Job Description:

At Abercrombie & Fitch Co., our Supply Chain is on a journey to build an AI-enabled, Always-On network that keeps the customer at the center of everything we do. Our priorities are grounded in Capacity, Capability, and Connectivity as we navigate Cost and Chaos in a dynamic environment.

  • Lead analysis for key initiatives, including operational, financial, and system impacts to inform leadership decisions
  • Conduct benchmarking and external research to validate assumptions and opportunities

Cross-Functional Alignment & Storytelling

  • Translate complex network and roadmap content into clear, executive-ready storytelling (visuals, headlines, and talking points)
  • Develop data-driven recommendations aligned to corporate and supply chain priorities
  • Lead working sessions to gather requirements, validate assumptions, and align stakeholders
  • Drive follow-ups, resolve open questions, and ensure alignment ahead of key decisions

AI & Innovation

  • Support and advance Supply Chain’s AI strategy and adoption
  • Incorporate AI tools into day-to-day analysis and workflows
  • Stay current on emerging tools and capabilities to drive continuous improvement

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, Industrial Engineering, or related field, plus 2+ years of relevant experience
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills; ability to build executive-ready models and presentations
  • Working knowledge of Power BI, SharePoint, Teams, and AI/Copilot tools
  • Familiarity with supply chain concepts such as fulfillment models, network flows, and operating structures
  • Curiosity for AI and emerging technologies
  • Strong cross-functional partnership and collaboration skills
  • Clear, concise communication with the ability to deliver executive-level storytelling
  • High attention to detail and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Ability to adapt, stay flexible, and navigate change with a positive attitude
  • SQL knowledge preferred
