About The Role

CarMax sources hundreds of thousands of vehicles each year through consumer purchases, auctions, and other channels. Each vehicle goes through a complex journey from acquisition through reconditioning and logistics before it's ready to be sold to customers. The Supply Chain Strategy team leverages data, analytics, and strategy to optimize this journey, ensuring we purchase an optimal mix of cars, recondition those cars efficiently, and move them through our network to support growth of our retail sales.

There are several sub-teams on Supply Chain Strategy who focus on different parts of the vehicle lifecycle. As a Sr. Analyst in Supply Chain Strategy, you will work with business partners in our Product, Technology, and Operations to help drive the supply chain business forward on a team focused on one of these areas:

• Consumer Supply Strategy - Works to optimize how we acquire vehicles directly from consumers through our digital and omnichannel processes
• B2B Strategy - Works to enhance the way we exchange with other businesses through selling at our auction or buying directly from third parties
• Merchandising Strategy - Works to ensure we can evaluate and buy vehicles through all channels through efficient and effective operations
• Logistics Strategy - Works to optimize vehicle movement throughout our network and balance the tradeoff of cost and speed
• Service Operations Strategy - Works to enhance reconditioning operations, ensuring vehicles are prepared efficiently and to quality standards that support customer satisfaction
