Now Brewing – optimization lead! #tobeapartner
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.
Build the systems, insights, and capabilities that power the future of our supply chain. This role sits at the intersection of sourcing, supply chain strategy, planning, technology, and analytics. Play a critical role in shaping how our sourcing organization operates, designing scalable solutions, and delivering predictive and proactive insights that enable better, faster decisions across the business. You’ll partner closely with sourcing, planning, technology teams, and cross functional stakeholders to deliver spend analytics and market insights and translate business needs into effective system capabilities. From driving adoption of tools to building forward looking reporting and alerts, your work will directly influence how we anticipate demand, manage risk and complexity, and continuously improve how we operate. This is a rare opportunity to move beyond “running the plan” and instead help design the systems, insights, and ways of working that define how planning happens. Your work will improve visibility, reduce friction, and enable smarter decisions—at scale.
YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead planning technology evolution by translating business needs into system capabilities, guiding implementations, driving adoption, and partnering with technology teams to ensure tools enable planners effectively.
- Drive continuous improvement and standardization by identifying enhancement opportunities, delivering prioritized initiatives, and strengthening consistent sourcing processes and best practices across teams.
- Advance reporting and insights by building sustainable KPI frameworks, proactive alerts, and trusted analytics that improve visibility, decision making, and sourcing/supply chain performance.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Advanced Excel – complex formulas, Power Query, pivot tables, data validation, scenario modeling
- SQL – ability to write and interpret queries to extract, validate, and analyze data from large datasets
- Sourcing and Supply Chain Systems – hands on experience with enterprise planning tools (e.g., SAP Ariba, Oracle, o9, APO, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, or similar)
- Reporting & BI Tools – experience designing and maintaining dashboards and reports (Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent)
- Data Analysis & Quality Management – identifying data issues, root causes, and working with partners to improve data integrity
- 4 year college degree.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Supply Chain Optimization
Align your degree to the right TN category
TN visa eligibility for supply chain roles typically falls under Industrial Engineer or Management Consultant. Your degree field must match the category on your TN application, so confirm which classification your job duties and credentials support before you apply.
Build a supply chain portfolio before recruiting
Document measurable outcomes from past optimization work: cycle time reductions, inventory turns improved, demand forecast accuracy gains. U.S. hiring managers in operations-heavy industries want evidence of impact, not just familiarity with tools like SAP or Kinaxis.
Target employers with recent visa filings
Use Migrate Mate's data on recent visa filings to identify companies that have sponsored work visas for supply chain or industrial engineering roles in the past two years. These employers already understand visa sponsorship processes and are far less likely to withdraw an offer over visa concerns.
Search TN-specific roles through Migrate Mate
Filter by TN visa eligibility and job function on Migrate Mate to find supply chain and operations roles at employers with verified sponsorship history. This cuts out the guesswork of cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with TN status.
Clarify the TN support letter requirements before your offer stage
Your employer must prepare a support letter before you can present your TN application at the border or consulate. Raise this timeline early in negotiations so HR isn't caught off guard, since support letter preparation typically takes a few business days.
Prepare a detailed support letter for border entry
Canadian professionals applying for TN status at a port of entry need a support letter from the employer that specifies your job title, duties, degree requirement, and TN category. Vague letters are a common cause of secondary inspection or denial at the border.

Find Supply Chain Optimization JobsSupply Chain Optimization TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a supply chain optimization role actually qualify for TN status?
Yes, but the classification depends on your specific duties and credentials. Roles focused on process modeling, network design, or logistics systems typically qualify under Industrial Engineer if your degree is in industrial engineering or operations research. Roles with a management consulting angle may qualify under Management Consultant. The job duties in your support letter must match the TN category you claim, and CBP officers have discretion to question borderline cases.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for supply chain professionals?
TN has no lottery and no annual cap for Canadians, so you can start work as soon as your application is approved rather than waiting for an October 1 start date. H-1B selection is randomized and takes months even if you're chosen. The trade-off is that TN doesn't directly lead to permanent residence the way H-1B does, which matters if you're planning a long-term career in the U.S. For supply chain professionals with a qualifying degree who want to start quickly, TN is often the faster path.
What documentation does a supply chain employer need to sponsor TN status?
The employer must prepare a support letter on company letterhead that outlines your job title, duties, start date, compensation, and the TN category being claimed. For Canadians, you'll present this letter at a U.S. port of entry; for Mexicans, your employer submits it as part of your consulate application. Unlike H-1B, there's no government petition filing required, which keeps the process lighter on the employer side and faster overall. The TN process relies on documentation rather than pre-approval, making it one of the quickest work visa pathways available.
Where can I find supply chain jobs where employers already know TN sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter supply chain and operations roles by TN visa eligibility and employer sponsorship history, so you're not spending time educating hiring managers about how TN works. Employers surfaced on Migrate Mate have demonstrable sponsorship track records, which reduces the risk of an offer falling through late in the process when HR discovers the visa requirements.
Can Mexican supply chain professionals use the TN visa the same way Canadians can?
Mexican citizens are also eligible for TN status under USMCA, but the process differs. Mexicans must apply at a U.S. consulate and go through a formal visa interview rather than applying at a port of entry. There is also a numerical limit on TN visas issued to Mexican nationals each year, whereas Canadians face no cap. Both nationalities need an employer support letter documenting the role, qualifications, and job duties.
