Thornwood Analytics · Bangui, Central African Republic
About the role
Join Thornwood Analytics as a Supply Chain Manager in Bangui and keep the operational machine running and getting better every week.
Job description
Thornwood Analytics is hiring a Supply Chain Manager to join the team in Bangui, Central African Republic. We're a growing organisation in our space and the next person in this seat will help us scale how we serve customers across the region.
You'll keep the engine running. That means owning the day-to-day operational systems that let the rest of the company do its job, and continually finding ways to make them faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
This role is a fixed-term contract. You'll partner closely with finance, customer support, suppliers, and senior leadership and report into the relevant team lead. We move fast, give people real ownership, and keep the bureaucracy low — if that sounds like the kind of environment you do your best work in, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do
- Own the day-to-day operations of your function — process, tooling, vendor management, the lot.
- Document SOPs and runbooks so the work survives anyone individual leaving.
- Identify bottlenecks and ship operational improvements with measurable cycle-time impact.
- Manage supplier and vendor relationships, including contract renewals and SLAs.
- Run weekly reporting to the leadership team on operational health and risks.
- Hire, onboard, and develop the team — both directly and through other team leads.
What you'll need
- 5+ years in an operations role at a service or product business.
- Demonstrated ability to design a process from scratch and roll it out across a team.
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills and comfort with light SQL.
- Calm under pressure — you don't panic when something on-call breaks at 11pm.
- Excellent written communication and stakeholder management across functions.
Perks & benefits
- Free team lunches every Friday and quarterly company offsites
- Annual learning budget you can spend on courses, books, or conferences
- Mentorship from senior leaders across the business
- Generous paid leave plus all public holidays observed in your country
- Pension or retirement contributions matched up to 7%
