This is a full-time, remote Senior Supply Chain Analyst role, open to candidates anywhere in the U.S. It pays up to $92,000 a year and sits inside an e-commerce operations group that runs on inventory and logistics data every single day.
The analyst in this seat digs into inventory levels, demand patterns, and logistics data to spot where the supply chain is losing time or money, then turns that into forecasts and fixes the team can actually act on.
Ownership here runs deep. This isn't a role where findings get handed off to someone else to interpret. The analyst who takes this job will sit in on planning conversations, defend a forecast when a buyer pushes back, and track whether a recommended fix actually moved the numbers weeks later.
What you'll be doing
The day-to-day centers on data, but the output is always a decision someone else needs to make. A forecast that sits in a spreadsheet unused doesn't help anyone, so part of the job is making sure the right people see the right numbers at the right moment.
- Analyze inventory, demand, and logistics data to find inefficiencies before they turn into stockouts or excess costs
- Build demand forecasts that inventory and purchasing teams can plan against
- Identify and drive process improvements across the supply chain, from warehouse handoffs to carrier selection
- Pull together regular reporting that shows leadership where the numbers stand and where they're headed
- Flag emerging risks early, whether that's a port delay, a vendor slipping on lead times, or a sudden spike in returns for one product line
None of this happens in a vacuum. A demand forecast is only useful if procurement trusts it enough to act on it, so a good chunk of the job is translating a spreadsheet finding into something a non-analyst can use to make a decision. That often means a short summary alongside the numbers, not just a chart and a hope that someone reads it correctly.
What it takes
The degree requirement here is a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or a related field. Experience matters more, though: this is a senior seat, so the team wants someone already close to five years into analyzing supply chain or logistics data, not a first-timer learning the fundamentals on the job. Tool knowledge helps, but the people who do well here are the ones who can look at a messy number and figure out why it moved. Most candidates who fit come from one of two paths, either a supply chain analyst role at a retailer or manufacturer, or an operations analytics seat at a logistics provider. The job title on a resume matters less than whether the underlying work lines up.
Skills you'll use daily
The tools matter less than what you do with them, but this team leans on a fairly consistent set day to day:
- Supply chain or logistics software, whatever platform the previous employer ran on
- Advanced Excel, including pivot tables and formula-driven models
- Data analysis and forecasting, applied to real inventory and demand numbers rather than theoretical exercises
- Process optimization, spotting where a workflow is costing more time than it should
- Reporting that translates raw numbers into something a supply chain manager can act on the same day
A few extras aren't required, but they can make an application stand out. Experience with SQL or a business intelligence tool such as Power BI or Tableau can speed up much of the reporting work. Exposure to freight or carrier rate analysis is useful too, since this team regularly weighs cost against delivery speed. Familiarity with an ERP system like NetSuite or SAP shortens the ramp-up considerably, since so much of the underlying data lives there. And if you've ever built a forecast model from scratch rather than just running one someone else set up, mention it.
Naukri Mitra places a fair number of operations and analytics roles like this one, and the pattern holds here too. The strongest candidates tend to be people who like sitting with a messy dataset until it tells them something useful, not people who just want a dashboard to check once a week. A genuine curiosity about why a number moved, rather than just noting that it did, tends to separate the people who thrive here from the ones who don't.
Pay and benefits
This role pays up to $92,000 annually in USD.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Performance reviews with merit-based pay increases
How the team works
The operations group runs mostly asynchronously, with a standing weekly sync to review open forecasts and flag anything that's drifted off plan. Deadlines here tend to be real, tied to purchasing cycles and vendor lead times, so the analyst in this role needs to meet dates without much hand-holding. A missed forecast doesn't just look bad on a report; it can mean a warehouse over-orders on one SKU while running short on another a month later. Nobody's expected to have perfect answers on day one. Ramp time is normal, and questions are treated as a useful signal rather than a weakness.
Remote means remote. There's no expectation of being near a specific office, and the workday runs on standard business hours with room to adjust around personal schedules, as long as reporting deadlines and forecast reviews stay on track.
Solid work here tends to open doors. A senior analyst who consistently ships accurate forecasts and finds real cost savings is usually first in line when the team looks to add a supply chain manager or a second senior analyst seat, and a couple of people on the current team moved up exactly that way.
How to apply
Send a resume that shows the scale of supply chain or logistics data you've worked with, whether that's order volume, number of SKUs, or size of the network you supported. Candidates who move forward typically go through a short screening call, followed by a case-style exercise focused on a real forecasting or inefficiency problem. That exercise matters more than a polished cover letter, since it's the clearest signal of how someone actually works through messy data. Expect the whole process, from the first application to an offer, to take about two to three weeks for candidates who move through each stage promptly.
