Logistics Data & Systems Specialist
American Bath Group
Jackson, Tennessee | Onsite
$60,000 Base Salary | No Bonus
Full-Time | Individual Contributor
Build the Technical Foundation for Logistics
American Bath Group is seeking a Logistics Data & Systems Specialist to help turn fragmented data, disconnected systems, and manual logistics workflows into trusted, reusable systems, automation, and data products.
This is a hands-on build role for someone who can move from an ambiguous operational problem to a practical technical solution — mapping sources, designing data structures and integrations, building, testing, validating with users, and leaving behind supportable documentation and controls.
The mandate is straightforward:
Own how Logistics data is sourced, modeled, automated, and maintained — creating a stable technical foundation that removes manual work and makes future analytics and automation scalable.
Location and Schedule
This position is onsite in Jackson, Tennessee.
Candidates should either:
- Currently live in the Jackson, Tennessee area;
- Already be planning to relocate to the Jackson area; or
- Be willing to relocate to Jackson for the opportunity.
This position does not qualify for a relocation incentive or relocation assistance. Candidates requiring relocation must be prepared to relocate at their own expense.
The position operates on a standard 40-hour workweek, with a typical start time between approximately 8:00 AM, with flexibility based on operational needs.
No required travel is expected, although occasional optional travel may arise.
What You Will Build and Own
The Logistics Data & Systems Specialist sits at the intersection of operational logistics, data engineering, business systems, and practical automation.
Map and Connect the Data Landscape
Identify how major logistics, TMS, ERP, fleet, carrier, financial, and operational data sources fit together.
You will help determine:
- Where critical data originates;
- How systems and sources connect;
- Where data-quality gaps or inconsistencies exist;
- Which data should become governed, reusable assets; and
- How those sources should support future reporting, analytics, and automation.
Build Pipelines, Models, and Data Products
Develop and maintain technical patterns that move priority datasets into reliable, reusable structures.
The goal is not simply to create another report. The goal is to build a technical foundation that can support reporting, analytics, automation, and future business needs without recreating the same work repeatedly.
Automate Recurring Work
Identify and reduce avoidable manual effort across areas such as:
- Planning;
- Dispatch;
- Diagramming;
- Reporting; and
- Administrative logistics workflows.
The expectation is to move meaningful automation beyond ideas or maintenance and into testing, adoption, and production where appropriate.
Validate Against Operational Reality
A technically correct result is not automatically an operationally correct result.
You will work with frontline users and business stakeholders to test technical outputs against how the work actually happens, confirm assumptions, identify source or process changes, and make sure solutions work in practice.
Build Supportability Into the Solution
Successful solutions should not depend permanently on the person who created them.
You will establish and maintain:
- Source mappings;
- Data-quality controls;
- Technical documentation;
- Reusable integration patterns;
- Monitoring and validation practices; and
- Recovery and support procedures.
Own Intake and Execution Discipline
This role requires more than technical execution.
You will be expected to:
- Prioritize assigned work;
- Turn larger initiatives into defined phases and tasks;
- Manage deadlines and dependencies;
- Communicate risks early;
- Maintain visibility to progress; and
- Keep roadmap commitments clearly identified as on-track or at-risk.
What Success Looks LikeCentralize and Stabilize Logistics Data
Major TMS, ERP, fleet, carrier, financial, and operational sources are mapped, and priority datasets begin moving into governed, reusable pipelines and models with appropriate refresh and data-quality controls.
Remove Meaningful Manual Work
Planning, dispatch, diagramming, reporting, and administrative automation advances into testing, adoption, or production, with clear evidence that recurring manual steps are being reduced.
Create a Scalable Technical Operating Model
Source mappings, data-quality checks, documentation, reusable integration patterns, and support/recovery procedures become part of how the work is executed.
Deliver Against the Roadmap
Assigned work moves through a visible intake and roadmap process. Larger initiatives are broken into phases, tasks, and deadlines, and progress or risks remain visible to stakeholders.
First Six Months
Early proof points for the person entering this role include:
- Inventorying and mapping major data sources and known quality gaps;
- Establishing an initial technical backlog connected to logistics priorities;
- Moving priority datasets into governed, reusable patterns with validation and monitoring;
- Advancing meaningful automation beyond maintenance and into testing, adoption, or production; and
- Routing assigned work through the established intake and roadmap operating structure.
