Logistics Analyst
or drop it. Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need headings for sections that have content. The posting includes "About The Role" (which is basically overview). Then "What You'll Do" with subsections: Transportation Network & Routing Optimization, Data & Reporting, Transportation Cost Management & Commercial Support, Carrier Performance & Operational Support. Then "What Success Looks Like" with timeframes. Then "What We're Looking For" (requirements). Then "Role Details" (Reports to, Organization, Location, Travel). We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine: About the role -> overview paragraph. Responsibilities -> the "What You'll Do" sections (maybe combine). Requirements -> "What We're Looking For" (experience, education). Qualifications maybe similar; but we can put qualifications under Requirements or separate. Skills -> maybe list of skills (Excel, BI tools, TMS). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so we should NOT include those sections. Also we should not include empty headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
... overview paragraph(s) ...
Responsibilities
We could break into subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. Could use ? Not allowed. So we can just have a single Responsibilities section with paragraphs and lists. But we need to preserve the subcategories; we can use
headings within? Not allowed to invent headings besides h3. Could use for subheadings inside p. That's okay.
Thus:
Responsibilities
Transportation Network & Routing Optimization
- ... each duty ...
Similarly for other subcategories.
Then Requirements
(or Qualifications?). The posting has "What We're Looking For" which includes experience, education, skills. We'll put that under Requirements. Could also have Skills section separate but we can combine.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to drop metadata like Role Details? That includes Reports to, Organization, Location, Travel. That's substantive; we need to include it. Where to put? Could be under Requirements? Not exactly. Could be a separate section like "Role Details" but not in allowed headings. However we could fold into Requirements or About the role? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use h3 for section headings (e.g. those). It might be okay to use other headings if needed, but better to stick to allowed ones. Could place Reports to, Organization, Location, Travel under About the role as a short paragraph.
Thus About the role paragraph will include: "Reporting to the Logistics Director within the Commercial organization, this role will use data..." plus location remote, travel approx 10%.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title (Logistics Analyst) as heading. Not needed.
Now produce HTML.
Let's extract content.
About the role original: "About The Role We are looking for a Logistics Analyst to support the growth and optimization of Passport's transportation network. Reporting to the Logistics Director within the Commercial organization, this role will use data and transportation expertise to help determine how freight should move across our network—balancing cost, capacity, service, and operational requirements. The Logistics Analyst will play a key role in developing routing recommendations, improving truck and trailer utilization, identifying freight consolidation opportunities, evaluating carrier performance, and finding opportunities to reduce transportation costs. As our network grows, this individual will help analyze how pickup locations, shipment volumes, transportation modes, and carrier capacity can be combined into an increasingly efficient and scalable network. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with 2–4 years of transportation or logistics experience who enjoys solving complex problems with data. The right candidate will combine strong analytical capabilities with practical transportation knowledge and the ability to build strong relationships with cross-functional teams."
We'll put that in
.
Now Responsibilities: we have four big categories.
We'll create
Responsibilities
Then for each category, we can have a Category
then - ... each bullet ...
We need to preserve all bullet points.
Let's list them.
Transportation Network & Routing Optimization:
- Analyze shipment volumes, lanes, pickup locations, weights, pallet counts, capacity, service requirements, and transportation costs to identify network optimization opportunities.
- Develop data-driven routing recommendations that determine the most efficient carrier, transportation mode, consolidation strategy, and pickup structure across the network.
- Identify opportunities to combine nearby pickup locations, optimize pickup frequency, consolidate freight, and improve truck and trailer utilization.
- Analyze opportunities to shift freight between domestic ground parcel, LTL, and FTL based on volume, cost, capacity, and service requirements.
- Evaluate existing and forecasted transportation volumes to identify opportunities for dedicated routes, multi-stop solutions, consolidation, and other network efficiencies.
- Model alternative transportation scenarios and quantify the financial and operational impact of proposed routing or carrier changes.
- Develop and maintain routing analyses and recommendations for review and approval by Logistics leadership.
- Continuously evaluate the network as volumes, pickup locations, customers, and operational requirements change.
- Partner closely with Operations to ensure routing and network recommendations are operationally practical, executable, and aligned with facility requirements.
Data & Reporting:
- Analyze transportation data from our TMS, carrier reporting, shipment history, and internal systems to identify trends, exceptions, and improvement opportunities.
