What You’ll Do As a Planning Analyst, you will work with our business‑wide Analytics Engineering team to ensure their SQL data pipelines are modeled correctly for planning reporting. You will use Palantir’s Foundry platform as your central resource for conducting ad‑hoc analysis for planning teams, as well as producing dashboards and automated workflows that write back to our database via Python/Typescript actions. You will gain a deep understanding of the different planning interfaces and craft tools that drive insights and workflows that enable real cost and time savings business impacts. You are onboard with the goal of building out a world‑class business analytics layer with truly novel solutions to planning problems.

You think strategically and execute tactically—you’re just as comfortable designing a planning framework as you are diving into the details of a late supplier PO. You bring a data‑driven mindset and can turn analytics into action; you know how to interpret demand signals, build plans, and communicate clearly. You’re systems fluent, with experience working across ERP platforms (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), and can partner effectively with technical teams to improve tooling. You lead with cross‑functional empathy—understanding the needs of engineering, product, deployment, and finance to align priorities and deliver business outcomes. You’re comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building structure in environments that are scaling fast. You are high ownership, low ego, and value results over credit. You anticipate friction before it happens and proactively work to prevent issues rather than react to them.
