The opportunity
At Flexport, we believe global trade can move the human race forward. That’s why it’s our mission to make global commerce so easy there will be more of it.
What you'll do
Own lane analysis and zone skip strategy including lane-level margin: modeling, utilization thresholds, go/no-go decision frameworks for trailer dispatch, and identification of new lane opportunities across our middle mile and deep injection network.
Drive Cross-Functional Execution: Translate complex operational and network simulations into structured project plans; partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to scale standalone analytical tools into platform-native features.
Build cost models and simulations that forecast the financial and service: impact of network changes before they go live—new zone skip lanes, carrier mix shifts, rate card scenarios, schedule changes, and FC expansion. Your models will be the analytical foundation for major capital and operational decisions.
Conduct shipment and transportation cost analysis including label cost: trends, carrier overpayment identification, rate shopping effectiveness, and per-shipment margin by merchant, lane, and carrier—surfacing where cost is leaking and quantifying the opportunity to recover it.
Support carrier RFP and network strategy by modeling rate card scenarios,: benchmarking carrier economics across lanes and geographies, and building the analytical case for carrier mix decisions and contract negotiations.
Conduct supply chain analysis including inbound flow modeling, FC throughput: and capacity analysis, and demand-driven network planning inputs to support inventory positioning and FC capacity planning.
What they're looking for
- Support network and location analysis to evaluate fulfillment center and sort: center placement, injection point optimization, and the cost impact of serving different geographies from different nodes—helping us understand where to route volume to minimize transportation cost while maintaining service commitments.
- Build reporting and business intelligence for carrier ops managers and: transportation leadership—translating complex operational data into clear dashboards covering OTD, TNT performance, trailer utilization, and lane-level economics.
- Drive cross-functional transportation initiatives as a project lead: defining scope, aligning stakeholders across carrier ops, engineering, finance, and commercial teams, and managing workstreams from analysis through implementation.
- Produce competitive and strategic analysis on how Flexport's transportation: network and product compare to the market—including how peers productize services like zone skipping—and build the analytical case for strategic shifts in our commercial offering.
