1What this role really is

This isn't just about crunching numbers; it's about making our global supply chain actually work better. You'll be the one digging into complex data, spotting where things are going wrong, and then figuring out how to fix them. Think of yourself as a detective and an architect rolled into one, always looking for ways to make our operations smoother and more reliable across different countries and cultures. It's a hands-on role where your analysis directly influences big decisions.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

SAP S/4HANAAdvanced

You'll understand SAP's table structures, write custom queries using SQVI to pull raw data, troubleshoot master data issues (like Material Master or Vendor Master), and occasionally train junior colleagues on transaction codes. This isn't just about running reports; it's about understanding what's *behind* the reports.

ExcelExpert

You'll master Power Query for complex data cleaning and ETL, build sophisticated financial and operational models, and write VBA macros to automate repetitive tasks that can't be done in other systems. You're the go-to person for anything Excel-related.

SQL (PostgreSQL)Advanced

You'll write complex multi-table JOINs, use window functions for advanced analysis, and create Common Table Expressions (CTEs) to build specific data marts for your analyses. You'll also optimise queries for performance to get data faster.

TableauExpert

You'll design and build complex, interactive dashboards from scratch, going beyond basic charts. This means using Level of Detail (LOD) expressions, sets, and advanced calculations to answer nuanced business questions and present compelling visual stories.

Kinaxis RapidResponseAdvanced

You'll configure new planning scenarios, build custom workbooks, and understand the underlying concurrent planning engine to model 'what-if' analyses (e.g., the impact of a port shutdown on inventory and customer orders). You'll be a key user, not just a consumer of reports.

MS Teams / SharePointAdvanced

You'll build automated workflows using Power Automate to streamline data collection or approvals, set up new Team sites with appropriate permissions for project collaboration, and use Planner for detailed project tracking. You'll help us work smarter, not harder.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Methodology Selection for Analysis	Follows prescribed methods; seeks approval for any deviation.	Chooses appropriate methods from a defined set; consults manager for complex scenarios.	Designs and justifies new analytical methodologies; seeks input from peers/manager for significant departures from standard practice.
Process Improvement Recommendations	Identifies issues and proposes solutions to manager.	Proposes and implements minor process adjustments within own area; seeks approval for cross-functional changes.	Designs and leads implementation of significant process improvements across multiple teams; recommends changes to policy/system configuration to manager.
Inventory Parameter Changes (e.g., Safety Stock)	Updates parameters as directed by senior staff.	Calculates and proposes parameter changes for routine items; manager reviews and approves.	Owns calculation and recommends parameter changes for critical SKUs/categories; manager provides strategic oversight, but execution is yours.
Budget for Small Tools/Training	Requires manager approval for all expenses.	Can request budget for specific training or tools, approved by manager.	Can recommend and justify small purchases (up to £5K) for tools or training directly related to improving their workstream; manager signs off.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Inventory Turns Improvement

How efficiently we're moving inventory through our system.

Target · Drive a 10% improvement in inventory turns for your managed categories annually.

If your category had 4 turns last year, we'd expect to see 4.4 turns this year, meaning we're selling through stock faster without increasing risk.

On-Time In-Full (OTIF) Improvement

The percentage of orders delivered to customers or received from suppliers on time and with the full quantity requested.

Target · Improve supplier/customer OTIF from 90% to 95% for your assigned regions/suppliers.

If a key supplier's OTIF is 88%, your work should help us push that to 93% by identifying and addressing common delays or inaccuracies.

Process Improvement Savings

Documented cost savings or efficiency gains from projects you've led.

Target · Deliver a documented process improvement saving of >£200K annually.

Redesigning a routing guide that reduces freight costs by £250K a year, or optimising a planning parameter that cuts excess inventory holding costs by £300K.

Demand Forecast Accuracy (MAPE)

The accuracy of your demand predictions against actual sales for specific product lines or regions.

Target · Achieve >88% MAPE at the SKU-location level for your assigned portfolio.

If your forecast for a product was 1000 units and actual sales were 900, that's a 10% error. We want to keep those errors small and consistent.

Stakeholder Trust & Influence

How much your colleagues across departments rely on your insights and recommendations.

You're proactively consulted on strategic decisions, invited to planning meetings for new initiatives, and your opinions are sought on key operational changes. People don't just ask for data
they ask for your interpretation and advice.

