Job description

You're the person who sees a freight invoice and immediately senses something's off.

You can't help it. While everyone else files the report, you're three tabs deep asking why is this lane costing us double? You find the dollars hiding in plain sight — and then you build the model that makes sure they never hide again.

If that's you, we should talk.

For 90 years, Oregon Fruit Company has turned the Pacific Northwest's finest fruit into products people love. Behind every shipment is a logistics operation that has to keep moving — and we want a sharp, relentlessly curious Transportation Analyst to make it move smarter.

This is your kind of role if you:

• Get a genuine thrill from a messy spend report and an empty spreadsheet
• Treat freight discrepancies like a mystery you have to solve
• Love turning numbers nobody else understands into a story leadership acts on
• Can talk carriers, charm a cross‑functional team, and brief an executive — all before lunch
• Want to build something, not just maintain it

What you'll own:

• Transportation spend across every mode — FTL, LTL, intermodal, and parcel
• The dashboards and KPIs that drive our freight cost‑per‑pound reduction goals
• Carrier negotiations and freight RFPs, backed by real analytical firepower
• Freight bill audits that protect every single dollar of spend
• Findings that go straight to the leadership table

What you bring:

• 3+ years in transportation, logistics, freight analysis, or supply chain
• Advanced Excel skills and a real love of data (Power BI or Tableau? Even better)
• Experience with freight auditing, carrier management, and cost analysis
• A bachelor's in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, Finance, Data Analytics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• ERP/TMS experience — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a big plus