Success will be measured through delivery, adoption, controls, supportability, and visible progress against the roadmap rather than through one predetermined global numeric target.
Required Qualifications and CapabilitiesPower BI and Excel
Power BI and Excel are required foundations for this role.
We are looking for someone who can use these tools as part of a broader data and systems problem-solving workflow — not someone whose experience is limited to consuming existing reports or dashboards.
Personal Authorship
You should be able to describe work that you personally carried from an ambiguous system, data, or process problem through areas such as:
- Discovery;
- Source mapping;
- Solution design;
- Modeling or integration;
- Build;
- Testing;
- Validation;
- Adoption; and
- Ongoing support.
We want to understand what you personally designed, built, tested, or implemented.
Operational Validation
You understand that the technical output must match operational reality.
You validate your work with the people and processes it supports and recognize when changes in a source system or business process create risk.
Documentation and Support Controls
You leave behind solutions that can be understood, supported, and recovered.
Technical documentation, source mappings, controls, and support practices are part of the solution rather than an afterthought.
Ownership and Follow-Through
You can prioritize work, communicate across technical and operational stakeholders, manage dependencies, and keep commitments moving without waiting for every requirement to be perfectly defined.
Systems and ToolsRequired
Helpful or Trainable Experience
Exposure to any of the following can accelerate success in the role, but these are not all required on day one:
- Microsoft Fabric
- SQL
- Python
- ETL / ELT
- APIs
- Notebooks
- Lakehouse environments
- Semantic models
- Power Automate
- Transportation Management Systems
- Fleet Management Systems
- Motive
- CMS
- SAP
- Sage
- Data lineage
- Master data
- Data governance
The Environment
This is a build-and-scale role, not a maintenance-only position.
The operating environment includes:
- 7+ ERP/systems environments;
- Fragmented data;
- Manual workflows;
- A significant technical roadmap;
- Data-quality challenges;
- Adoption dependencies;
- Competing priorities; and
- The need to reduce key-person dependency.
You will need to make progress in an environment where requirements may not always arrive perfectly defined.
You Are Likely to Thrive Here If You...
- Prefer building durable systems over maintaining manual workarounds;
- Can create structure around ambiguous problems;
- Are comfortable working across fragmented data and multiple systems;
- Know when to move forward and when an assumption needs to be validated;
- Balance technical depth with practical operating judgment;
- Want to eliminate root causes rather than automate a bad process;
- Can work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders;
- Take ownership for communication, prioritization, and follow-through; and
- Care about whether your solution can be supported after implementation.
You should also be comfortable partnering with stakeholders across frontline operations, logistics leadership, IT/ERP/CMS teams, and Finance/Accounting.
What This Role Is Not
This is not a dashboard-only or reporting-user position presented as a systems role.
It is not a role focused on preserving manual workarounds.
It is not a role for someone who needs perfectly defined requirements before beginning.
It is not an overengineering role where technical sophistication matters more than whether the solution works for the operation.
And it is not a role where one person builds something only they can understand or support.
The expectation is to own the technical path from source and process understanding through build, testing, validation, adoption, documentation, and supportability.
Role Boundary
The Logistics Data & Systems Specialist owns what data is sourced and how it is modeled, automated, and maintained.
The Freight Analyst owns what needs to be measured, why it matters, how results should be interpreted, and what business action should follow.
This separation allows the Specialist to focus on building the technical foundation while the Freight Analyst focuses on freight-business analysis.
Experience Level
There is no predetermined years-of-experience requirement for this position.
Demonstrated capability, personal authorship, technical problem-solving, and the ability to build and support practical solutions are more important than imposing an arbitrary years-of-experience threshold.
Interview Process
Step 1 — Recruiter Screen
Initial discussion covering Power BI and Excel experience, a personally authored systems/process example, communication, and learning agility.
Step 2 — Virtual Hiring-Leader Interview
Deeper discussion of technical reasoning, source and model design, validation approach, prioritization, and ownership.
Step 3 — In-Person Final Interview
Discussion focused on work ethic, practical operating style, communication, team fit, and how you approach the working environment.