Mentorship & Team Development

Your ability to help junior analysts grow and improve their skills.

Junior team members regularly seek your advice, you provide constructive and helpful code reviews, and they show measurable improvement in their analytical capabilities and confidence after working with you. You're seen as a go-to person for unsticking problems.

Problem Resolution & Proactivity

Your ability to anticipate and solve complex supply chain issues before they become major problems.

You identify potential risks (e.g., supplier delays, customs issues) and present solutions before they escalate. When a crisis hits, you're calm, present clear options, and take ownership of finding the 'least-bad' path forward.

Documentation Quality & Knowledge Sharing

How well you document your processes, models, and findings so others can understand and replicate your work.

Your models have clear comments, your process flows are up-to-date in SharePoint, and a new joiner could pick up your work without needing constant hand-holding. You regularly contribute to our internal knowledge base.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real kick out of taking a messy, ambiguous problem (like 'why are we always out of stock of Product X in Germany?') and breaking it down into solvable pieces, then finding the data to prove your hypothesis.

Spending an afternoon tracing a discrepancy in inventory data across three systems, finally pinpointing a specific warehouse process error, and then designing a fix.

Tangible Business Impact

You're driven by seeing your analysis and recommendations actually make a difference—whether it's reducing costs, improving delivery times, or preventing a major supply chain disruption. You want to see your work in action.

Seeing a new safety stock calculation you designed reduce inventory holding costs by £500K in the first quarter, or preventing a £1M stock-out by flagging a supplier risk early.

Continuous Improvement & Learning

You're always looking for a better way to do things, whether it's optimising a SQL query, learning a new Tableau trick, or researching the latest inventory management theory. You enjoy the challenge of mastering your craft.

Taking the initiative to learn a new Python library to automate a manual report, or volunteering to research new demand forecasting methodologies to present to the team.

What frustrates people

Garbage In, Garbage Out: Spending 60% of your time cleaning, validating, and reconciling master data from three different ERPs because no one truly owns it.
The Sales Forecast: Trying to build a statistically valid demand plan based on the sales team's 'hockey stick' forecast that you know is 50% optimism and 50% desperation to hit their quota.
Explaining 'Why': Patiently explaining to a senior executive for the fifth time why you can't just 'turn off' a purchase order that's already on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The Blame Game: Getting blamed for a stock-out that was caused by a supplier short-shipping, a quality control hold, and a customs delay—all outside of your direct control.
The 4:59 PM 'Urgent' Request: The last-minute request from a VP to 'just quickly pull the numbers' on inventory turns for the last five years, completely derailing your planned work for the next day.
The Tyranny of the Spreadsheet: Knowing there's a better way to do something in SQL or Tableau, but being forced to maintain a 50MB, macro-filled 'master spreadsheet' because a key stakeholder is comfortable with it and won't let it go.

What this role does not give you

A perfectly structured, predictable work environment with minimal ambiguity.
A guarantee that every piece of analysis you do will be implemented.
A role where you only deal with clean, perfectly organised data.
An environment where you're always working on brand new, exciting projects (there's plenty of maintenance work too).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our operational efficiency, cost management, and customer service levels across all international markets. Your analysis helps us avoid stock-outs, reduce excess inventory, and optimise our shipping routes, which means better margins and happier customers globally. You're essentially helping us keep our promises to customers and our shareholders.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (5+ years) in a dedicated supply chain analytics, demand planning, or inventory management role.
Demonstrable experience leading analytical projects from start to finish, including presenting findings and recommendations.
Strong track record of identifying process inefficiencies and implementing measurable improvements.
A portfolio or examples of complex Excel models, SQL queries, or Tableau dashboards you've built (we'll ask to see them).
Experience mentoring or guiding junior team members, even informally.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced SQL & Database Design Principles

As our data volumes grow, simply writing functional SQL isn't enough. You'll need to write highly optimised queries and understand basic database design to ensure data integrity and performance for complex analytical tasks.

Indexing strategies · Query optimisation techniques · Data normalisation vs. denormalisation · Stored procedures and functions · Data governance best practices

This week: Review your most frequently used SQL queries and look for optimisation opportunities.
This month: Take an advanced SQL course focusing on performance tuning and database design principles.
Month 2: Work with our IT team to understand our current database schemas and data warehousing approach.
Month 3: Propose a small data mart or view to simplify access to a common data set for your team.
Month 4: Mentor a junior analyst on writing efficient and robust SQL queries.

