Demand & Supply Chain Analyst Irwindale, CA, US 14 days ago Requisition ID: 1045 Salary Range: $75,000.00 To $95,000.00 Annually The Supply Chain Analyst is a high-visibility analytical role at the center of WPIA's planning and execution engine. You will turn data into decisions — building the forecasts, inventory analyses, and performance dashboards that leaders across Operations, Procurement, and Finance rely on every day. In a PE-backed environment where working capital, service levels, and cost discipline are watched closely, your analysis will have a direct line to the metrics that matter most. This is a builder's role with genuine room to grow. You will help stand up planning processes, sharpen ERP data integrity, and bring analytical rigor to S&OP — with exposure to senior leadership and a clear development path as the company scales. Key Responsibilities Planning & Forecasting Support demand and supply planning across customer programs, translating customer forecasts and open orders into material and capacity requirements. Maintain and improve planning parameters (lead times, safety stock, MOQs, reorder points) in the ERP system. Support the S&OP process with data preparation, scenario analysis, and clear, decision-ready reporting. Inventory & Working Capital Analyze inventory levels, turns, aging, and obsolescence risk across raw materials, components, and finished goods; recommend actions to optimize working capital. Support cycle count and physical inventory programs, investigating and resolving root causes of inventory discrepancies. Partner with Finance on inventory valuation, E&O reserves, and month-end reporting. Track supplier performance (on-time delivery, quality, lead-time reliability) and support supplier scorecard reviews. Analyze purchase price variance and material cost trends; support sourcing initiatives and cost-savings tracking. Monitor open purchase orders and expedite critical materials to protect production schedules and customer commitments. Build and maintain supply chain KPI dashboards (fill rate, OTIF, inventory turns, forecast accuracy) for operations and executive audiences. Champion ERP data integrity — item masters, BOMs, lead times, and costing data — as the foundation for reliable planning. Identify and drive continuous improvement opportunities in planning, purchasing, and materials management processes. Support ad hoc analyses for senior leadership, including capacity studies, make/buy assessments, and customer onboarding planning. Qualifications Required Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Business, Industrial Engineering, Finance, or a related field. 2–5 years of experience in supply chain, planning, procurement, or operations analytics — ideally in a manufacturing, contract packaging, or CPG environment. Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, modeling); strong comfort working with large datasets. Hands-on experience with an ERP/MRP system (SAP, Oracle, Epicor, NetSuite, Deacom or similar). Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into clear recommendations. Effective communicator — comfortable engaging with planners, buyers, plant leaders, and executives alike. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Preferred Experience in contract packaging, co-manufacturing, or health and wellness / dietary supplement manufacturing. Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred, reflecting our Southern California workforce and supplier base. Experience with BI/reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms. APICS certification (CPIM or CSCP) or active progress toward certification. Exposure to a private equity–backed or high-growth environment with rigorous reporting expectations.
