Position Summary/Objective:

• Support the design, rapid prototyping, delivery and adoption of analytics, GenAI, AI-agent and decision intelligence products across Distribution & Logistics. Work closely with the Director and regional business partners across inbound logistics and imports, 3PL and carrier performance, distribution center operations, and outbound transportation for e-commerce, retail and wholesale. The role combines D&L business analysis with hands-on capability across data, semantic modeling, dashboards and AI-agent creation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with D&L stakeholders to understand operational decisions, pain points, workflows and opportunities, converting them into analytical requirements and actionable products.
• Support inbound and import analytics covering PO and shipment milestones, forwarders, customs and border performance, ports, demurrage, container utilization, lead-time variability and inbound freight cost.

• Support 3PL and carrier performance analytics covering service, tender acceptance, transit time, claims, capacity, contractual performance, root causes and corrective actions.

• Support DC operations analytics across receiving, dock-to-stock, inventory accuracy, backlog, order cycle time, throughput, labor productivity, capacity, order accuracy, automation and cost per unit.

• Support outbound transportation analytics for e-commerce, retail and wholesale, including OTD, final-mile lead time, fill rate, perfect order, parcel and non-parcel performance, lanes, modes, claims and cost-to-serve.

• Define and document KPIs, business rules, dimensions, grains, hierarchies, exclusions, targets and drill paths, and validate data quality and reconciliations with regional source systems.

• Work with IT Data & Analytics and Engineering to translate D&L requirements into GCP and ARC data products and LookML semantic models and to test joins, measures, dimensions, lineage and controls.

• Design, develop and iterate executive, tactical and operational dashboards in Google Looker, applying strong visualization, usability, exception-led and action-oriented design principles.

• Create and refine GenAI and AI-agent pilots for use cases such as shipment-risk monitoring, carrier and lane analysis, DC exception management, root-cause explanation and recommended actions.

• Configure agent prompts, business instructions, grounding context, tools or workflows, evaluations, guardrails and human-review steps; test output quality, reliability and user value before scaling.

• Conduct exploratory, diagnostic and scenario analysis and support predictive or prescriptive models with clearly documented assumptions and business interpretation.

• Write user stories and acceptance criteria, support UAT, document solutions, train users and monitor adoption, usage and business impact.

• Contribute to cross-functional squads and actively share reusable methods, semantic patterns, dashboard components and agent designs across the Planning & Analytics team.

Performance Expectations:

• Business partnership and insight:
  • Deliver timely analyses and product requirements grounded in D&L decisions and operational workflows.
• Technical and product quality:
  • Produce reliable semantic definitions, intuitive dashboards and well-tested AI agents with clear documentation and controls.

• Adoption and impact:
  • Support successful pilots and scaled products that improve visibility, action, service, cost, capacity or productivity.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Education:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business or a related field.
• Experience:
  • 3+ years of experience in distribution, logistics, transportation, warehousing, supply chain analytics, data products, BI or AI-enabled solution delivery.
• D&L Domain Knowledge:
  • Knowledge of one or more D&L areas and willingness to build end-to-end expertise across inbound, imports, 3PLs, carriers, DC operations and outbound channels.
• Data, Visualization and AI Skills:
  • Strong practical capability in SQL and data analysis, data profiling and validation, KPI logic, dimensional and semantic modeling, dashboard visualization and user-experience design. Working familiarity with GCP, ARC and Google Looker / LookML is strongly preferred. This is not a reporting-only role: candidates must also demonstrate hands-on fluency in GenAI and AI-agent creation, including prompt and instruction design, grounding, context configuration, workflow or tool integration, testing, evaluation, human-in-the-loop controls, monitoring and responsible-AI practices.
• Analytical Skills:
  • Able to structure ambiguous questions, analyze large datasets, identify drivers and exceptions, communicate findings and translate them into decisions or product features.
• Product Delivery:
  • Experience or strong aptitude in discovery, requirements, prototyping, agile collaboration, UAT, documentation, training and iterative improvement.
• Communication and Collaboration:
  • Fluent English communication required. Able to work effectively with operators, analysts, engineers, product teams and leaders across regions.
• Leadership Abilities:
  • Proactive, self-directed and accountable. Influences through expertise, curiosity and responsiveness rather than authority.
• Strategic Thinking:
  • Connects individual metrics and analyses to end-to-end service, cost, capacity, inventory-flow and customer outcomes.

Reporting Structure:

• Reports to the Director, Distribution & Logistics Decision Intelligence. No direct reports.
• Location and Travel Requirements
  • Mexico. Periodic travel to DCs, logistics operations, regional offices and team locations may be required.
• Additional Information:
  • Hands-on builder who is equally comfortable analyzing data, defining a semantic model, designing a dashboard, prototyping an AI agent and engaging directly with D&L users.
