Description
The role of a Senior Supply Chain Analyst is varied but it is essentially a key bridge between business process, stakeholders, and IT resulting in continued digital transformation for Chanelle. Moreover, the role is to identify challenges and opportunities within specific business processes (through gathering user stories and supporting data, artefacts) and work to provide effective and transformative digital solutions in addition to progressing initiatives (either individually or as part of a larger project) to streamline operations and improve functionality, procedures/policies, efficiency whilst maintaining compliance in our regulated environment. Therefore, the ability and desire to learn new concepts, processes, tools, and systems is essential. Equally important is to bring a growth mindset and curiosity to all aspects.
Specifically for this role, it will be working with our colleagues in the Supply Chain function. Therefore, an understanding and experience of working in this environment is key to driving credibility and a strong partnership with stakeholders.
