Junior Data Analyst

The Junior Data Analyst supports the Finance department's data-driven operations within a 3PL business environment. This role is responsible for verifying logistics carrier invoices, processing and comparing carrier quotation data, and conducting gross margin analysis to support business decision-making and cost optimization initiatives. The role is expected to work AI-first, applying AI and LLM-based tools as the default approach to daily analysis, reconciliation and reporting work.

• Billing Verification & Reconciliation: Review logistics carrier invoices for data accuracy and reasonableness; identify discrepancies and follow up with carriers and internal teams for timely resolution. Maintain records to support audit trails.
• Carrier Rate Data Processing: Collect, organize, clean, and structure carrier rate quotes to enable systematic rate comparison; provide data-backed insights to support pricing negotiations and carrier selection.
• Gross Margin Analysis: Assist in preparing periodic gross margin reports; identify low-margin accounts or shipments, analyze root causes, and collaborate with business teams to surface cost reduction and efficiency improvement opportunities.
• Ad-hoc Data Support: Respond to data requests from internal business units as assigned, including supporting customer pricing tables and fulfilling cross-departmental analytical needs.
• AI-First Ways of Working: Use AI and LLM-based tools as the default approach to daily work — accelerating invoice review, rate data cleaning, gross margin analysis and report drafting. Write and refine prompts, build reusable prompt templates and lightweight AI-assisted workflows for recurring finance tasks, and always validate AI output against source data before it is used in any deliverable. Share effective methods with the wider Finance team.
