Digital Innovation Analyst

Key Responsibility:

● Identify high-impact automation opportunities with sourcing function partners and lead end-to-end deployment of agentic AI solutions — using platforms such as Claude (Code and Cowork) — across recurring workflows including data reconciliation, analytics, business intelligence research, and reporting dashboards.

● Map existing sourcing and supply chain processes end-to-end; re-engineer manual or redundant steps using AI tooling, prompt engineering, and low-code/scripting automation.

● Build, integrate and maintain AI-assisted analytics outputs and dashboards (Smartsheet, Tableau, Excel) that provide sourcing performance insights and forward-looking business intelligence for executive audiences.

● Act as the internal AI champion for the sourcing team — translate technical AI capabilities into business language, upskill teammates, and drive sustainable tool adoption across functions.

● Collaborate cross-functionally with Planning, Merchandising, QA, and IT to align AI initiatives with broader business goals and system integration requirements (SAP, Infor Nexus, Centric PLM).

● Prepare and present project updates, business cases, and initiative scorecards to senior and VP-level leadership; communicate AI project outcomes as strategic impact narratives.

● Manage multiple AI projects concurrently as an individual contributor, maintaining a structured project tracker and driving deliverables from scoping through handoff without direct reports.

Key Competencies:

● Bachelor's degree or above in Business, Information Systems, Supply Chain, Computer Science, or a related field.

● Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, or equivalent agentic AI platforms — beyond surface-level use.

● Practical prompt engineering skills; understands AI system behavior and limitations, not just interface operation.

● Strong analytical foundation: advanced Excel, data modelling, and business process documentation.

● Proven track record delivering projects independently as an individual contributor without direct reports.

● Excellent communication and presentation skills — comfortable preparing and presenting materials to VP and executive-level stakeholders.

● Sourcing, supply chain, or apparel/footwear operations background preferred but not required.

● Familiarity with Smartsheet, Centric PLM, SAP, or Infor Nexus is a meaningful advantage.

● Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent analytics/visualization tools.

● Scripting or automation exposure (Python, VBA, or low-code platforms) preferred.
