What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Intelligence Manager position at Aptean?
Overview
Business Intelligence Manager
Location: Alpharetta, GA
Aptean is changing. Our ERP and industry solutions are transforming a huge range of global businesses, from food producers to manufacturers and more. In a world of generic enterprise software, we provide targeted solutions that bring together the very best technology and drive greater results. With over 3,000 employees, 50 products, and a global client base, there’s no better time to advance your career at Aptean.
About The Role
We are seeking a Business Intelligence Manager to lead day-to-day analytics and act as the primary bridge between data, technology, and the business. This role represents an evolution from a hands-on individual contributor into a manager-level position focused on business context, insight generation, and stakeholder influence rather than pure BI development.
You will own how analytics supports business conversations—translating business questions into meaningful operational metrics, shaping insights, and ensuring data is delivered in the most effective format for stakeholders. While technical depth in BI and data manipulation is required, this role is less about building dashboards end-to-end and more about guiding analysis, prioritizing the right questions, and enabling strong data-driven storytelling across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
Aptean is transforming the way global businesses manage their transportation, logistics, and supply chain operations. Our TMS SaaS solutions bring innovative technology to logistics providers, shippers, and supply chain professionals, delivering targeted solutions that drive efficiency and results. With over 3,700 employees, 60 products, and a worldwide customer base, now is the perfect time to advance your career at Aptean.
At Aptean, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company culture. We believe that embracing different perspectives and backgrounds fuels innovation and success. We are dedicated to creating an environment where every employee, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or nationality, can thrive and contribute to our mission.
