Supply Chain Modelling Expert

#### **Job Purpose** The Kuehne Climate Center develops and implements solutions that transform logistics from a major source of emissions into an enabler of an effective climate transition. By decarbonizing logistics and supply chains and enabling the logistics required for industrial transformation, we aim to achieve durable, measurable, and meaningful climate impact. To achieve systemic impact at the scale of entire industries, countries, or regions, KCC is establishing a dedicated Scaling Team. Working closely with the Applied Research and Impact Delivery functions, the Scaling Team will evaluate the economic and ecological viability of potential solutions, develop business and implementation models for scaling, and mobilize the partners, financing, and operational structures required to implement solutions at scale. #### **What you will do** As **Supply Chain Modelling Expert** at KCC, you will develop quantitative supply chain and business models that help evaluate, design, and scale innovative logistics solutions for climate transformation. Working under the guidance of the Scaling Team Leader and in collaboration with colleagues across KCC, you will turn supply chain data, technical concepts, and economic assumptions into robust analyses and practical business models. Your work will help determine which solutions are economically and ecologically viable, how they should be designed and implemented, and what is required to achieve meaningful climate impact at scale. In particular you will * **Develop quantitative supply chain and business models** for innovative, climate-friendly logistics and supply chain solutions, evaluating their economic viability, ecological impact, and potential for large-scale implementation * **Conduct techno-economic and financial analyses**, including capital and operating cost modelling (CapEx/OpEx), investment requirements, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), break-even analyses, and sensitivity and scenario assessments, comparing proposed solutions with existing industry practices * **Analyse and model supply chain networks**, including transport and logistics structures, network optimization, infrastructure and location choices, capacity requirements, material and product flows, and greenfield or brownfield development options * **Develop cost projections and business models along supply chains**, assessing cost curves, economic incentives, value creation, and investment requirements for different actors and network components, and identifying conditions for commercially viable solutions * **Collect, structure, and analyse supply chain, market, and operational data**, including data from regions with limited information availability, using transparent assumptions, uncertainty ranges, and scenario-based approaches to develop robust and credible models * **Develop and improve modelling methodologies and tools**, including reusable supply chain model blueprints, standardized data
