Data Analyst
HydroJug, Inc. — Ogden, UT (On-Site) | Systems
About the Role
The Data Analyst — Operations is the dedicated analytics resource for HydroJug's Operations and Warehouse teams. You will own the reporting infrastructure that gives the Operations leadership team — demand planners, supply planners, inventory managers, the warehouse director — the data they need to make decisions every day. Forecast accuracy reporting, OTIF and fill-rate analytics, supplier scorecards, and inventory health views are your primary work products. You report to the Data Lead and feed data into HydroJug's S&OP forum as a standing contributor.
Responsibilities
• Forecast Accuracy Reporting: Build and maintain reports that track forecast accuracy by SKU, channel, and time horizon. Surface bias, identify systematic over/under-forecasting patterns, and provide the S&OP team with actionable visibility.
• OTIF & Fill-Rate Analytics: Own On-Time In-Full (OTIF) and fill-rate reporting across wholesale, DTC, and marketplace channels. Track trends, flag outliers, and provide root-cause analysis for misses.
• Supplier Scorecards: Build and maintain supplier performance scorecards covering delivery accuracy, lead time adherence, quality reject rates, and other agreed-upon KPIs. Distribute on a defined cadence to Supply Chain leadership.
• Inventory Health Views: Develop and maintain inventory health dashboards — days of supply, aging inventory, slow-movers, and overstock/understock signals by SKU and warehouse location.
• S&OP Support: Prepare the data pack for each S&OP cycle. Ensure leadership walks into the forum with current, accurate numbers — not stale data from last week.
• Ad-Hoc Analysis: Answer Operations and Warehouse leadership's data questions with rigor and speed. Define a clear SLA for ad-hoc requests and maintain it.
• Data Quality Advocacy: Flag upstream data quality issues that corrupt reporting. Partner with the broader Systems team to resolve.
Success Criteria
30 Days
- Fully onboarded on HydroJug's data infrastructure (NetSuite, warehouse management system, any BI tools in use). - Audit of existing Operations and Warehouse reporting completed; gap list delivered to Data Lead. - First S&OP data pack produced and reviewed with Operations leadership.
90 Days
- OTIF, fill-rate, and forecast accuracy reports live and running on a weekly/monthly cadence. - Supplier scorecard template built and first distribution cycle completed. - Inventory health dashboard in production; key stakeholders using it as a primary decision tool. - Ad-hoc request queue and SLA established.
180 Days
- Full Operations reporting suite live and trusted by the team — Data Lead and Operations leadership relying on it for S&OP and weekly decisions. - Supplier scorecards distributed on consistent cadence with measurable supplier engagement. - First data quality improvement initiative completed as a result of upstream issue identification.
• Your numbers match. Operations leadership never gets to the S&OP forum and discovers the data is wrong.
• You build reports that answer the right question, not just the easy one. A forecast accuracy report that doesn't surface bias is a vanity metric.
• You communicate findings clearly to non-data-native stakeholders — demand planners and warehouse managers don't speak SQL; your outputs do the translation.
• You escalate data quality issues immediately rather than building workarounds that mask the problem.
