What You Get To Do:

Sales Planning & Analytics

  • 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

Supply & Demand Operations

  • 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

Strategic Projects

  • 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

Reporting & Dashboards

  • 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

What You Will Need:

  • 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
