From the employer
Job Description
NOTE: This position is offered as a hybrid role in the Seattle, WA area. You must be willing to work in office at the Nordstrom Seattle office for a minimum of 4 days per week to be considered for this position.
The Data Analyst 3 - Anaplan Model Builder will be a member of the S&OP/S&OE technical enablement team supporting NCoder, Nordstrom's network volume planning product within Supply Chain Network Throughput Planning. NCoder transforms cross-functional enterprise plans and forecasts into warehouse-level volume plans across six connected Anaplan models — Inbound, DC Outbound, Store Inbound, Returns, and Task, staged through a central DataHub — informing operational resource decisions across Nordstrom's distribution centers, fulfillment centers, and stores. The Data Analyst 3 - Anaplan Model Builder will own the design, build, and maintenance of NCoder's Anaplan models, partnering closely with Supply Chain planners and engineering to keep the platform scalable, well-governed, and aligned to evolving business needs.
A day in the life…
- Design, build, and maintain modules, dashboards, and calculation logic across NCoder's Anaplan models (Inbound, DC Outbound, Store Inbound, Returns, Task)
- Partner with Supply Chain planners and product/engineering leads to translate volume-planning requirements into scalable Anaplan model designs
- Manage and troubleshoot data connections between Anaplan and DataHub, the central staging layer that receives all external data from BigQuery via Airflow import DAGs
- Maintain the model sequence and dependencies across Workstream 1 (Inbound → DC Outbound → Store Inbound) and Workstream 2 (Returns, running independently), both feeding the downstream Task model
- Optimize models for performance and usability as planning cadence, data volume, and new workflows (e.g., fulfillment, last mile) come online
- Document model logic, data flows, and business rules to support governance, onboarding, and audit needs
- Partner with data engineering on BigQuery source/destination tables and Airflow DAG issues that affect model refreshes
- Train and support Supply Chain planners and downstream consumers (Warehouse Ops, Transportation, Store Ops, SC Finance) on using NCoder models
- Leverage AI-assisted tools such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop to accelerate model documentation, testing, and workflow automation
You own this if you have…
- Degree in Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
- 3-5+ years building and maintaining Anaplan models; Anaplan Certified Model Builder (Level 3) or equivalent preferred
- Strong understanding of Anaplan architecture: modules, lists, hierarchies, actions, dashboards, hub-and-spoke model design
- Experience with data integration/ETL — BigQuery, Airflow-orchestrated pipelines, or similar
- Comfortable with SQL for querying source and destination tables
- Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into structured technical model designs
- Supply chain domain experience preferred (DC/FC/store operations, inbound/outbound logistics, returns, or labor/task planning)
- Comfortable presenting to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
