Responsibilities

Design end-to-end supply chain planning solutions in o9 platforms that optimize inventory service levels and capacity for make to stock and configure to order operations in the high tech domain

Convert complex business requirements from supply chain planners and domain specialists into precise o9 functional designs that technical teams can implement without ambiguity

Bring practical experience in o9 supply chain analytics, with the ability to define key metrics, design dashboards, and guide users in interpreting insights for daily decision-making

Demonstrate proven knowledge of o9 MEIO concepts such as safety stock modeling, service level targeting, and multi echelon policies that support high tech product portfolios

Maintain solid proficiency in Python for data analysis, prototyping algorithms, and supporting complex planning logic that complements o9 platform capabilities

Exhibit strong domain understanding of make to stock and configure to order models in the high tech industry, including product lifecycles, lead times, and configuration complexity

Demonstrate strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills to collaborate effectively with planners, engineers, and managers in hybrid work arrangements across global teams
