Chemical MARKET Intelligence Analyst in Dallas, Texas

Chemical Market Intelligence Analyst

Build the internal capability that enables American Bath Group to understand petrochemical markets independently, challenge supplier pricing confidently, and make stronger sourcing decisions.

ABG is creating an internal chemical market intelligence capability to independently interpret resin and petrochemical markets, validate supplier pricing, anticipate feedstock movements, and improve global sourcing decisions. This role will work closely with the Sr. Manager, Resin Supply Chain and partner across Supply Chain, Finance, Manufacturing, Engineering, suppliers, and senior leadership.

The successful candidate will use market evidence, contract logic, indices, global source intelligence, and commercial judgment to recommend whether ABG should accept, challenge, defer, renegotiate, qualify an alternative, or change its sourcing posture.

Build the capability:
Create the models, databases, market-source network, forecast cadence, and decision routines that will become ABG's chemical intelligence operating system.

Map the value chain:
Connect upstream feed stocks, intermediates, capacity, outages, trade flows, freight, contracts, and timing to downstream resin economics.

Validate supplier pricing:
Test price requests against contract formulas, applicable indices, timing, historical movement, independent market evidence, and global context.

Forecast the market:
Develop recurring 30-, 60-, 90-day and quarterly views with clear assumptions, risks, scenarios, and commercial implications.

Monitor supply risk:
Track outages, force majeure events, capacity changes, geopolitical developments, regional supply-demand conditions, duties, freight, and trade flows.

Evaluate source alternatives:
Assess domestic and imported options in partnership with Supply Chain, Engineering, and Manufacturing, including economics, lead time, qualification risk, and supply continuity.

Turn insight into action:
Translate complex technical and market information into a clear recommendation for sourcing and executive stakeholders.

Support commercial execution:
Serve as the analytical counterpart to the Sr. Manager, Resin Supply Chain in supplier negotiations and enterprise resin strategy.

Within the first 90 days, map priority value chains, supplier pricing mechanisms, indices, contract logic, data sources, and critical information gaps.

Create an initial historical database and a repeatable method for validating material supplier price adjustments.

By month six, establish a recurring market-intelligence and forecasting cadence that provides decision-ready views rather than supplier summaries.

By month nine, build a global source and market-monitoring view that tests domestic supplier narratives against regional and international market reality.

By month twelve, embed a repeatable enterprise operating system and demonstrate how the work affected sourcing, negotiation, cost validation, forecast confidence, or supply-risk decisions.

Direct experience with petrochemical feed stocks, chemical commodities, resin economics, or a closely related upstream-to-downstream value chain.

Personal authorship of supplier-price validation, formula- or index-based contract analysis, commodity sourcing recommendations, negotiation strategy, source evaluation, or another material commercial decision.

Working knowledge of global and regional supply, import/export sources, trade flows, freight, duties, lead time, qualification risk, and regional price spreads.

Ability to select and interpret relevant indices, reconcile them to contract mechanisms, build cost and forecast models, test scenarios, and explain forecast variance.

Evidence of building analytical tools, processes, databases, market networks, or intelligence routines in an immature or build environment.

Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to translate complex market evidence into an executive-ready recommendation.

Ability to work independently in a remote role while developing strong relationships across technical, operational, financial, and commercial teams.

Build something that does not yet exist:
Create the data, tools, market network, routines, and decision architecture that will define ABG's internal chemical intelligence capability.

See direct commercial impact:
Your work will shape supplier challenges, sourcing strategy, forecasts, alternative-source decisions, and enterprise risk responses.

Operate with meaningful visibility:
Partner directly with enterprise Supply Chain and work across Finance, Manufacturing, Engineering, suppliers, and senior leadership.

Own the point of view:
Move beyond reporting and become the trusted internal expert who explains what the market means and what the business should do.

This role is best suited for someone who has worked within or adjacent to the petrochemical supply chain and has used market intelligence to influence real commercial decisions.
