Business Designer (Global Supply Chain / Strategy & Business Design Focus)

Before You Apply (Important)

This role is not:

• A supply chain operations role

• A logistics / order management role

• A pure business analyst or data analyst role

• A process improvement / SOP role
  

Candidates whose experience is primarily in daily operations execution (order processing, logistics coordination, inventory control, customer service, compliance, QA, PMO support) are unlikely to be suitable.

Role Purpose

We are looking for individuals who are intentionally building a career in business and strategy, with a strong interest in how companies create value, make decisions, and design scalable business models in a global supply chain context.

This role supports senior stakeholders in:

• Framing business problems (not just solving tasks)

• Exploring new business models and value propositions

• Translating complex business questions into structured insights

• Supporting strategic discussions at management level
  

What You Will Do

Business & Strategy Support

• Support senior leaders in analyzing business challenges, market dynamics, and strategic options

• Help structure ambiguous problems into clear business questions and hypotheses

• Conduct research and analysis to support business model design, not just operational improvement

• Prepare materials that support management decision-making, not operational reporting
  

Cross-Functional Thinking

• Work across supply chain, technology, and business stakeholders to understand trade-offs and decision drivers

• Identify patterns, assumptions, and constraints that affect business outcomes

• Participate in discussions around value creation, cost structures, incentives, and scalability
  

Learning & Growth

• Actively build understanding of:

  • How global supply chain businesses make money

  • Why certain operating models succeed or fail

  • How digital and data capabilities enable (or limit) business strategy

• Learn to communicate insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  

What We Are Looking For

Required (Mindset & Intent Matter Most)

• Clear interest in business and strategy, not just execution

• Ability to explain why you are applying for this role, and how it fits your career direction

• Comfort working with ambiguous problems where answers are not predefined

• Willingness to ask “why” and challenge assumptions respectfully

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Experience Expectations

• Early-career to junior-level candidates are welcome

• Prior experience may come from:

  • Business analysis

  • Consulting

  • Strategy, planning, or commercial roles

  • Data or analytics roles with clear business exposure

Candidates with backgrounds primarily in operations execution (e.g. logistics coordination, order processing, inventory planning, customer service) should demonstrate clear and intentional transition toward business and strategy

Technical Skills (Secondary)

• Analytical skills (Excel, BI tools, basic data analysis)

• Familiarity with enterprise systems or data is a plus

• Technology skills are supporting, not core
  

What Will Strengthen Your Application

Candidates who progress typically demonstrate:

• A coherent career narrative (even if early-stage)

• Curiosity about how decisions are made, not just how work is done

• Interest in value creation, trade-offs, and business models

• Willingness to learn beyond functional silos
