22h

About The Position

The Network Planning Analyst will be responsible for translating data science forecasts into operational plans, managing client events, conducting daily variance reviews, owning the planning number, and operating within the Volume Radar system. This role requires strong analytical skills, the ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders, and clear communication, especially under pressure. The analyst will work closely with data science, ground operations, transportation, and client services teams to ensure accurate and actionable network planning.

Requirements

• Strong SQL — writes multi-CTE queries against a warehouse without hand-holding.
• Forecast translation and demand planning — can take a model output and turn it into a number an operator will actually trust and use.
• Excel / Sheets fluency for capacity modeling, forecast adjustment, and quick-turn analysis.
• Variance analysis and root-cause diagnosis — takes a miss, decomposes it, and feeds back something actionable.
• Cross-functional stakeholder management — translates fluently between DS, Ground Ops, Transportation, and Client Services.
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially under time pressure.
• Strong AI capabilities.
• 3–6 years in network planning, demand planning, S&OP, supply-chain analytics, transportation planning, or last-/middle-mile operations analytics.
• Has worked closely with a data science or forecasting team — has challenged a model output and fed signal back in.
• Has personally owned a planning number for a real operation (not just produced an analysis someone else acted on).

Nice To Haves

• Databricks SQL a plus.
• Parcel, last-mile, or middle-mile experience strongly preferred.
• Bonus: experience working alongside software engineers on an internal tool — writing tickets, reviewing changes, defining acceptance criteria.

Responsibilities

• Translate the DS forecast into an ops-usable plan by rebuilding DS output at the client × injection-facility × day level, applying adjustments DS can't see, and publishing a single planning number.
• Layer in client events DS doesn't see by maintaining a live calendar of client sales, promos, launches, and known volume pulls, and working with Client Services and Account Management so events land in the plan before they hit the network.
• Own the daily variance review by reviewing forecast vs. actual at planning grain daily, tagging root cause, and feeding learnings back to DS and into the next plan.
• Be the named owner of the planning number, defending it to Ground Ops, Transpo, and leadership, and adjusting it when new information justifies it.
• Operate inside Volume Radar by building the internal planning dashboard daily, reading forecast-vs.-real-time signals, escalating hot facilities with context, and providing structured feedback to engineering on tool improvements.
