• Build and improve reports, dashboards, and analytical tools that clarify performance, emerging risks, recurring issues, and improvement opportunities.
• Reconcile ERP, warehouse, transportation, inventory, and reporting data to identify missing inventory, incorrect statuses, stuck transactions, duplicate records, shipment delays, and other disruptions.
• Investigate exceptions using structured problem solving and root-cause analysis; develop recommendations and coordinate corrective action with the appropriate teams.
• Own assigned issues through resolution by validating data, coordinating actions, tracking progress, and confirming the underlying issue is resolved.
• Identify recurring trends and process gaps; recommend changes that reduce manual work, eliminate errors, and improve reliability and efficiency.
• Develop repeatable exception-management routines, standard work, reporting processes, and controls.
• Partner with Customer Service, Distribution, Warehouse Operations, Transportation, Inventory, Planning, Finance, IT, and other teams to improve execution and service.
• Escalate appropriately after reasonable troubleshooting, with clear findings, likely root causes, business impact, and recommended actions.
• Support continuous improvement, automation, documentation, compliance, safety, quality, and internal-control requirements.

• Experience using Power BI or a comparable business-intelligence platform to analyze performance, investigate issues, identify trends, and communicate actionable insights.
• Hands-on experience within an ERP environment such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, or a comparable platform, with understanding of order, inventory, shipment, and status flows.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to recognize anomalies and distinguish isolated errors from recurring or systemic issues.
• Working knowledge of order management, inventory, warehousing, transportation, distribution, and shipment execution.
• Clear written and verbal communication, strong cross-functional collaboration, attention to detail, prioritization, ownership, and follow-through in a fast-paced environment.

Required Education and Experience

• Minimum of two years of relevant logistics, distribution, order management, transportation, inventory, business-analysis, or related operational experience required.
