Your role in the team
- In the Trade Management team, you will join an international and diverse group of passionate experts.
- We are transforming the way we approach global logistics by moving from intuition-based decisions to a precision-engineered, data-driven strategy.
- If you are a technical heavyweight who loves to code and model, but also a leader ready to mentor a high-performing team, this is the role for you.
- We are seeking a Team Lead for Trade Analytics & Market Intelligence to act as the Ted Lasso of our data analytics team.
- Reporting directly to the Director of Trade Management, you will own the architectural backbone of our trade management decision-making.
- This is a hybrid role.
- You will spend a significant portion of your time hands-on in the code-building complex data models, writing high-performance queries, and designing algorithms.
- Simultaneously, you will lead and develop a small, agile team consisting of a seasoned Analyst and a Market Intelligence Specialist.
- You will be the bridge between raw data and high-level strategy, directly influencing how we handle Procurement, Pricing, and Forecasting.
- Lead Technical Strategy & Analytics:
- Own the Data Architecture: Architect and maintain the data pipelines and models that drive our GP reporting, demand forecasting, and yield management engines.
- Hands-On Development: personally write and optimize complex code (SQL, Python/R) to solve our hardest analytical problems.
- You are the technical escalation point for the team.
- Forecasting & Modeling: Build robust predictive models to anticipate market demand and capacity constraints, allowing the Procurement team to buy smarter and the Pricing team to sell more effectively.
- Visualization: Design comprehensive dashboards (Looker/Tableau/PowerBI) that translate complex data sets into clear, actionable insights for senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
- Market Intelligence & Insight Generation:
- Synthesize Data: Oversee the gathering of external market data (indices, competitor behavior, macro-trends) and merge it with our internal performance data.
- Strategic Guidance: Provide specific, data-backed recommendations to Trade Managers regarding trade lane strategy, carrier negotiations, and risk management.
- People Management & Development:
- Build the Team: Manage, mentor, and develop two direct reports (a Market Intelligence Specialist and an Analyst).
- Set the Standard: Establish best practices for coding, data hygiene, and reporting standards within the Trade team.
- Resource Management: Prioritize the team's backlog to ensure we are solving the most critical business problems first.
