Logistics Analyst

Welcome to the Traegerhood: 

 Our business is BBQ, and business tastes good. Traeger invented the wood pellet grill over 30 years ago, and we’ve been revolutionizing outdoor cooking ever since. We’re a team of disruptors, innovators, problem solvers, and food fanatics who are dedicated to bringing people together to create a more flavorful world. From our headquarters in Salt Lake City and beyond, we work tirelessly to provide a world-class experience to our customers, retailers, and especially our employees. If you’re a team player who’s dedicated to delivering top-quality results every day, then we want you to come cook with us! 

The Role 

The Logistics Analyst owns recurring reporting and day-to-day shipment visibility across inbound, outbound, and parcel operations, turning carrier, vendor, and freight data into the metrics the team uses to make decisions. You’ll track carrier performance against our service standards, run the end-to-end carrier claims process, and surface exceptions and cost-saving opportunities across the transportation network. Reporting accuracy is yours to own — the team makes decisions off your numbers. 

This is a high-ownership entry point for someone early in their supply chain career who wants to build deep, practical logistics expertise and grow into broader analysis and process strategy. 

How Success Is Measured 

Transportation performance is the scoreboard. Traeger’s standard is OTIF (On Time In Full) above 95% on both on-time pickup and on-time delivery. This role keeps that number visible, accurate, and trending the right way — measuring it, reporting it, and surfacing the carrier and lane exceptions that put it at risk. 

How You’ll Help Us Win 

• Own daily shipment visibility and appointment compliance across vendor portals and our TMS; surface and escalate exceptions within defined SLA windows, including international shipments where you’ll work delays and delivery issues with forwarders and brokers. 

• Build and maintain recurring KPI reporting across prepaid, collect, and parcel — weekly stand-up metrics and the monthly end-of-month transportation report — and own its accuracy as the team’s source of truth. 

• Track and report carrier and vendor performance against scorecards: OTIF (95%+ pickup and delivery), on-time trends, and accessorial activity; flag underperforming carriers and lanes for review. 

• Manage and optimize inbound routing for timely, cost-effective freight decisions within routing guidelines, and support the air-freight program with routing and cost oversight. 

• Run the end-to-end carrier claims process, driving measurable claim recovery and implementing corrective actions that prevent recurrence. 

• Conduct freight cost and invoice-variance analysis to identify, quantify, and recommend cost-saving and routing-optimization opportunities. 

• Analyze shipment data at scale to identify trends and issues, recommend alternatives, and escalate with a recommendation attached — not just a problem. 

• Keep documentation complete and compliant on international moves, meeting customs requirements for shipment paperwork. 

• Partner cross-functionally with Planning, Operations, IT, and Finance on inbound timing, system data, freight accruals, and claim recovery; serve as a reliable first point of contact for transportation inquiries. 

• Maintain SOPs and drive process improvement, building repeatable solutions rather than one-off fixes; cross-train across the logistics department and problem-solve wherever needed. 

Core Competencies 

• Data Literacy & Metrics: reads and interprets operational data — OTIF, cost per shipment, transit times, carrier scorecards — with confidence; spots anomalies and explains what they mean in context, not just reporting the numbers.   

• Communication & Visibility: communicates status and issues clearly; escalates known issues in a timely way without waiting to be prompted.  

• Attention to Detail: high accuracy in data, reporting, and claims documentation with minimal errors. 

• Analytical Thinking: turns shipment and performance data into actionable recommendations. 

• Problem Solving: diagnoses root causes and implements practical solutions under time pressure; knows when to escalate and seeks guidance appropriately. 

• Accountability: owns recurring work and issues through resolution; follows through without requiring oversight. 

• Systems Proficiency: quickly learns vendor portals, TMS platforms, routing tools, and BI dashboards. 

• Adaptability: re-prioritizes effectively and stays composed during operational firefighting. 

• Leadership & Values: demonstrates Traeger’s values day to day, contributes positively to team culture, and represents Traeger professionally with carriers and partners. 

What You’ll Need to Succeed 

• 1–2 years in a supply chain environment, or a recent Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, Operations, Logistics, International Business, Business, Engineering, or a related field. 

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel — formulas, pivot tables, and data analysis. 

• Comfort working with data in BI dashboards (Domo or similar) and a willingness to learn SQL / data-warehouse querying. 

• Familiarity with ERP systems (Epicor Kinetic a plus). 

• Ability to manage multiple recurring deliverables and competing priorities independently. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

Preferred 

• Hands-on SQL or querying of a data warehouse (e.g., Redshift). 

• Experience with Domo reporting or similar BI tools. 

• Familiarity with TMS platforms and international freight — customs documentation, forwarders, and brokers. 

• Internship or coursework in logistics, supply chain, or operations. 

• Demonstrated interest in process improvement and root-cause problem solving. 

Growth Path 

This role sits at the Team Member level of the Logistics competency framework. Strong performance builds toward Senior Analyst expectations — independent problem-solving, proactively surfacing issues before being asked, and owning KPIs for the function — with a longer path toward broader analysis and, eventually, leadership.
