Roles in Logistics & Supply Chain
3 roles
Data Analyst
You turn raw, messy data into clear insights. Companies are drowning in data but starving for wisdom—you bridge that gap. You'll use SQL to find the data, Python/R to analyze it, and Tableau/PowerBI to visualize it for stakeholders who need to know 'what do we do next?'
View Role
Backend Engineer
You build the invisible engines that power the world. You handle the logic, the database, the security, and the speed. While frontend is about what users see, backend is about making sure it actually works—reliably, securely, and fast.
View Role
Product Manager
You are the CEO of the product. You find the problem, define the solution, and herd the cats (engineers and designers) to get it built. You don't write code, but you speak its language, ensuring the team builds the *right* thing for the market.
