Job Description

Responsibilities
  • Track forecast accuracy across all Network models: demand forecasts, shift planning forecasts, dimensions model, BPP inclusion models
  • Surface model drift and performance issues before they impact operations - you're the early warning system
  • Diagnose forecast errors by client, geography, day of week, and horizon, and quantify the CPP impact
  • Build dashboards that make model performance transparent to the squad and stakeholders
  • Set analytical direction for the Network squad: define what metrics matter, where to invest analytical effort
  • Work with Data Scientists to build the business case for model improvements, whether that's new input signals, data quality fixes, or client-specific treatment
  • Monitor how capacity matches demand across Sortation, Middle Mile, Last Mile, and track shift release effectiveness
  • Translate model performance into business impact that stakeholders can act on
Requirements
  • You have at least 5 years of experience as a data analyst or similar role
  • You're fluent in SQL and experienced with dbt/BigQuery
  • You care about impact more than insight - you measure success by whether forecasts drive better decisions.
  • You can build and maintain analytical models
  • You have a passion for forecasting and predictive modelling - you're energised by understanding where predictions hit and where they miss.
  • You communicate clearly with operations teams and can explain what the data shows without the jargon.
  • You catch problems before they become crises - you're vigilant about when models start behaving unexpectedly.
  • You translate technical performance into business impact - CPP, surge costs, wasted capacity.
  • You've built dashboards that are operationally critical, not just "nice to have".
