Business Analyst

The Business Analyst – Procurement Analytics & Resilience is responsible for building and scaling data-driven insights across commodities, cost structures, supply risk, and BOM-level intelligence.

This role sits at the intersection of Procurement, Engineering, Finance, and Supply Chain and will enable proactive decision-making through advanced analytics, cost modeling, and risk intelligence.

The analyst will play a critical role in strengthening supply assurance, improving cost competitiveness, and enabling early identification and mitigation of supply and financial risks across the full product lifecycle.

• Cost Modeling & Financial Analytics
• Build and maintain should-cost models across key commodities and components
• Perform cost decomposition (materials, labor, overhead, margin) to identify savings opportunities
• Support sourcing and negotiation strategies with quantified cost targets and benchmarking
• Partner with Finance to align cost assumptions, validate savings, and support ROI-based decision-making
• BOM & Part-Level Analytics
• Analyze bill-of-materials (BOM) structures to identify cost, risk, and standardization opportunities
• Build scalable BOM health dashboards to improve visibility into component risk and cost optimization opportunities
• Identify single-source exposure, lifecycle risks (e.g., EOL), and opportunities for part consolidation or platforming
• Support NPI teams with early-stage BOM analytics to drive design-to-cost and supply resilience
• Supply Risk, Resilience & Mitigation
• Develop component- and supplier-level risk models (single-source, geo, capacity, financial health)
• Enable proactive risk identification across Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3 supply chain layers
• Quantify business impact (revenue risk, supply continuity risk) and prioritize mitigation actions
• Track mitigation execution (dual-sourcing, LTAs, buffer strategies) and measure effectiveness

• Build and scale analytics solutions (Power BI, SQL, Python, or equivalent) for real-time visibility
• Integrate data across procurement, engineering, planning, and finance systems
• Develop executive-level dashboards covering:
• • Component risk exposure
  • Cost trends and savings opportunities
  • Supplier performance and SLA compliance
• Drive automation of manual processes (BOM analysis, cost tracking, risk scoring)
• Cross-Functional Enablement
• Partner with Engineering on design trade-offs balancing cost, performance, and supply risk
• Collaborate with Category Managers to embed analytics into sourcing decisions
• Support NPI, PMO, and Supply Chain teams with insights that influence product readiness and execution
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership
