As a Remote Operations Research Analyst, you will develop sophisticated optimization models, analyze massive datasets, and provide actionable insights that drive cost savings and operational excellence—all from the comfort of your home workspace.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain mathematical programming models that address complex logistics, inventory, and workforce scheduling challenges. Conduct extensive data mining and statistical analysis to uncover patterns, quantify risks, and forecast outcomes. Translate business objectives into quantitative formulations and validate solutions through simulation and sensitivity testing. Prepare concise executive summaries, detailed technical reports, and compelling presentations that convey findings to senior leadership and cross‑functional partners. You will work closely with supply chain managers, finance analysts, and IT teams to align operational metrics with strategic objectives, and you will enjoy the flexibility to set your own schedule while meeting project deadlines.

Requirements

Qualifications

A bachelor’s degree in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a closely related discipline is required; a master’s degree or MBA is strongly preferred. Demonstrated experience with optimization solvers such as Gurobi, CPLEX, or AMPL, combined with proficiency in Python, R, or SAS, is essential. Candidates should possess strong analytical reasoning, problem‑solving acumen, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences. Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) and cloud‑based analytics platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) is highly advantageous. You should have at least three years of hands‑on experience applying optimization techniques to real‑world supply chain or manufacturing problems. Experience with Python libraries such as PuLP, Pyomo, or OR-Tools is highly valued. Strong written communication skills are essential for documenting model assumptions and results.
