• Create and maintain advanced dashboards, reports, and control panels using Power BI, providing dynamic insights into logistics KPIs such as OTIF, transit time, route performance, inventory turnover, and exception management.
• Actively collaborate with cross-functional logistics teams (transport, warehousing, planning, customer service) to understand operational challenges, perform root cause analysis, and co-create analytical solutions tailored to business needs.
• Promote a data-driven culture by translating complex data into intuitive visual narratives and actionable recommendations.
• Ensure data integrity, security, and documentation, maintain alignment with internal governance and compliance frameworks.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives by leveraging advanced analytics, predictive models, or machine learning where appropriate, to anticipate disruptions and optimize processes.
• Support integration of analytics into broader S&OE and S&OP routines, enabling proactive supply chain orchestration and scenario-based planning. 

Qualifications:

• Advanced proficiency in Python (pandas, NumPy, PySpark, etc.), SQL, and Power BI.
• Experience with API integrations, cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), and data warehousing tools.
• Strong knowledge of logistics KPIs, supply chain processes, and control tower concepts.
• Ability to manage backend (data modeling, integration) and frontend (UI/UX dashboards) development lifecycle.
• Fluent in English; additional languages (e.g., Portuguese, Spanish) are a plus.

Additional / Preferred Qualifications: - 

• Solid understanding of logistics operations (transportation, warehousing, distribution planning) and end-to-end supply chain processes, including inventory management, order fulfillment, and customer service.
• Strong knowledge of supply chain systems architecture, including integration across TMS, WMS, ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle), and external data sources (APIs, EDI).
• Familiarity with cloud-based platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and experience in managing data lake, data warehouse, or big data environments.
• Exposure to machine learning or predictive analytics techniques, particularly for use cases such as demand forecasting, exception detection, or transportation optimization.
• Capability to design and maintain dashboard performance, front-end logic, and user experience in BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.) with a focus on usability for operational teams.
• Strong analytical mindset with a problem-solving orientation, capable of transforming operational needs into structured analytical use cases.
• Ability to collaborate across functions, engaging logistics, IT, planning, and customer service teams to co-develop effective data-driven solutions.
