Jobs (14)
AI Developer
Supply Chain AI and Data Science Lead
The role is relevant to industrializing AI in planning while preserving data lineage, model governance and operational accountability.
AI Architect — AI and Data, Industries
Revenue AI Solutions Analyst
The role is relevant where revenue signals connect to demand planning, inventory and supply decisions; governance is needed around assumptions, model versions and downstream use.
Consultancy — Supply Chain AI Specialist
Demand Planning & AI Solutions Specialist
This position sits in the governed middle layer between the business process, forecasting engine and APS. Its value will depend on documenting rules, controlling overrides and embedding recommendations into the planning cycle.
Supply Chain AI Enablement Lead
This role resembles a Supply Chain AI Build Office mandate: selecting use cases, framing decisions, organizing adoption and defining the industrialization route. Model governance and measurable value should be central.
AI Supply Chain Consultant
The role is relevant because logistics transformation depends on how data, automation and operating-model choices are integrated into governed execution workflows.
AI Automation & Operations Intelligence Intern
Managing Consultant — Supply Chain, AI-Driven Procurement Advisory
The role is relevant to Supply Chain AI because it links AI adoption with procurement governance, process ownership and measurable decision outcomes rather than isolated automation.
Supply Chain AI Lead — Procurement
The role signals demand for leaders who can govern AI-supported procurement decisions, supplier workflows and enterprise-system integration.
Supply Chain AI Lead — SCM
The role is relevant to industrializing Supply Chain AI with clear ownership, scalable delivery and integration into enterprise systems.
