Apply NowCompany: Weyerhauser Company

Description:
At Weyerhaeuser, we are the world's premier timber, land, and forest products company. Sustainability is the founding concept of our business and our values drive every decision to ensure we continue to lead the forestry industry in sustainability practices. And we know about sustainability - we led it in the forestry industry when we planted our first seedling by hand in 1938. We recognize that our success is dependent on the success of our people. For over 125 years, our Weyerhaeuser team has been making a difference in the world - from the seedlings we plant, to the forests and trees we nurture, we ensure every acre is managed with diligence, patience and pride. That's the Weyerhaeuser way.
We are looking for a data scientist who is passionate about opportunities to improve business processes for our Wood Products supply chain and the Sales & Marketing business. We have an integrated supply chain with our Timberlands business sourcing logs to our Wood Products business that manufactures products like lumber, OSB, and engineered lumber products that get sold thru our distribution network to 3rd party customers. This presents some very interesting and complex opportunities to solve for optimizing our supply chain and how we price and sell products into the market.
You have experience with optimizing pricing and/or supply chain processes and have analyzed large datasets to build advanced models that improve operations. You are skilled at analyzing and identifying areas for improving operational excellence and determining how to apply the appropriate advanced analytic solutions. You have a high attention to detail, but are good at seeing the big picture, and aren't afraid to think outside the box, and champion your ideas. You have experience articulating opportunity, as well as creating and successfully managing projects that drive operational excellence. You are effective at communicating timely and relevant information to business leaders and internal partners.
The position is part of our central Data & Analytics team and will be located in Seattle, WA.
