What am I getting myself into?
Hi,
I've recently applied for a SIOP position which is typically outside my realm. I have a forestry background, not business or supply chain management. They seem very eager to talk to me. As I've read through the job description a SIOP analyst just seems like someone who is data heavy and utilizes BI dashboard tools to generate reports/summaries to help guide decision making processes as well as guide both long-term and short term strategy. Is my understanding correct? I know there is likely nuance to it but that is the gist of it I am getting. For reference this is for a forest products company. My background is very analysis heavy with a lot of mathematical/statistical modelling in R or Python with a geospatial component to it.
Any feedback and insight is greatly appreciated.
