Role purpose

As a Supply Chain Analyst, you will be a key member of the HELP Logistics Asia team, reporting to the Regional Director, Asia. You will support consulting and applied research projects for humanitarian, development, UN and public-sector partners, translating operational evidence into practical recommendations that strengthen supply chain performance and organisational effectiveness.

The role combines (but is not limited to) supply chain assessment, quantitative and qualitative analysis, business process mapping, project coordination and stakeholder facilitation. Working with internal supply chain advisors, you will help structure workplans, collect and analyse data, map current processes, test improvement initiatives and communicate findings through clear reports, dashboards and management presentations.

Based in Singapore, you will collaborate with colleagues, researchers and partners across Asia and other regions. You will contribute to workshops, training activities, publications and knowledge products, while supporting the implementation of recommendations where required. The position requires travel of up to 60%, primarily within Asia and occasionally to other HELP offices or project locations.
