As a Supply Chain Analyst – Logistics and Transportation (1 Year Contract), you will play a pivotal role in ensuring seamless end‑to‑end supply chain operations. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will involve close collaboration with planning teams to optimise container usage, reduce waiting times at factories, and coordinate timely product movements. You will leverage your analytical abilities to identify cost drivers within logistics operations, maintain transparent cost dashboards for management review, and become proficient in using advanced control tower systems. By consolidating key performance indicators from multiple clusters into insightful reports, you will help drive informed decision‑making while proactively monitoring trends for potential issues. Your involvement in project management will see you supporting strategic initiatives aimed at digitalising processes or improving operational efficiency. Additionally, you will champion continuous improvement by reviewing existing workflows, updating documentation libraries, conducting root cause analyses for recurring challenges, and recommending actionable solutions that foster compliance and smooth onboarding experiences.

• Monitor transportation planning by flagging and escalating deviations from contracted carrier shares or rates while assisting in reviewing carrier and shipping line performance to prepare comprehensive reports.
• Support planning teams by aligning production requests with loading schedules to maximise container utilisation and minimise waiting times, ensuring efficient deployment of products.
• Coordinate closely with factory transport teams to guarantee timely movement of goods and optimal use of transport capacity across all clusters.

• Maintain up‑to‑date dashboards that clearly display transportation spend and cost KPIs, becoming the subject matter expert for control tower systems including TMS and visibility dashboards.
• Collect, consolidate, and analyse supply chain KPIs from various clusters to prepare detailed monthly dashboards that monitor trends and highlight anomalies for escalation.
• Continuously improve reporting templates using automation tools like Power BI or Excel macros to streamline processes and enhance data accuracy.
• Support project management activities by documenting progress according to standardised tools, following up on deadlines, risks, and contributing to problem‑solving efforts.
• Assist in strategic initiatives such as IT transformation projects or process digitalisation by providing dedicated support for regional development managers.
• Review assigned processes regularly to recommend improvements, maintain the process library, conduct root cause analyses for recurring issues, and contribute actively to continuous improvement actions.

Your ability to juggle multiple priorities without compromising accuracy demonstrates your organisational strengths while your commitment to continuous improvement ensures that you are always seeking ways to enhance efficiency.
