Full Job Description
Job Description:

We're looking for a Sr. Analyst to own the forecasting, budgeting, and spend analytics backbone of our NA Packaging organization. This role sits at the intersection of supply chain data, finance, and packaging engineering - turning demand signals and cost data into the guidance that keeps our packaging supply chain running efficiently across all NA brands. You'll join a small, collaborative team of analysts and packaging engineers, taking on a broad scope that spans forecasting, cost analytics, and tooling across the full NA portfolio.

You will...
  • Own the annual NA packaging budget - translating supplier plans into material volumes, network plans, and cost/box estimates by brand
  • Produce and validate the weekly in-week demand forecast across all NA brands (HelloFresh, EveryPlate, Green Chef, Factor), driving packaging material ordering and procurement decisions
  • Lead PKG spend analytics - weekly and month-end (MEC) budget vs. expected vs. actuals, variance investigations, and driving corrective actions with ops partners
  • Own the translation of packaging engineering configurations and network fulfillment requirements into a packaging forecast at all time horizons, leveraged in budgeting cycles, planning cycles, and week-to-week ordering. Measure and improve accuracy through budget cycles and ad hoc scenarios.
  • Maintain and evolve the packaging scripts codebase (Databricks, Airflow, Python, Snowflake) and core planning tools (Packaging Allocator, ODL/ADL files)
  • Conduct cost and supply impact analyses for packaging launches and transitions - new SKU introductions, format changes, fulfillment network shifts and supplier transitions
  • Serve as the analytics point of contact bridging Operations Engineering, Procurement, Fulfillment, Logistics, Planning, and Finance

You are...
  • Highly analytical, comfortable owning a forecast model end-to-end with minimal oversight
  • A clear communicator who can translate cost/variance data into decisions for non-technical stakeholders
  • Organized under pressure - this role sits on the critical path for budget cycles with hard deadlines
  • Proactive about flagging risk rather than waiting to be asked
  • Collaborative across Finance, Supply Chain Analytics, and Packaging Engineering
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and stepping into a scope that's still being defined

At a minimum, you have...
  • 3+ years of experience in supply chain analytics, FP&A, or operations analytics, ideally in packaging, manufacturing, or CPG/food
  • Proficiency in Databricks and Snowflake (or equivalent SQL-based platforms); Python and Airflow experience a strong plus
  • Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; hands-on experience with COGS or budget variance analysis
  • Experience with forecasting/demand planning models, ideally in a multi-brand or multi-SKU environment
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Analytics, Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience)

You'll get...
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid time off and holidays
  • Discounted or complimentary HelloFresh box subscription
  • Opportunities for professional growth and internal mobility
  • A collaborative, mission-driven culture with real ownership over your work
