About the Role

We are looking for a highly analytical and experienced Forecasting Analyst to join our Logistics Planning team.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Operations, Product, and Analytics, translating complex data into actionable insights and driving improvements across our delivery network.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain advanced statistical and forecasting models (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet, Gradient Boosting) to predict delivery volumes, resource demand, and capacity needs.
• Propose and implement innovative methodologies such as hierarchical forecasting and causal inference to solve complex business challenges.
• Build experimentation frameworks and apply statistical methods to measure the impact of model changes and business interventions.
• Ensure data quality, integrity, and accessibility across all relevant datasets, building standardized datamarts as needed.
• Perform root-cause analysis and collaborate with operations teams to identify drivers behind performance trends.
• Develop and automate interactive dashboards and reports to track key metrics and communicate insights to leadership and stakeholders.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align forecasting insights with business strategy and operational planning.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, or Computer Science.
• Relevant experience in forecasting, data science, or business analytics, ideally within logistics, supply chain or e‑commerce.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker).
• Strong understanding of forecasting methodologies, including classical time‑series models and exogenous variable inclusion.
• Solid foundation in statistical analysis, experimentation design and hypothesis testing (A / B testing, confidence intervals).
• Ability to translate complex data findings into clear, actionable recommendations for business stakeholders.

Why Join Us?

• Work at the forefront of optimizing a critical part of our logistics operations with tangible impact on costs and customer satisfaction.
• Apply cutting‑edge data science techniques in a high‑volume, fast‑paced environment.
• Join a collaborative team where innovation, continuous learning and professional growth are encouraged.
