Data is the backbone of the Panasonic Supply Chain, and the PEXNA Logistics Data Analytics team is actively transforming how that data is accessed, trusted, and used to drive real business decisions. The Senior Logistics Analyst is the execution engine of that transformation — building automated pipelines, governing the Power BI intelligence layer, and delivering the high-quality analytical outputs that supply chain, finance, and business-unit leaders rely on to manage performance and make strategic decisions.

This is not a steady-state reporting role. The Senior Analyst will actively drive the elimination of manual processes while building governed, scalable replacements in their place. The role delivers advanced logistics analysis, governed Power BI solutions, automated reporting workflows, and data-quality controls for Logistics Excellence, Logistics Operations, and business-unit stakeholders. The Senior Analyst serves as the primary analytical point of contact for high-priority and ad hoc requests, working with Solution Managers, Operations Managers, business units, Information Technology, and outsourced analytics resources.

Responsibilities include:

• Design, build, and govern Power BI dashboards and key performance indicator frameworks for inbound, warehouse, outbound, carrier, freight cost, inventory, project savings, and executive reporting — with governed self-service as the primary design objective.
• Own the business intelligence product lifecycle — from stakeholder discovery and data modeling through DAX development, user acceptance testing, deployment, documentation, adoption, and ongoing enhancement.
• Develop intuitive self-service solutions and enable business users to answer recurring questions independently using trusted, always-current data — reducing request volume.
• Serve as the primary analytics point of contact for Logistics Excellence and manage recurring, high-priority, and ad hoc requests from Solution Managers, Operations Managers, and business units.
• Lead simulation studies, scenario analysis, root-cause analysis, RFP evaluation, transportation and network cost modeling, and other in-depth analytical work that supports operational and strategic decisions.
• Build, test, deploy, and maintain automated reporting and data-extraction workflows using Power Automate, Alteryx, or equivalent tools across logistics systems, warehouse management systems, carrier portals, and other source systems.
• Serve as the logistics data subject-matter expert with the Information Technology Department — monitor and verify data integrity in Data Warehouse-fed reports, investigate discrepancies, and coordinate timely remediation before issues reach stakeholder reporting.

Qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Data Analytics, Business, Engineering, or a related field required; master's degree preferred.
• Three to six years of progressive experience in supply-chain analytics, logistics operations, transportation, or a closely related analytical role.
• Advanced Power BI experience required — including data modeling, DAX development, Power BI Service administration, dashboard governance, self-service architecture, and report certification.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying production automation required — using UiPath, Power Automate, or an equivalent platform; built and deployed in a real environment, not trained and certified only.
• Demonstrated experience with simulation studies, scenario analysis, cost modeling, root-cause analysis, or other in-depth supply-chain analytical work.
• Working knowledge of SAP, warehouse management systems, carrier data, and Data Warehouse reporting; advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills required.
• Experience coordinating offshore, outsourced, or third-party analytical resources preferred; logistics, freight, or transportation domain experience strongly preferred.
• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, or active progress toward certification, preferred.

Competencies include:

• Intrinsic Drive for Continuous Improvement.
• Automation-First Mindset with Process Engineering Discipline.
• Advanced Business Intelligence Governance & Self-Service Design.
• Independent Execution & Distributed Team Coordination.
• Supply Chain Domain Expertise & Cross-Functional Communication.
• Communications:
  Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills required.
