Your Job

The Logistics Analyst supports INVISTA's Supply Chain and Logistics organization by advancing logistics strategies across multiple transportation modes.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau, or similar)
• Experience translating data into actionable recommendations

• Prior experience in transportation/logistics procurement, rate negotiation, or contract strategy
• Familiarity with various modes of transportation- such as barge, vessel, ISO, and marine movements
