This role provides direct mentorship and a clear development path toward Pricing Strategist or Market Manager positions.

Why Work With Us?
Paul Logistics is an asset-based transportation and logistics company operating across North America. We combine owned fleet operations with strategic brokerage solutions, allowing us to move freight faster, smarter, and with greater operational control.

• Translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights for operations and executive leadership
• Support automation and analytics initiatives as we continue evolving our pricing technology stack

Qualifications

• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, formulas, data cleanup, basic modeling)
• Strong analytical and logical thinking skills
• Comfort working with structured data and identifying trends
• Ability to communicate insights clearly and professionally

Preferred but Not Required:
• Power BI, Tableau, or other data visualization tools