- Combine, clean, validate, and analyze large datasets from multiple sources to create reliable transportation insights.
- Build and maintain reporting for key transportation KPIs, including cost per shipment, cost per pound, capacity utilization, pickup performance, delivery performance, and carrier compliance.
- Perform lane-level, carrier-level, and mode-level cost analysis to support transportation decisions.
- Identify root causes behind transportation cost increases, underutilized capacity, service failures, and routing inefficiencies.
- Translate complex transportation data into clear recommendations and actionable insights for Logistics leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Support continued improvement of transportation data quality, reporting, and TMS utilization.
- Help develop and document scalable transportation processes, routing standards, and analytical methodologies as the network continues to grow.
Transportation Cost Management & Commercial Support:
- Identify, quantify, and track transportation cost-saving opportunities across the domestic network.
- Develop financial analyses and business cases for proposed carrier, routing, mode, or network changes.
- Establish appropriate cost baselines and measure realized savings following implementation.
- Support carrier sourcing, RFPs, and negotiations through lane analysis, cost modeling, benchmarking, and scenario evaluation.
- Assist with validation of carrier rates, accessorial charges, invoices, and transportation cost assumptions as needed.
- Help ensure transportation decisions balance service requirements with Passport's broader cost and margin objectives.
- Collaborate with Commercial and Finance stakeholders to evaluate transportation costs, quantify savings opportunities, and clearly communicate the financial impact of proposed network changes.
Carrier Performance & Operational Support:
- Partner closely with Operations to monitor transportation performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Analyze recurring service failures, capacity constraints, missed pickups, and other transportation exceptions to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
- Monitor carrier performance and routing compliance and recommend when routing or carrier changes should be considered.
- Support the Logistics Director with carrier scorecards, performance analysis, business reviews, and carrier evaluations.
- Participate in carrier meetings and performance discussions as needed, providing supporting analysis and data.
- Support implementation of approved carrier, routing, and network changes while Operations maintains ownership of day-to-day transportation execution.
- Build strong working relationships across Operations, Commercial, Technology, and external transportation partners to ensure transportation changes are understood, coordinated, and successfully implemented.
- Communicate transportation findings, performance issues, and recommended actions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Now What Success Looks Like: we could treat as a separate section maybe "Qualifications"? But it's about performance expectations. Could be under "Responsibilities"? Not exactly. Could be under "Qualifications"? Not exactly. The allowed headings include Qualifications. We could put success expectations under Qualifications? Or maybe we create a section "Qualifications" for what we're looking for, and "Responsibilities" for duties, and "About the role" for overview. The success looks like could be considered part of "Qualifications" or maybe we could add a section "Expectations"? Not allowed. But we could incorporate into Responsibilities as expected outcomes? Might be okay to add a separate section "Qualifications" for the success criteria? However Qualifications usually refers to required qualifications. The success looks like is more about performance milestones. Could be placed under "Responsibilities" as expected outcomes. But we already have responsibilities list; we could add a Success Expectations
with subpoints. That's okay as a inside Responsibilities.
But we need to avoid creating headings not allowed. Using inside a is fine.
Thus after the four responsibility subsections, we can add a
Success Looks Like
then - ... each bullet for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months.
Now What We're Looking For: we will put under Requirements
(or Qualifications). Let's use Requirements for experience, education, skills. Then we could also have a separate Skills
for specific tools. But we can combine.
The posting includes:
- 2–4 years of professional experience in transportation, logistics, supply chain, transportation analytics, freight brokerage, carrier operations, or a related field.
- Working knowledge of parcel, LTL, and FTL transportation; first- and middle-mile experience strongly preferred.
- Strong analytical skills with demonstrated experience using large datasets to identify trends, evaluate alternatives, and develop actionable recommendations.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and/or Google Sheets, including pivot tables, lookups, formulas, data manipulation, and cost modeling.
- Experience combining, cleaning, and analyzing data from multiple sources; familiarity with Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar BI tools is a plus.
- Experience with transportation analysis such as routing, lane analysis, freight consolidation, load utilization, cost modeling, or carrier performance analysis preferred.
- Experience with a Transportation Management System (TMS) or similar logistics technology preferred.
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, Analytics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
- Proactive and highly accountable, with the ability to challenge assumptions constructively and use data to recommend better solutions.
We can split: Requirements (experience, education) and Skills (technical skills). Let's do:
