Job Purpose

The Operations Analyst is responsible for improving terminal‑level profitability, asset utilization, and service performance by converting transportation and financial data into actionable operational insights.

• This role exists to ensure that terminals are using trucks, trailers, containers, labor, and routes efficiently—and that leadership decisions are grounded in measurable performance data rather than anecdotal reporting.
• The Operations Analyst does not manage day‑to‑day dispatch, but instead provides performance transparency, variance analysis, and decision support to executive leadership and terminal management.

Duties and Responsibilities

1. Transportation & Financial Data Analysis

• Analyze terminal‑level P&L performance, including revenue per truck, cost per mile, margin by lane, and fixed vs variable cost absorption
• Identify performance variances across terminals and isolate root causes (routing, asset mix, pricing, utilization, downtime)
• Build and maintain standardized performance reports for weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews

2. Asset Utilization & Routing Optimization

• Monitor utilization of trucks, trailers, and containers by terminal
• Identify under‑utilized or misallocated assets and quantify financial impact
• Analyze empty miles, deadhead percentages, and dwell time to highlight routing inefficiencies
• Work closely with Fleet Services to support recommendations for asset redeployment, capacity reduction, or targeted growth

3. Decision Support & Accountability

• Prepare executive level summaries highlighting risks, opportunities, and recommended actions
• Support VP of Operations and terminal leadership with data driven decision scenarios
• Participate in monthly terminal performance reviews and document action items
• Ensure terminal managers understand financial results and the operational drivers behind them

Explicitly Out of Scope

• Day-to-day dispatch execution
• Payroll or accounting close activities
• Direct personnel management
• System administration or IT ownership
