Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust ETL pipelines that extract data from multiple source systems, cleanse it, and load it into consolidated data warehouses for downstream analysis.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including Operations, Finance, and Product—to understand business requirements, translate them into technical specifications, and deliver high‑quality data solutions.
• Build and iterate on interactive dashboards and visualizations that surface critical transportation metrics such as delivery timelines, carrier performance, and cost efficiency.
• Perform ad‑hoc data investigations, root‑cause analyses, and statistical testing to answer urgent business questions and support strategic initiatives.
• Implement data quality frameworks, monitor data integrity, and proactively resolve anomalies to ensure trustworthy reporting.
• Leverage programming languages (primarily Python) to automate repetitive analytical tasks, including data profiling, anomaly detection, and metric calculation.
• Document data models, ETL processes, and analytical methodologies to create a knowledge base that can be shared across the organization.
• Mentor junior analysts and act as a subject‑matter expert, fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related quantitative field.
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience working with relational databases and writing complex SQL queries.
• Demonstrated ability to manipulate and join data from multiple tables while preserving data integrity.
• Strong analytical mindset with the capacity to interpret business problems and translate them into data‑centric solutions.
• Experience with transportation, logistics, or supply‑chain domains is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language—preferably Python—for data automation and analysis.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, enabling you to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills & Competencies

• Hands‑on experience with data preparation platforms like Alteryx, KNIME, or Dataiku.
• Knowledge of statistical analysis and machine‑learning techniques for predictive modeling.
• Understanding of cloud data services (e.g., AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, Azure Synapse).
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting while maintaining strong collaboration with distributed teams.
• Project management experience, including the use of agile methodologies and ticketing systems (Jira, Azure DevOps).
• Curiosity and a growth mindset—eagerness to stay current with emerging data‑engineering tools and industry best practices.

• Regular internal tech talks, hackathons, and knowledge‑sharing sessions that keep you at the cutting edge of data technology.
• Clear promotion pathways—from Analyst to Senior Analyst, then to Data Engineer or Business Intelligence Lead—based on performance and impact.
• Opportunities to rotate across different business units (e.g., e‑commerce, fulfillment, merchandising) to broaden your domain expertise.
