Senior Supply Chain Analyst – Critical Materials, Battery Mobility

Role Overview

• Own the execution of high-complexity supplier and supply chain relationship research (e.g., ambiguous ownership structures, multi-tier sourcing pathways, localization/capacity signals), producing defensible outputs aligned to team standards and SLAs.
• Serve as a subject-matter and methodological leader for supplier discovery and relationship validation, advising on source selection, triangulation strategy, and evidence quality.
• Perform advanced analysis and synthesis across disparate sources (industry publications, corporate filings, trade/shipping signals, customer disclosures, and other secondary/primary inputs) to identify patterns and relationships.
• Lead quality improvement through hands-on calibration: conduct peer reviews, spot checks, and root-cause analyses; recommend process changes to reduce defects and rework while improving accuracy over time.
• Partner cross-functionally with operations, product/development, and commercial teams to translate research outputs into scalable datasets and client-ready narratives; provide input on data model implications and edge-case handling.
• Contribute to customer-facing engagements as a trusted expert, including methodology discussions, research readouts, and responses to client inquiries regarding data provenance, validation logic, and confidence levels.
• Identify new research opportunities and coverage expansion areas (new supplier segments, technologies, regions, or risk lenses) and build business cases with clear research approaches and expected impact.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain Management or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in research management, competitive intelligence, supply chain research, or a related role—preferably tied to automotive or global supply chains.
• Domain expertise in Critical Materials & Batteries.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present research findings and defend methodology to internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of automotive supply chain structures and/or procurement processes (supplier tiers, sourcing, localization, capacity constraints, and operational risk concepts).
• Experience partnering with technical teams to operationalize research outputs into scalable datasets.
• Background in supplier discovery/validation using a mix of primary/secondary research (e.g., interviews, industry publications, trade data, corporate filings, customs/shipping signals).
• Track record of publishing research (reports, briefings, client deliverables) or presenting insights to procurement, supply chain, risk, or executive audiences.
• Familiarity with global trade and compliance concepts relevant to automotive sourcing (e.g., sanctions/export controls exposure, country-of-origin considerations, forced labor screening workflows).
• Master’s degree (MBA or related) is a plus.
