• Capture the voice of the customer, prioritize enhancements, and contribute to product strategy that reflects market needs and emerging best practices.
• Deliver workshops, demos, and training, and curate “what to use when” libraries, case studies, and best practices.
• Combine internal ops data with industry signals (e.g., DAT, FTR, ACT, Statista) to craft market perspectives and thematic narratives customers can act on.
• Engage with strategic and high-potential customers and participate in industry forums as a C.H. Robinson analytics voice.

Required Qualifications:

• 6+ years in analytics, decision science, consulting, or insights roles.
• 2+ years’ experience delivering insights that influence deals, renewals, or account growth.
• 4+ years’ experience with data modeling concepts, BI practices, and scalability (tools-agnostic; e.g., SQL/PowerBI/Python/modern BI a plus).
• Familiarity with supply chain or transportation data.
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exceptional communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
