About the Role

This is a high-visibility individual contributor role focused on transportation economics, supply chain strategy, and quantitative modeling. The Analyst will identify cost-saving and optimization opportunities, transforming analysis into business-critical strategy to inform senior leadership decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own lane analysis and zone skip strategy, including lane-level margin modeling, utilization thresholds, go/no-go decision frameworks for trailer dispatch, and identification of new lane opportunities.
• Translate complex operational and network simulations into structured project plans; partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to scale analytical tools into platform-native features.
• Build cost models and simulations to forecast the financial and service impact of network changes before they go live.
• Conduct shipment and transportation cost analysis, identifying cost leakage and quantifying opportunities for recovery.
• Support carrier RFP and network strategy by modeling rate card scenarios and benchmarking carrier economics.
• Conduct supply chain analysis, including inbound flow modeling, FC throughput and capacity analysis, and demand-driven network planning inputs.
• Support network and location analysis to evaluate fulfillment center and sort center placement and cost impact of serving different geographies.
• Build reporting and business intelligence for carrier ops managers and transportation leadership, covering key performance indicators.
• Drive cross-functional transportation initiatives as a project lead, managing workstreams from analysis through implementation.
• Produce competitive and strategic analysis on Flexport's transportation network and product compared to the market.
• Act as a technical and domain mentor, helping scale team capabilities in SQL best practices, data modeling frameworks, AI usage, and stakeholder communication.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in supply chain analytics, transportation strategy, network design, or a closely related analytical role.
• Strong quantitative skills, including building financial models, running scenario analysis, and designing simulations.
• Proficiency in SQL; experience querying large operational datasets in tools like Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery.
• Strong proficiency with BI and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, PowerBI) to build automated, executive-ready dashboards.
• Experience with transportation or supply chain economics, such as shipping cost structures, carrier rate cards, network cost modeling, or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of freight procurement frameworks, carrier bid structures, or data-driven RFP evaluation models.
• Proven ability to translate complex, multi-source data into clear recommendations that leadership acts on.
• Strong project management instincts; ability to own an analytical initiative end-to-end and drive cross-functional alignment.
• Excellent communication skills; ability to present nuanced quantitative analysis simply and confidently to senior audiences.
• Experience working in highly ambiguous operational environments, navigating fragmented or incomplete datasets and making data-driven recommendations.
