Job summary

Bison Transport Inc. is seeking a Data Analyst to translate ambiguous business questions into scoped analyses and data-backed answers across Asset, Logistics, Intermodal, and LTL.

You will pull and join data with SQL, analyze with Python, and present findings using Power BI to non-technical leaders. You will need 2-5 years in analytics, strong SQL, Python, and Power BI skills, plus clear written communication.

Qualifications

• 2-5 years in an analytics or data role producing decision-grade work.
• Strong SQL, including multi-table joins and validating data of uncertain quality.
• Working Python for data analysis (pandas or equivalent).
• Sufficient Power BI to build and maintain a clean, accurate view.
• Analytical judgment: distinguishing rate/mix/data artifacts, state uncertainty clearly.
• Willingness to learn distinct economics of Asset, Logistics, Intermodal, and LTL.
• Clear written communication for a commercial and operational audience.
• Proficiency scripting in Python or R for analysis—clean, correct code.
• Fluency with data manipulation (SQL, pandas/dplyr).
• Ability to reason about uncertainty and state assumptions clearly.
• Demonstrated ability to explain technical work to non-technical audiences.
• Freight, logistics, or transportation domain experience is an asset.
• Exposure to network, profitability, or margin analysis is an asset.

Responsibilities

• Translate open-ended questions from operations, commercial, and leadership into scoped, answerable analyses without requiring the question to be fully formed.
• Write and validate SQL against a governed data warehouse to pull and join the data an analysis requires.
• Use Python for analysis, transformation, and investigations beyond what SQL supports.
• Build focused Power BI views where a visual answer serves the audience better than a written one.
• Support any of Bison’s lines of business as priorities dictate, ramping quickly on unfamiliar economics and operational context.
• Surface data-quality issues explicitly rather than analyzing around them.
• Scope claims to what the data supports, using ranges and caveats where warranted.
• Communicate findings clearly to non-technical commercial and operational audiences.
