Full Job Description
What you'll do

You'll join a highly visible team embedded within Transportation operations, working shoulder to shoulder with Operations and Technology leaders to:

-Partner with business leaders to build the business cases behind network investments and cost initiatives

What makes this role different

The problems are complex, the data is massive, and the results of your work are visible in how we serve customers every day.

-Are genuinely curious about how things work - you'd rather tour a fulfillment center than read a slide deck about one

-Take pride in getting the details right and producing work you'd put your name on

-See your role as a thought partner to the business, not a reporting function that operates at arm's length

-Want your analysis to drive real action - programs launched, costs reduced, customer experience improved

-View AI and automation as tools to ask better questions, not just get faster answers

-Are energized by seeing your work show up in the metrics, because you helped drive the program that moved them

- MBA, or CPA

- Knowledge of SQL/ETL
