CarMax, the way your career should be

About The Team

The Supply Chain Strategy team is a community of analysts with a variety of strategic and technical skillsets. We work together to continually improve CarMax’s ability to optimize the acquisition, movement, and reconditioning of each of the over 900,000 vehicles we sold to retail customers last year, as well as optimizing our auctions for the over 700,000 wholesale cars we sold to other dealers.

Our team tackles complex problems while striving to be a great representation of CarMax’s 4 core values:

Do the Right Thing: We prioritize maintaining the culture of integrity which has set CarMax apart in the used car industry, and promote a respectful and inclusive environment at work

Put People First: We’re focused on nurturing associate development and on maintaining a healthy work culture, while also making sure our customers are offered a great experience

Win Together: Teamwork is essential to what we do; we regularly learn from each other and draw on each other’s expertise and perspectives

Go for Greatness: We continually improve our abilities and the products that we support, to reinforce CarMax’s position as an industry leader

About The Role

CarMax relies on our supply chain as a key differentiator. Key questions include how many cars we should acquire, which acquisition channels we should prioritize, how to optimize those channels, how to efficiently move millions of cars a year, when and where to recondition those vehicles, how to best allocate the retail cars across our 200+ stores, and how to maximize profitability in our auctions for our wholesale cars. Doing so ensures that we have the right cars at the right prices in the right location to meet our retail and wholesale customers’ needs. As we continue to innovate our business and shift more of our buying and selling online, we increasingly need to answer those questions quickly with less human intervention. Our team of business analysts play a critical role in unlocking the business value from these innovations by partnering closely with our Store Operations and Product/Technology business partners.

As a Director of Supply Strategy, you will lead a team of analysts to 1) Deliver key strategic and analytical insights to drive improved performance, 2) Discover high-value improvement opportunities, 3) Support the systems and reports to drive ongoing execution. Our Supply strategy teams are deeply embedded within our Store Operations departments, and this role offers the opportunity to work closely with top executives in Store Operations and beyond.

  • Periodically conduct or facilitate ad hoc research to support special projects within the Strategy group.
