About the role

Strategy and Operations Analyst responsible for sales planning, analytics, supply & demand operations, strategic projects, and reporting/dashboarding to drive planning, forecasting, and process improvements.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain sales forecasts by customer, species, and channel to drive weekly and monthly planning cycles
  • Develop frameworks for customer prioritization, prospect targeting, and account growth strategies
  • Create and manage weekly sales reporting in Tableau, tracking performance against plan across revenue, volume, and margin
  • Build a cost-to-serve model that goes beyond top-line margin to incorporate order frequency, delivery complexity, payment terms, returns, and sales time per account
  • Own arrival forecasting and variance analysis, working closely with procurement to align inbound supply with customer demand
  • Build and maintain unit cost forecasts across all species and specs, benchmarking against market commodity pricing
  • Develop weekly reporting in Tableau comparing actual arrivals against plan by vessel, species, and volume
  • Analyze vessel and fleet economics to determine cost per pound by boat, factoring in robot uptime, catch volume, species mix, and port logistics
  • Track waste and shrink across the supply chain — from dock to customer — identifying where product is lost through processing, transit damage, short shelf life, or credit claims
  • Support insource/outsource analysis and CAPEX decision-making across processing, distribution, and fleet investments
  • Build ROI models for R&D projects, including revenue forecasting, opex modeling, risk analysis, and project timeline tracking
  • Identify and implement process improvements across the sales and procurement ERP workflows
  • Design and maintain dashboards for on-time delivery tracking, logistics performance, and procurement KPIs
  • Create dynamic, self-serve reporting tools that enable the sales and ops teams to make faster decisions

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience in strategy, analytics, or operations — ideally from management consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.) or a high-growth startup
  • Exceptional analytical skills with strong proficiency in Excel; experience with Tableau or similar BI tools preferred
  • Ability to build financial models, forecasts, and business cases from scratch
  • SQL knowledge is a plus
  • Must be comfortable operating with ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete data
  • Hunger for high-intensity, high-quality, high-value work
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations
  • You thrive in fast-paced environments where priorities shift and no two days look the same
  • Understand that no job, no matter how big or small, is above any of us
