Job description
✈️ About Smart Freight Centre
Think about the package that just arrived at your doorstep; the products on store shelves, or the goods being shipped across oceans. Logistics is everywhere, powering the world we live in. And because it’s everywhere, it’s also one of the biggest contributors to emissions globally.
That’s where Smart Freight Centre (SFC) steps in. We’re tackling the carbon footprint of logistics head-on, working with businesses, governments, and key players around the globe. Our mission? To transform the logistics sector into a zero-emission industry by 2050—or hopefully even sooner.
✏️ About the position
Freight trucks are a major source of global greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution, and electrifying road freight is one of the most effective strategies to decarbonize logistics at scale.
As Junior Data & Analysis Manager, you will support the execution of total cost of ownership (TCO), emissions, and related economic analyses that underpin the Fleet Electrification Coalition’s (FEC) work. You will contribute to the implementation and continuous improvement of standardized processes for data intake, validation, and model inputs, helping ensure analytical consistency, credibility, and efficiency across projects.
You will work under the guidance of the Senior Technical Manager, collaborating closely on analytics workflows, model updates, quality checks, and performance improvements. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with opportunities to grow technical depth and sector expertise over time.
This role is central to translating datasets into clear, actionable insights that support investment decision-making and help accelerate large-scale electric truck deployment. You will work closely with FEC project leads and engage with shippers, logistics service providers, carriers, investors, truck manufacturers, and policymakers as part of project delivery.
