Role Purpose The Analyst Supply Solutions is responsible for delivering accurate and timely purchase order execution while elevating the function from transactional processing to AI-enabled, data-driven decision support.

- Analyze demand, forecast, and order signals to detect outliers, risk clusters, and recurring root causes.
- Use AI-assisted tools responsibly for anomaly detection, prioritization logic, and insight generation.
- Develop practical analytical frameworks to separate urgent exceptions from low-impact noise.
- Convert complex analysis into simple business narratives for planners, merchants, and leadership teams.

- Measure and communicate impact of AI and automation using baseline-versus-outcome metrics.

C. Supply Solutions (Mandatory)
- Lead structured problem-solving for supplier delay scenarios, from detection to closure.
- Run cross-functional action plans with sourcing, planning, logistics, and supplier partners to recover at-risk orders.
- Define and track delay recovery playbooks, including alternatives such as re-prioritization, partial allocation, and timeline resets.
- Create and maintain early-warning indicators for supplier performance and delivery risk.
- Drive weekly risk reviews with explicit escalations, dependency management, and decision logs.
- Recommend systemic fixes that reduce repeat delay patterns and improve planning reliability.

D. Collaboration and Capability Building
- Partner with product and technology teams to design, test, and deploy process improvements.
- Coach team members on structured analytics, data interpretation, and exception triage methods.
- Ensure compliance with policies, data quality standards, and responsible AI usage principles.

Added Advantage: Apparel and Fashion Domain Knowledge
