What You'll Do This role centers on your professional skills within the Supply Chain Analytics And Network Strategy space in Evanston.

• This Evanston-based role is an excellent opportunity for professionals skilled in relevant skills.
• Our UPS team in Evanston, IL is growing.
• Benefit from working in Evanston, a key hub for the Supply Chain Analytics And Network Strategy industry.
• About UPS & Our Culture The UPS network processes over 25 million packages per day across 220 countries — generating one of the richest operational data sets in global commerce. Our Supply Chain Analysts are the professionals who extract business intelligence from that data, transforming raw shipment records, route performance metrics, network capacity utilization rates, and customer shipping profiles into actionable recommendations that save millions of dollars per year in transportation cost and improve service quality across the network. If you are searching for supply chain analyst jobs near me in an environment where your analysis directly influences network design decisions affecting billions of dollars in annual revenue, where your SQL queries run against real shipment data at enormous scale, and where your career advancement track moves from analyst into senior network strategy roles faster than at any smaller logistics employer, the UPS Supply Chain Analyst position is the most data-rich and professionally accelerating analytics role in the transportation industry.
• Client Review: "The data environment at UPS is unlike anything I experienced at previous analytics employers. I run queries against the UPS Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse — the largest transportation data warehouse in the world — pulling shipment records, route performance data, and customer shipping history at a scale that genuinely requires enterprise-grade analytical tools. The business impact of a well-executed analysis here is not a deck that sits in a manager's inbox — it is a network change that affects 5,000 routes. If you want a supply chain analyst job where your work actually moves the needle at scale, UPS is the only answer." - Current Supply Chain Analyst, Wichita, KS.
• Role Overview & Responsibilities: As a UPS Supply Chain Analyst, you develop data-driven analyses of network performance, customer shipping behavior, and transportation cost drivers — using SQL, Python, and UPS's enterprise BI platform to generate insights that inform route engineering, network capacity planning, and customer pricing strategy decisions across the UPS ground and air network.
• Network Performance Analysis: Query the UPS Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse using SQL to extract route-level performance data — on-time delivery percentage, stops-per-car-hour, cost-per-package, misload rate, and driver overallowed time — aggregating results at the center, district, and region level and identifying performance outliers that warrant targeted operational investigation by the industrial engineering or dispatch management teams.
• Customer Shipping Profile Analytics: Analyze individual customer shipping profiles using the UPS Business Intelligence CIE (Customer Information Exchange) data set — building commodity mix, weight distribution, zone penetration, and transit time requirement profiles for top revenue accounts and identifying growth opportunities where the customer's current UPS product utilization under-indexes against their total shipping spend potential based on their industry vertical benchmark.
• Capacity Planning Modeling: Build discrete-event simulation models of hub and center capacity utilization using Simio or Arena simulation software — modeling projected package volume growth against current sort capacity, conveyor throughput limits, and dock door availability — generating capacity gap analyses that quantify the timing and capital investment required to maintain service quality as the network's daily volume grows toward the next capacity constraint threshold.
• Benefits & Perks: UPS Supply Chain Analysts receive a competitive salary reflecting the quantitative degree requirement (BS/MS in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, or Data Science), full medical, dental, and vision benefits, a 401(k) with company match, paid vacation, and UPS's support for APICS CSCP, CSCMP CLTD, and data science certification development. The scale of data and operational impact at UPS creates advancement pathways into senior network strategy, pricing analytics, and supply chain research leadership positions that smaller logistics employers cannot offer at any seniority level.
