Data Analyst

About the Role

The Data Analyst — Operations is the dedicated analytics resource for Hydro Jug's Operations and Warehouse teams. You will own the reporting infrastructure that gives the Operations leadership team — demand planners, supply planners, inventory managers, the warehouse director — the data they need to make decisions every day. Forecast accuracy reporting, OTIF and fill-rate analytics, supplier scorecards, and inventory health views are your primary work products.

You report to the Data Lead and feed data into Hydro Jug's S&OP forum as a standing contributor.

• Forecast Accuracy Reporting:
  Build and maintain reports that track forecast accuracy by SKU, channel, and time horizon. Surface bias, identify systematic over/under-forecasting patterns, and provide the S&OP team with actionable visibility.
• OTIF & Fill-Rate Analytics:
  Own On-Time In-Full (OTIF) and fill-rate reporting across wholesale, DTC, and marketplace channels. Track trends, flag outliers, and provide root-cause analysis for misses.
• Supplier Scorecards:
  Build and maintain supplier performance scorecards covering delivery accuracy, lead time adherence, quality reject rates, and other agreed-upon KPIs. Distribute on a defined cadence to Supply Chain leadership.
• Inventory Health Views:
  Develop and maintain inventory health dashboards — days of supply, aging inventory, slow-movers, and overstock/understock signals by SKU and warehouse location.
• S&OP Support:
  Prepare the data pack for each S&OP cycle. Ensure leadership walks into the forum with current, accurate numbers — not stale data from last week.
• Ad-Hoc Analysis:
  Answer Operations and Warehouse leadership's data questions with rigor and speed. Define a clear SLA for ad-hoc requests and maintain it.
• Data Quality Advocacy:
  Flag upstream data quality issues that corrupt reporting. Partner with the broader Systems team to resolve.

• Fully onboarded on Hydro Jug's data infrastructure (Net Suite, warehouse management system, any BI tools in use).
• Audit of existing Operations and Warehouse reporting completed; gap list delivered to Data Lead.
• First S&OP data pack produced and reviewed with Operations leadership.

• OTIF, fill-rate, and forecast accuracy reports live and running on a weekly/monthly cadence.
• Supplier scorecard template built and first distribution cycle completed.
• Inventory health dashboard in production; key stakeholders using it as a primary decision tool.
• Ad-hoc request queue and SLA established.

• Full Operations reporting suite live and trusted by the team — Data Lead and Operations leadership relying on it for S&OP and weekly decisions.
• Supplier scorecards distributed on consistent cadence with measurable supplier engagement.
• First data quality improvement initiative completed as a result of upstream issue identification.

• Your numbers match. Operations leadership never gets to the S&OP forum and discovers the data is wrong.
• You build reports that answer the right question, not just the easy one. A forecast accuracy report that doesn't surface bias is a vanity metric.
• You communicate findings clearly to non-data-native stakeholders — demand planners and warehouse managers don't speak SQL; your outputs do the translation.
• You escalate data quality issues immediately rather than building workarounds that mask the problem.

• Reports to:
  
  Data Lead (open)
• Primary stakeholders:
  Operations team (demand planning, supply planning, inventory management);
  Warehouse leadership; S&OP forum participants
