearly and effectively to audiences ranging from analysts to senior leaders.
• Explain not just what the data says, but why it matters and how it should influence decisions.
• Influence without authority by building trust, credibility, and strong business understanding.

What Makes You Successful in This Role?

• You are energized by complex, ambiguous problems and comfortable operating without a predefined playbook.
• You are deeply analytical, but always focused on real-world business outcomes, not just analysis.
• You balance strategic thinking with a hands-on, execution-oriented mindset.
• You are curious, proactive, and driven to make things better-even when the path forward is not obvious.
• You can move seamlessly between data, strategy, and stakeholder communication.

Qualifications

Core Skills & Capabilities

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and develop actionable insights.
• Strong business acumen with an understanding of supply chain tradeoffs, financial drivers, and operational impacts.
• Ability to clearly communicate complex analyses and recommendations, including the "why" and "how," to cross-functional and senior stakeholders.
• Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.

Technical Skills

• Advanced SQL skills required; experience working with large, multi-source datasets.
• Advanced Excel skills; comfort building analytical models and financial impact assessments.
• Experience with data visualization and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Python, R) preferred.
• Experience working with supply chain, inventory, or operations data strongly preferred.

Certifications, Experience, and Education

• Experience:
  • 4+ years of experience in supply chain analytics, strategy, consulting, business analytics, or a related field.
  • Experience in retail, distribution, e-commerce, or consumer-focused supply chain environments strongly preferred.
  • Proven track record of driving business impact through data-driven insights.
  • SQL & analytical proficiency will be assessed as part of the interview process.
• Education:
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business Analytics, Finance, Economics, Operations Research, or a related field.
  • Advanced degree (MBA, MS, or similar) preferred but not required.

Why This Role?

• Opportunity to shape the future of Supply Chain at Advance Auto Parts.
• High visibility and exposure to senior leaders.
• A seat at the table for strategic decision making-not just reporting results.
• A team culture that values curiosity, ownership, and meaningful impact.
