About The Position

The Logistics Analyst supports the logistics function by turning data into actionable intelligence. Reporting to the Director of Logistics, this role owns the department's reporting infrastructure, freight spend analysis, and performance tracking across carriers, vendors, and projects. The Analyst is the connective tissue between raw logistics data and the decisions made by the Director, Coordinators, and cross-functional partners. This is a highly analytical role with broad visibility across the logistics operation. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in Excel and BI tools, curious about what the data is telling them, and disciplined about maintaining clean, reliable data systems. This role is well-suited for someone early in their supply chain or logistics career who wants to build deep operational knowledge while developing a strong analytical foundation.

Requirements

• 1–4 years of experience in logistics, supply chain, operations, or a related analytical role.
• Strong proficiency in Excel — pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, data modeling, and dashboard building are expected day-one skills.
• Experience with data visualization or reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, Smartsheet, or similar).
• Comfort working with large, multi-source datasets and synthesizing findings into clear summaries.
• Detail-oriented with strong data hygiene habits — able to maintain accurate records across multiple concurrent projects.
• Clear written and verbal communicator; able to present data findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business Analytics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• Familiarity with freight operations concepts: LTL, FTL, FCL/LCL ocean freight, Incoterms, customs documentation, or carrier billing structures.
• Prior exposure to ERP or SCM platforms (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar).
• Experience in an energy, electrical equipment, data center, or industrial project environment.
• Exposure to freight audit and payment processes, or logistics cost accounting.
• Interest in growing into a Logistics Coordinator or operations leadership track.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain logistics dashboards, trackers, and reporting tools across Smartsheet, Power BI, and Excel.
• Build and update weekly, monthly, and project-level logistics performance reports for the Director and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Ensure logistics data integrity — shipment records, freight costs, delivery dates, carrier performance — across all active projects.
• Develop and maintain a centralized freight spend database, tracking actuals against budgeted logistics costs by project, vendor, and freight mode.
• Analyze freight invoices and carrier billing against contracted rates; flag discrepancies and support resolution with carriers.
• Track cost-per-shipment and cost-per-project metrics; surface trends and variances to the Director of Logistics.
• Support budget forecasting by modeling freight costs for upcoming project pipelines based on equipment types, origins, and delivery timelines.
• Assist in evaluating carrier and forwarder quotes; build comparison models to support sourcing and routing decisions.
• Maintain scorecards for freight carriers, 3PL partners, and freight forwarders — tracking on-time delivery, damage rates, invoice accuracy, and responsiveness.
• Compile data for quarterly business reviews with key logistics vendors; prepare supporting analysis and performance summaries for the Director.
• Identify underperforming vendors based on data patterns and flag findings with supporting documentation.
• Support the Director in identifying and documenting opportunities to improve logistics workflows, tools, and standards.
• Assist in developing and maintaining logistics SOPs, templates, and onboarding materials for the Coordinator team.
• Research logistics industry benchmarks, freight market conditions, and carrier capacity trends to inform departmental strategy.
• Contribute to special projects, including system implementations, tool migrations, and cross-functional analytics initiatives.
• Coordinate with Finance on freight accruals, invoice coding, and cost allocation across projects.
• Support the Coordinator team with documentation audits, shipment record reconciliation, and data cleanup as needed.
• Assist with import/export documentation review — ensuring packing lists, commercial invoices, and compliance records are complete and accurately logged.
• Respond to ad hoc data requests from Project Management, Procurement, and executive leadership.
