Topology Analyst, Supply Chain Logistics

Contract: 12 months Schedule Because this role supports a global supply chain organization, Monday–Wednesday have earlier start times. The highest volume period for global support is generally 6:30 AM–11:00 AM, so candidates should be comfortable being available during these hours on those days. About the Company Our client is a globally recognized entertainment and interactive media company behind one of the world's most iconic and beloved franchises. With a strong presence across video games, digital entertainment, trading cards, animation, merchandise, and consumer products, the company has built a massive global community of fans and consumers. The organization operates at the intersection of technology, entertainment, gaming, and consumer products, with complex global supply chain and logistics operations supporting a broad portfolio of products and markets. This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly collaborative team and contribute to the optimization of a global supply chain network supporting a well-known international brand. About the Role We are seeking a Supply Chain Logistics Topology Analyst to support the evaluation, design, and optimization of an end-to-end logistics network spanning manufacturing sites, distribution centers, warehouses, transportation providers, and other supply chain nodes. In this role, you will use data analysis, supply chain modeling, and network optimization techniques to evaluate how products and materials move through the network and identify opportunities to improve cost, service levels, capacity utilization, resilience, and overall network performance. You will work with cross-functional teams across supply chain, logistics, operations, transportation, and other business functions to analyze the current-state network, identify gaps and opportunities, and support the development of future-state network designs. This is an analytical role that requires someone who can take complex data and translate it into clear, actionable business recommendations. What You'll Do Analyze and evaluate end-to-end supply chain and logistics networks, including manufacturing plants, distribution centers, warehouses, transportation lanes, and logistics providers. Develop a detailed understanding of current-state network topology, material flows, transportation routes, capacity constraints, and operational dependencies. Use quantitative analysis and modeling to identify opportunities to optimize cost, service, capacity, lead times, inventory positioning, and network resilience. Support the development and evaluation of future-state network scenarios, including potential changes to facilities, transportation flows, sourcing strategies, and distribution models. Build data-driven analyses and business cases to quantify the operational and financial impact of proposed network changes. Analyze large and complex datasets to identify trends, inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement. Partner with supply chain, logistics, transportation, operations, and other cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements and validate analytical assumptions. Translate analytical findings into clear presentations, recommendations, and decision-support materials for business stakeholders. Support network modeling, scenario analysis, and what-if exercises related to changes in demand, capacity, facilities, transportation or business growth. Monitor key network performance indicators and help identify areas requiring further analysis or optimization. Document assumptions, methodologies, findings, and recommendations in a clear and repeatable manner. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on cost efficiency, service performance, scalability, sustainability, and supply chain resilience. Work effectively in a global environment where priorities, data, and business requirements may shift quickly. What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, Industrial Engineering, Business Analytics, Data Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Experience in supply chain, logistics, transportation, network planning, network optimization, or supply chain analytics. Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills with the ability to work with large datasets. Experience analyzing logistics or supply chain data to identify trends, inefficiencies, capacity constraints, or optimization opportunities. Understanding of supply chain network concepts, including distribution networks, transportation flows, facilities, capacity, lead times, and service levels. Ability to build structured analyses and translate data into clear business insights and recommendations. Strong Excel skills, including the ability to manipulate and analyze complex datasets. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain analytical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple analyses or workstreams simultaneously. Nice to Have Experience with supply chain network design or topology analysis. Experience using network modeling, optimization, simulation, or scenario-planning tools. Experience with SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, or other data analytics and visualization tools. Experience working with transportation management systems, warehouse management systems, ERP platforms, or supply chain planning systems. Experience developing what-if models, network scenarios, or cost-to-serve analyses. Exposure to global supply chain operations and international transportation networks. Experience supporting large-scale network redesign, supply chain transformation, or operational improvement initiatives. Familiarity with sustainability considerations in supply chain and logistics network design. #J-18808-Ljbffr Swoon
