About the team and position

The Senior Analyst, Capacity Planning at ADESA (owned by Carvana) will play a pivotal role in optimizing the layout and efficiency of our inspection centers and auction facilities. As Carvana continues to grow and ADESA’s auctioning facilities play a major role, this position is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the success by ensuring smooth, organized, and efficient use of our auction spaces.

This position involves analyzing and interpreting data to ensure the most effective use of space, accommodating various vehicle sizes and maximizing storage capacity. This person will collaborate closely with operational teams to identify areas for improvement and implement strategic plans that enhance workflow, reduce congestion, and improve the strategies for how we grow our auction and reconditioning capabilities.

Key responsibilities include creating detailed space / capacity utilization models and reports, developing innovative layout solutions, and monitoring the effectiveness of implemented changes. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, experience in capacity planning or logistics, and knowledge of SQL (ideally using Snowflake!).

What you’ll be doing

Using Your Technical Chops :

• SQL isn't just a language, it's our daily dialect. It's the tool that empowers us to dive deep and make sense of our data.
• You’ll be a wizard with business intelligence tools like Tableau or another visualization tool.
• As a visual storyteller, you'll transform raw, unstructured data into compelling narratives, meticulously choosing the most effective visualizations. Your craftsmanship will turn information into inspiration, distilling data into precise insights that captivate and inspire.
• Your curiosity won't just drive you, it'll define you. Your technical ability and statistical knowledge won't allow you to be content with just scratching the surface; you'll dig deeper to find the truth in the data, the story behind the numbers.
