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.

• Develop and maintain a centralized freight spend database, tracking actuals against budgeted logistics costs by project, vendor, and freight mode.

Freight Spend & Cost Analysis

• 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.

• Assist in evaluating carrier and forwarder quotes; build comparison models to support sourcing and routing decisions.

Carrier & Vendor Performance Tracking

• 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.

Process & Continuous Improvement Support

• 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.

Cross-Functional & Administrative Support

• 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.

• Respond to ad hoc data requests from Project Management, Procurement, and executive leadership.
