Manager, Supply Chain Strategy

Georgia-Pacific is seeking a Manager to join the Supply Chain Strategy Team. This team is responsible for designing and delivering an optimized asset and warehousing footprint that supports future business needs and fulfillment strategies.  

This highly technical, visible role is ideal for a strong contributor and critical thinker who will understand, challenge, improve, and scale our network optimization model.

Location: The team is located at GP headquarters in downtown Atlanta, GA. This Atlanta-based role offers some flexibility; however, weekly in-office presence is expected to foster relationships and support collaboration across the company.

What You Will Do

• Apply optimization, decision science, and scenario analysis to complex network, warehousing, fulfillment, and asset-footprint questions, refining model formulation, constraints, and sensitivities to reflect real-world trade-offs
• Own and advance GP’s network optimization capability by challenging legacy methods, strengthening model structure, and identifying new ways to apply evolving optimization platforms and decision-support capabilities at scale
• Develop and interpret scenarios and trade-offs that show leaders the drivers, risks, and economic impact of network choices, and translate them into clear, actionable recommendations
• Lead long-term network and fulfillment strategy development, evaluating 3–5 year footprint decisions that optimize total landed cost while maintaining service and operational flexibility
• Identify and prioritize opportunities by defining the gap to potential, and partner with analytics, planning, and process teams to embed optimization into decisions
• Find new modeling use cases and build repeatable, self-service tools that move optimization from one-off studies into everyday decisions
• Operate effectively in a dynamic, ambiguous environment, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining focus on the highest-value opportunities
• Uphold and promote the Principles Based Management® culture by reinforcing the company’s Core Values and Principles

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Experience in supply chain strategy or network optimization; including building and applying optimization models to inform network design, sourcing, and fulfillment decisions
• Ability to analyze complex, multi-dimensional data sets and use quantitative methods to evaluate trade-offs, identify solution drivers, and support decision-making
• Hands-on experience using analytical programming languages and tools such as Python, R, SQL, Coupa Supply Chain Solutions, Lyric or similar platforms to build, enhance, automate, or scale decision models

What Will Put You Ahead

• BA degree or higher in Supply Chain, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, or a related quantitative field
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex analytics and model outputs into clear, actionable recommendations that influence cross-functional stakeholders and leadership decision-making
• Internal or external consulting experience