Quick win: Start using `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` in PostgreSQL to understand how your queries are performing and identify bottlenecks. It's an eye-opener.

Python for Supply Chain Modelling & Automation

While Excel and Kinaxis are powerful, Python offers unparalleled flexibility for custom statistical models, scenario simulations, and automating complex data pipelines that go beyond standard tool capabilities. It's becoming the lingua franca for advanced analytics.

Pandas for data manipulation · NumPy for numerical operations · SciPy/Statsmodels for statistical modelling · Optimisation libraries (e.g., PuLP, Gurobi) · API integration (e.g., ERP, TMS APIs)

This week: If you don't know Python, start with a beginner-friendly course (e.g., Codecademy, DataCamp).
This month: Focus on Pandas and NumPy. Recreate one of your complex Excel analyses in Python.
Month 2: Explore a statistical library like Statsmodels or Prophet for a demand forecasting project.
Month 3: Build a small automation script in Python to pull data from an internal system or a web API.
Month 4: Work on a collaborative project with a data scientist to learn best practices for code structure and version control.

Quick win: Automate a simple, repetitive data cleaning task you currently do in Excel using a Python script. Even a small win will show the power of the tool.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending industry webinars and conferences (e.g., Gartner Supply Chain Symposium, CSCMP) to stay current on trends.
Participating in online courses or bootcamps to deepen your skills in Python, advanced SQL, or specific supply chain software.
Reading key industry publications and thought leadership (e.g., Supply Chain Management Review, MIT SCM Research).
Networking with other supply chain professionals to share best practices and learn from their experiences.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration

Honestly, competitors are already using large language models (LLMs) to draft reports in 10 minutes that used to take 2 hours. Analysts who figure this out will outproduce peers 3:1. This isn't future tech; it's happening now.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Global Supply Chain Analyst is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of supply chain analysis involves repetitive tasks, data sifting, and drafting communications. But what if you could offload a significant chunk of that to AI? We're not talking about replacing your job; we're talking about making you incredibly more productive and freeing you up for the truly strategic, problem-solving work you love.

At Zavmo, we're building an internal AI Productivity Hub specifically for our supply chain team. This isn't just theory; it's practical tools you'll use day-to-day to automate the tedious bits, get insights faster, and communicate more effectively. Imagine spending less time on data prep and more time on actual decision-making.

Automated Report Collation & Distribution

Imagine an AI agent logging into SAP, our TMS, and 3PL portals before you even arrive at your desk. It pulls daily inventory, in-transit, and sales reports, standardises all the different formats, and merges them into a single, clean dataset ready for your Tableau dashboard or Kinaxis model. This means less 'copy-pasting' and more 'analysing'.

Predictive Anomaly Detection

Forget manually sifting through spreadsheets looking for weird numbers. An AI model monitors real-time sales and shipment data, flagging statistically significant deviations from your plan. It'll tell you things like: 'Sales in the DACH region are tracking 30% above forecast for SKU X, projecting a stock-out in 9 days unless we act.' This gives you a massive head start on problem-solving.

Geopolitical & Logistics Risk Monitoring

An AI agent scans global news, weather patterns, and shipping lane data 24/7. It then generates a daily risk brief tailored to your specific supply chain. For example: 'Potential for port strike in Rotterdam may impact 3 of your inbound containers. Consider rerouting options for PO #12345.' This helps you anticipate and mitigate risks before they blow up.

Draft Stakeholder Communications

You've identified a critical delay. Instead of spending 20 minutes drafting emails for different audiences, you input the core facts (PO #, vessel name, new ETA, impact). AI drafts three versions of an update: a concise, impact-focused email for Sales; a technical, action-oriented message for Logistics; and a summary bullet point for the S&OP deck. Instant, tailored communication.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Global Supply Chain Analyst, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 11 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Global Supply Chain Analyst: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in International Business Global

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here are highly transferable. You could move into consulting, technology (working for a supply chain software vendor), or even into other operational roles within different industries (e.g., retail, pharma, automotive) that have complex global supply chains. Your analytical and problem-solving abilities are universally valued.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
