You’ll work alongside a team of deeply curious, low-ego problem solvers using modeling, data science, and hard-earned intuition to help our clients plan smarter, move faster, and operate leaner. This is real-world analytics with teeth. If you enjoy asking “what if?” and then proving it with code, models, and math—read on.

In this role, you’ll help global enterprises navigate complexity and unlock value through advanced analytics, modeling, and strategic network design. If you're an analytical thinker with a passion for solving real-world supply chain problems, this is your opportunity to make an impact.
