Network Analysis Manager – Operations Strategy, Planning & Insights
This role will support the development of long-term strategy for JWN's store, digital and reverse supply chain networks — shaping how product flows to and from customers to drive efficiency, cost savings, and service levels.
The team is looking for an analytical strategy professional, who independently develops and maintains advanced analyses and translates findings into practical recommendations. Success here means proactively identifying and driving strategic initiatives, using data to inform decisions, and partnering cross-functionally to strengthen network design, logistics, and operational agility.
This role translates mid- to long-term demand plans, supply sources, and physical asset locations into flow strategies that balance customer experience, service, and cost — spanning everything from multi-year capital and network plans to bi-annual operational flow plans.
The role's complexity is its edge: it demands someone who can move fluidly between theoretical strategy and operational reality, and who can align diverse teams — Merchandising, Inventory Deployment, Store Ops, Field Ops, Data Science, Technology, and Digital Ops — around trade-offs and a shared path forward. This role will navigate countless variables and details while delivering results across multiple organizations and geographies.
