DAT Freight & Analytics · Seattle, WA · 1 mo ago
$141k–$190k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About DAT" then "The Opportunity", "What You’ll Do", "The Skills And Experience You’ll Bring", "Why DAT?" plus salary info. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO paragraphs, the legal text about pay disclosure, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline: 10/1/2026"? That's metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep About DAT description, The Opportunity description, What You’ll Do bullet list, Skills and Experience, Nice to Haves, Why DAT? benefits list, salary range for Washington-based candidates. We need to decide sections: About DAT could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About DAT" describing company. Could use

About DAT

. That's okay as a heading. Then "The Opportunity" could be

About the role

or maybe

The Opportunity

. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we can use those headings if appropriate. We should map content to those headings where possible. We have: - About DAT (company overview) -> could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can use "About the role" to describe the role overview (The Opportunity). But we also have company description. Could combine? Better to have "About DAT" as a heading? The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we should stick to those examples. However we need to convey company info; maybe we can put it under "About the role" as a brief intro. But we also need to preserve all substantive information; we can include company description inside that section. Alternatively we could have a section "About DAT" as

About DAT

which is not in the examples but still a heading. The instruction didn't explicitly forbid other headings; it just gave examples. I'd lean to keep it as a heading for clarity. But we also need sections for Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Requirements (Skills And Experience You’ll Bring), Qualifications (maybe Nice to Haves?), Benefits (Why DAT? benefits), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe hybrid work environment). The posting mentions hybrid work environment, but not explicit schedule. Could include schedule under Benefits? Or we could create a Schedule section with hybrid work info. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Let's extract content: About DAT: "DAT Freight & Analytics is an award-winning employer of choice and a next-generation SaaS technology company that has been at the leading edge of freight and logistics innovation for nearly five decades.

This hybrid role sits at the intersection of strategy, business intelligence, and applied AI: you'll deliver the insights leaders rely on for strategic decisions, while designing and deploying AI agents that scale and extend our analytics capabilities. You'll partner with stakeholders across the business to surface high-value problems, develop and report on KPIs that inform target priorities and team performance, and build agentic workflows that turn recurring tasks into self-service tools. With each analysis, you'll ask the natural follow-up: what can an agent do to complement this next time? This is a high-impact IC role with meaningful visibility at the leadership level. Agents are rapidly transforming internal BizOps functions, and you'll shape how we incorporate them into ours." What You’ll Do (list): - Develop and operate agentic solutions to traditional business intelligence responsibilities: - Strategic Oversight: Support leadership in developing and executing business strategies. Assist with setting organizational goals, tracking progress, and ensuring alignment across departments. - KPI development & ownership: Develop and own the key performance indicators that leadership uses to measure business health, ensuring metrics stay aligned with evolving strategic priorities. - Strategic & ad-hoc analysis: Partner with stakeholders across Operations, Finance, Product, and Marketing to scope analytical questions, deliver deep-dive insights, and translate findings into clear recommendations that drive business decisions. - BI development & reporting: Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and data models that make key business metrics accessible, accurate, and trustworthy across the organization. - Agent design & deployment: Design, prototype, and deploy AI agents that augment workflows, including agents that monitor metrics for anomalies, generate narrative summaries, answer ad-hoc data questions, and automate routine reporting cycles. - Performance monitoring & iteration: Track how deployed agents and dashboards perform in the wild, gather feedback from end users, and continuously refine outputs to improve accuracy, usefulness, and adoption over time. - Automation opportunity identification: Spot repetitive analytical tasks across the organization and evaluate which are best suited for agentic automation versus traditional BI tooling, balancing impact, complexity, and risk. - Data quality & integrity: Partner with Data Engineering to validate source data, surface inconsistencies, and ensure that both human-facing analyses and agent outputs are built on a trustworthy foundation. - Documentation & enablement: Document agent capabilities, limitations, and intended use cases so stakeholders know when to trust outputs and when to escalate or verify. The Skills And Experience You’ll Bring: - 3-5 years in high-growth startups, strategy consulting, business intelligence, data analytics or specialized BizOps roles. Series A–C experience is a significant plus. - Strong SQL and Excel skills. You can independently get to the data you need and build the models behind your own reporting. - Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business questions into structured analyses and clear recommendations. - Daily working fluency with AI tools in your day-to-day work; comfortable writing clear prompts, evaluating outputs, debugging agent behavior, and knowing when human judgment must override automation. - Growth mindset and a willingness to work hard; this will be a high-effort, high-reward type role for those excited about building business leverage with AI. Nice to Haves: - Experience deploying AI agents or LLM-powered tools, including thinking through evaluation, monitoring, and failure modes. - Experience in logistics, fintech, marketplaces, or B2B SaaS businesses. Why DAT? (benefits and culture): - DAT is an award winning employer of choice. - Hybrid work environment. - Time-tested and resolute set of operating values predicated on integrity, mutual respect, open communication, and executing with excellence. - These values inform our strategic vision as much as any one of our products does. - Been an employer of choice in the Portland metropolitan area for four decades, and within one year of opening our Denver office, DAT was #26 on Built In Colorado’s 100 Best Places to Work In Colorado. - Benefits list: - Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and AD&D insurance - Parental Leave - Flexible Time Off - Additional 10 holidays of paid time off per calendar year - 401k matching (immediately vested) - Employee Stock Purchase Plan - Short- and Long-term disability sick leave - Flexible Spending Accounts - Health Savings Accounts - Employee Assistance Program - Additional programs - Employee Referral, Internal Recognition, and Wellness - Free TriMet transit pass (Beaverton Office) - Competitive salary and benefits package - Work on impactful projects in a cutting-edge environment - Collaborative and supportive team culture - Opportunity to make a real difference in the trucking industry - Employee Resource Groups Pay: For Washington-based candidates, salary range $141,000 - $190,000. Also note DAT considers factors etc. We can keep that as Pay section. Schedule: Hybrid work environment (mentioned). Could be Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Remove the paragraphs about EEO, legal disclosure, etc. Now produce HTML fragment with

headings and appropriate
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: - About DAT (maybe

    About DAT

    ) - The Opportunity (maybe

    About the role

    or

    The Opportunity

    ) - Responsibilities (

    Responsibilities

    ) containing the What You’ll Do list. - Requirements (

    Requirements

    ) containing Skills And Experience You’ll Bring. - Qualifications (

    Qualifications

    ) containing Nice to Haves? Or we could put Nice to Haves under Requirements as a sublist? But we have separate headings for Qualifications; we can put Nice to Haves there. - Benefits (

    Benefits

    ) containing Why DAT? benefits list. - Pay (

    Pay

    ) containing salary range. - Schedule (

    Schedule

    ) containing hybrid work environment. We must ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now produce HTML. We need to avoid markdown code fences. Just output raw HTML. Let's craft. Start with

    About DAT

    then

    ...

    . Then

    The Opportunity

    ...

    . Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each bullet as
    • containing subpoints maybe as
        inside? The instruction says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have nested lists if needed. We'll keep top-level
            with each responsibility as
          • . Inside each
          • we can have

            or just text. Probably fine to have plain text. Similarly for Requirements:

            • ... each bullet. Qualifications: Nice to Haves list. Benefits: list of benefits. Pay:

              with salary range. Schedule:

              hybrid work environment. Let's extract exact text. About DAT paragraph: We'll copy as is. The Opportunity paragraph: copy. Now responsibilities list: We need to capture each bullet exactly as in posting. From posting: "Develop and operate agentic solutions to traditional business intelligence responsibilities: Strategic Oversight: Support leadership in developing and executing business strategies.
