• Lead the creation of “what‑if” scenarios that enable rapid response to market volatility, ensuring carrier resources are allocated efficiently.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives by measuring key performance indicators (KPIs), presenting insights to senior leadership, and recommending data‑backed strategies.
• Own end‑to‑end project delivery, from data ingestion and cleansing to model deployment and post‑implementation monitoring.
• Mentor junior analysts, fostering a culture of curiosity, analytical rigor, and collaborative problem‑solving.
• Maintain strong relationships with external carrier partners, negotiating capacity contracts and ensuring alignment with arenaflex’s service standards.
• Adapt quickly to evolving business priorities, delivering innovative solutions with minimal supervision.

• Demonstrated ability to translate large, ambiguous data sets into clear, actionable business recommendations.
• Strong critical‑thinking and problem‑solving skills, with a track record of delivering innovative solutions under tight deadlines.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities, capable of influencing cross‑functional stakeholders and external partners.
• Self‑starter mindset: comfortable making decisions with limited guidance and taking ownership of outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in carrier procurement, transportation planning, or last‑mile logistics strategy.
• Familiarity with cloud‑based data platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and modern data‑engineering pipelines.
