Advance Auto Parts is seeking a high performing candidate to join our Supply Chain Strategy & Ops team. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role responsible for driving analytical insights, strategic initiatives, and transformational change across our end-to-end supply chain.
This role is ideal for a self-driven problem solver who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys breaking down complex business problems, excels at pulling together rigorous analytics and is motivated by measurable business impact. You will work closely with supply chain leadership and cross-functional partners to shape strategy, develop scalable solutions, and enable data-driven decision making that improves performance today while building the supply chain capabilities of the future.
The Senior Supply Chain Analyst will play a critical role in turning data into insight, insight into strategy, and strategy into execution.
What Will You Do?
Strategy & Transformation
- Support the development and execution of multi-year supply chain strategies aligned to enterprise objectives.
- Identify high-impact opportunities across network design, replenishment, transportation, and fulfillment to improve cost, service, and working capital.
- Translate broad strategic objectives into structured analyses, actionable recommendations, and executable roadmaps.
- Partner with Supply Chain Transformation leaders to design, prototype, test, and scale new processes, tools, capabilities, and decision frameworks.
Analytical Problem Solving & Business Impact
- Tackle open-ended and ambiguous supply chain problems using a structured, hypothesis-driven approach.
- Independently define problem statements, determine appropriate analyses, and work through incomplete or imperfect data.
- Build advanced analytical models to quantify opportunities, tradeoffs, and risks.
- Measure impact, track results, and continuously refine recommendations based on performance.
Advanced Data, Analytics, and Insights
- Leverage large, complex data sets to uncover trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities across the supply chain.
- Apply strong SQL skills and advanced analytics to extract, transform, and analyze data across multiple systems.
- Develop scalable analytical tools, dashboards, and models to support ongoing decision-making.
- Collaborate with data, IT, and analytics teams to improve data quality, accessibility, and analytical capabilities.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Influence
- Partner closely with Supply Chain, Inventory, Merchandising, Finance, Technology, and Store Operations teams.
- Communicate insights clearly and effectively to audiences ranging from analysts to senior leaders.
- Explain not just what the data says, but why it matters and how it should influence decisions.
- Influence without authority by building trust, credibility, and strong business understanding.
What Makes You Successful in This Role?
- You are energized by complex, ambiguous problems and comfortable operating without a predefined playbook.
- You are deeply analytical, but always focused on real-world business outcomes, not just analysis.
- You balance strategic thinking with a hands-on, execution-oriented mindset.
- You are curious, proactive, and driven to make things better—even when the path forward is not obvious or challenging.
- You can move seamlessly between data, strategy, and stakeholder communication.
Qualifications

- Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
Technical Skills

- Advanced Excel skills; comfort building analytical models and financial impact assessments.
- Experience with data visualization and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Python, R) preferred.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Field Operations Specialist
Target employers with established sponsorship programs
Large logistics, energy, and infrastructure companies sponsor Field Operations Specialists far more consistently than smaller firms. Employers with dedicated HR or immigration teams move faster and make fewer procedural errors during the petition process.
Confirm your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
USCIS requires the position to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Field operations roles that accept any degree or substitute years of experience without educational requirements face higher scrutiny and denial rates at initial filing.
Align your degree to the specific operations discipline
A degree in industrial engineering, supply chain management, or environmental science strengthens your petition significantly. General business degrees can work but require stronger employer documentation showing the role demands field-specific technical knowledge.
Get the Labor Condition Application filed early
Your employer must obtain a certified LCA from the Department of Labor before filing the H-1B petition. Field operations roles often cover multiple work sites, which requires careful LCA documentation of each location to avoid compliance issues later.
Document field site work carefully for multi-location roles
If your role involves rotating between client sites or field locations, your employer needs to address this in the petition. USCIS scrutinizes itinerant work arrangements, so detailed project scopes and assignment letters reduce the risk of a Request for Evidence.
Use Migrate Mate to focus your search on sponsoring employers
Not all employers advertising Field Operations Specialist roles will sponsor visas. Browsing Migrate Mate filters out positions where sponsorship is unavailable, so you spend your application effort on companies already prepared to support the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Field Operations Specialist role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, but it depends on how the employer defines the position. USCIS requires the job to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field like engineering, environmental science, or supply chain management. Roles framed around general supervision or physical labor without a degree requirement typically don't qualify. The job description and internal employer documentation carry significant weight in USCIS's determination.
Which visa types are most common for Field Operations Specialists?
H-1B visa is the most common path for employer-sponsored field operations roles. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify for TN visa status under the USMCA if their role aligns with an eligible TN category such as engineer or scientist. Australians with qualifying degrees can explore the E-3 visa. O-1 visa is an option for candidates with documented extraordinary achievement, though it's less common in operations roles.
Does my degree field matter for Field Operations Specialist sponsorship?
It matters a lot. USCIS evaluates whether your degree directly relates to the duties of the specific role. Engineering, environmental science, industrial technology, and supply chain degrees align cleanly with most field operations positions. A general business or unrelated liberal arts degree may still work if the employer provides strong documentation showing why the role requires that specific educational background.
Do Field Operations Specialist roles have high H-1B approval rates?
Approval rates vary by how the employer frames the role. Operations positions with clear technical and engineering components tend to fare better than broadly defined field supervisor roles. USCIS has historically issued Requests for Evidence at higher rates for non-traditional specialty occupation roles, so a well-documented petition with detailed job duties and degree requirements is essential to a successful outcome.
Where can I find Field Operations Specialist jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international candidates and filters roles by sponsorship availability, so you're not wasting time applying to companies that won't support a visa petition. Field operations roles with sponsorship appear across energy, utilities, logistics, and environmental services sectors. Searching Migrate Mate by role type lets you identify employers with an established track record of sponsoring this position.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Field Operations Specialist jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
