Are you a Data Scientist or Data Analyst who enjoys solving real business problems with data?

We're looking for a technically strong Supply Chain Data Scientist to join a team where your analysis will directly influence how supply chain operations work.

Analyse large and complex datasets to uncover insights and opportunities.
Build impactful Power BI dashboards and visualisations.
Use SQL, Python and Power Query to manipulate and connect data.
Automate manual processes and improve reporting capability.
Work with stakeholders across the business to understand challenges and develop data-driven solutions.
Support exciting supply chain projects, including an upcoming ERP transition.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who can take ownership, work independently and get stuck into complex data.

You'll need:

Strong Excel skills.
Good Power BI experience.
Experience with SQL, Python and/or other coding languages.
Strong Power Query skills.
Experience working with large datasets.
Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.Supply chain, manufacturing, SAP, logistics or continuous improvement experience would be a big advantage.

Why this role?

You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple areas of the supply chain, introduce automation, uncover previously untapped data and play a key role in improving processes during a significant ERP transition.

If you're looking for a role where your technical skills can have a visible business impact, we'd love to hear from you.
