Sr. Network Optimization Modeler

Job Description

• Take immediate ownership of USAC (U.S. and Canada) network optimization modeling, serving as the primary model owner.
• Review, validate, and manage the 2025 model refresh and forward-looking models (2026-2028), ensuring accuracy and usability for leadership decision-making.
• Serve as a key contributor in new business and ad hoc modeling requests, quickly assessing how requests fit into the broader network optimization framework and taking action.
• Collaborate closely with: Network optimization leadership, Other specialized modelers (transportation, simulation, inventory), Supply chain finance partners, Planning teams and internal logistics stakeholders
• Support internal "customer-facing" needs, reacting to evolving logistics and supply chain questions while helping prioritize work across competing requests.
• Contribute to a center-of-excellence-style modeling team, where specialization exists but network optimization capability remains core to the role.
