This role calls for a data analytics leader to identify and implement opportunities to transform the business through a range of diagnostic and predictive analytics. As the lead product analyst for SSC, you will lead data-driven service innovation by identifying supply chain opportunities and defects, service gaps and system/process improvements.

At the same time, they must have bias for action, be resourceful and prepared to wrangle data from various sources to fuel their analysis. They are a life-long learner and driven to work collaboratively with cross-functional business teams, empowering them by providing deep insights to drive action and success for the entire organization.
