Job Description

Data Analysis & Insights Generation

• Conduct deep-dive analyses on logistics operations data to identify cost drivers, service gaps, efficiency opportunities, and risk areas across transportation modes (ocean, air, ground, rail).
• Perform root-cause analysis on logistics exceptions, delays, and cost variances, providing leadership with clear explanations and data-backed recommendations.
• Build and maintain analytical models in Excel, Python, or SQL to support scenario planning, freight benchmarking, and lane-level performance analysis.
• Synthesize large, multi-source datasets into concise, meaningful narratives that highlight the “so what” behind the numbers for non-technical stakeholders.
• Monitor key logistics metrics and proactively flag anomalies, trends, or emerging issues to leadership before they become operational problems.

Executive & Leadership Data Support

• Serve as the primary analyst supporting leadership data requests—triaging, prioritizing, and fulfilling ad hoc analytical asks from Directors, VPs, and the Chief Supply Chain Officer with speed and accuracy.
• Prepare executive-ready data packages, briefing decks, and slide materials for business reviews, QBRs, Board presentations, and leadership offsites.
• Partner directly with logistics leaders to understand their strategic questions and proactively build self-serve reporting tools that reduce dependency on ad hoc requests over time.
• Develop and maintain a standardized logistics metrics glossary and reporting governance framework to ensure consistency of definitions across teams and stakeholders.
• Facilitate data storytelling—transforming raw analytical findings into compelling narratives with appropriate visualizations, context, and recommended actions.

Data Governance & Quality

• Own data quality monitoring for key logistics datasets, establishing validation checks, alerting processes, and remediation workflows to maintain data integrity.
• Document data sources, transformation logic, report definitions, and refresh schedules to ensure operational continuity and knowledge transfer.
• Partner with IT and data governance teams to ensure logistics data assets comply with enterprise data standards, privacy requirements, and audit controls.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with supply chain planning, procurement, finance, and operations teams to integrate logistics data with broader business analytics initiatives.
• Support digital transformation programs (Control Tower, Digital Twin, AI workflows) by providing analytical expertise, data validation, and reporting infrastructure.
• Train and enable logistics operations team members to leverage self-serve Power BI reports and reduce reliance on manual data pulls.

Power BI Report Development & Management

• Design, build, and maintain enterprise-grade Power BI dashboards and reports that provide leadership with real-time and historical visibility into logistics KPIs—including freight spend, on-time delivery, carrier performance, transit times, and inventory flow.
• Develop and manage the Global Logistics reporting suite, ensuring reports are accurate, refreshed on schedule, visually intuitive, and aligned to leadership requirements.
• Implement best-in-class data modeling practices in Power BI, including star schema design, DAX measures, calculated columns, and row-level security (RLS) for appropriate data access.
• Work with IT and data engineering teams to establish reliable data pipelines feeding Power BI from source systems including EDW, TMS, carrier portals, and third-party visibility platforms.
• Continuously improve report usability and performance based on stakeholder feedback, usage analytics, and emerging Power BI capabilities.

• Advanced proficiency in Power BI, including data modeling, DAX, Power Query (M language), report design, and workspace administration.

Analytical & Business Skills

• Exceptional analytical acumen with the ability to work across structured and unstructured datasets to generate actionable insights.

• Proven ability to manage competing priorities, respond to urgent leadership data requests, and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
