Role Overview

Reporting to the Director, Strategic Sourcing, the Business Analyst is responsible for delivering high‑quality analytical support across strategic sourcing categories while also contributing to broader commercial and business opportunity assessments. The role combines core supply chain analytics – including spend analysis, cost modelling, market intelligence, and support for developing sourcing strategies – with light commercial and financial analysis to evaluate potential value creation opportunities.

The Analyst works closely with Category Managers to evaluate internal demand, external supply markets, should‑cost dynamics, and vendor capabilities, and provides structured insights that help advise on negotiations, contracting approaches, and strategic sourcing initiatives. In addition, the Analyst contributes to early‑stage business case development for select commercial opportunities, applying fundamental financial modelling and structured problem‑solving to assess feasibility, risks, and value propositions.

This role is a key contributor in advancing Teck’s supply chain excellence and supports the broader transformation efforts to standardize data, improve analytical processes, and strengthen decision‑making within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) function.

The Analyst provides guidance that directly supports major sourcing decisions, commercial assessments, and process improvement activities. Internal contacts include Category Managers, SCM leadership, site supply teams, and cross‑functional partners involved in commercial assessments. External contacts include suppliers, industry data providers, and subject matter experts.

This role can be based in Vancouver, BC or in Toronto, ON.
