Sourcing Analyst | Tarmac | Hybrid Working
Love turning data into commercial decisions that make a real impact? At Tarmac, we're looking for a highly analytical Sourcing Analyst to help optimise one of the UK's largest supply networks. This is an exciting opportunity to influence key business decisions, improve profitability, and ensure products reach customers from the most efficient and cost-effective locations.
If you enjoy solving complex challenges, working with large datasets, and collaborating across multiple business functions, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Sourcing Analyst, you'll sit at the heart of our national Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, using insight and analysis to drive smarter supply decisions across our manufacturing and distribution network.
You'll:
- Analyse customer demand, production capacity, transport costs and service requirements to identify the optimal source of supply
- Support network optimisation by balancing cost, capacity and customer service considerations
- Maintain and develop sourcing models, tracking performance, costs, revenues and supply exceptions
- Investigate non-optimal supply routes and quantify their commercial impact
- Produce weekly and monthly performance reports, highlighting trends, risks and opportunities
- Partner with Commercial, Operations, Supply Chain and Logistics teams to improve efficiency and margin
- Support monthly S&OP reviews by providing data-led recommendations to senior stakeholders
- Help develop dashboards and analytical tools using platforms such as Power BI and Anaplan
