Position Summary

Do you have a strong technical background? Do you like building tools and data pipelines that power complex business decisions? Marathon Petroleum Company LP (MPC) has an opening within the Value Chain Optimization organization on the Value Chain Insights team. Our mission is to power confident decisions across the value chain — building the trusted tools and data foundations that drive enterprise optimization and delivering the cutting-edge analytics and insights that increase trust and confidence in our reporting and reducing barriers to timely, actionable insight.

This role sits in the Model Interpretation vertical and is an individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and supporting enterprise optimization model case input tools that support Marathon's routine planning and optimization models across the value chain. Case input tools are applications that assemble, validate, and format the data required to run Marathon's Aspen PIMS and Aspen Petroleum Supply Chain Planner (PSCP) models for the full planning cycle, post-audits, and enterprise-wide optimization. This role requires expert-level Excel VBA development, strong SQL and data-pipeline skills, and a disciplined approach to building standardized, robust, low-maintenance solutions. Success depends on the ability to turn inconsistent or manual case-build processes into reliable, repeatable tooling; to partner closely with regional planning teams; and to bring engineering rigor, creative problem-solving, and attention to detail to every deliverable. This position has exposure and impact on other workstreams within the Model Interpretation team that include AI-assisted analytics and business intelligence platforms.
