Senior Global Logistics Analyst

Most weeks tend to involve complex data analysis, optimization modeling, vendor and carrier engagement, and the steady cadence of cross-functional advisory — pulling and analyzing data across origins, modes, and lanes, building optimization scenarios for sourcing or routing changes, sitting with trade-compliance and transportation teams, prepping executive briefings. You're often the senior analytical voice on consequential global supply-chain decisions. Cost per unit and lane reliability are the operating measures.

The friction surfaces in the data fragmentation across global carriers and brokers — international logistics generates inconsistent data in many systems, and clean senior analysis takes patient cleanup work. Variance across employers is sharp: at major multinationals the analytical infrastructure is mature; at growing or mid-market shippers you're building the analytical foundation as you operate.

Folks who do well here often bring deep supply-chain fluency, comfort with multi-country data, and patient cross-functional diplomacy. APICS CSCP and global-trade credentials anchor advancement. The trade-off is the time-zone overhead of global work and the meetings that run early or late to accommodate origin offices.
