Sourcing Optimization Manager

About the role

We are seeking a Process Mining Technical Analyst to provide technical support throughout process mining projects. The role focuses on data preparation, event-log development, process mining configuration, data validation, troubleshooting, and analytical support.

The successful candidate must understand process and material flows, particularly within warehouse, transportation, manufacturing, or supply chain environments. They will work closely with process mining consultants, data engineers, project managers, and client teams to ensure that the required data, process logic, KPIs, and dashboards are correctly developed and validated.

The role may contribute to identifying process issues and improvement opportunities, but developing business recommendations is not the primary responsibility.
