## Description

**About Mariana Minerals**Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company on a mission to supply the critical minerals powering modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. We’re reimagining the minerals supply chain by combining deep industry expertise with advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making.
**The Role**
Mariana is hiring a Logistics Analyst to own the operational logistics intelligence that keeps our procurement, engineering, and site teams making well-informed decisions about how we move materials and equipment.
This is not a coordination or execution role — it sits upstream of that. You will work with engineering and purchasing teams to understand what needs to move, when, and under what constraints, and translate that into logistics requirements: modes, routes, costs, lead times, and carrier options. You will also monitor the external logistics environment — freight markets, carrier capacity, seasonal patterns, regulatory changes — so that Mariana is never caught off guard by conditions we could have anticipated. When something like an international holiday or a port congestion event creates a rush on capacity, you will have flagged it in advance.
**What You'll Do**

- Work with engineering, procurement, and operations teams to understand material and equipment movement requirements; translate those needs into logistics scope including mode, route, lead time, and cost estimates

- Analyze freight markets and carrier options to identify the most cost-effective and reliable logistics solutions for each movement type

- Monitor external logistics conditions — seasonal patterns, carrier capacity cycles, port congestion, regulatory changes, industry events — and proactively brief the team on conditions that could affect our shipments or costs

- Build and maintain logistics cost models that help procurement and commercial teams understand the true delivered cost of inputs and equipment

- Support procurement negotiations by providing freight benchmarks, lead time data, and carrier performance information

- Educate internal stakeholders on logistics constraints and market conditions; help engineering and purchasing teams ask the right questions when scoping new projects or supply contracts

- Contribute to logistics planning ahead of site startups; model freight requirements and identify carrier and route options

- Track and analyze freight spend and performance data; identify trends, inefficiencies, and savings opportunities

**Desired Qualifications**

- Bachelor's degree in supply chain, logistics, engineering, economics, or a related field

- 3-6 years of experience in logistics analysis, freight management, supply chain planning, or a related function

- Strong analytical skills; comfortable building cost models, analyzing freight data, and synthesizing market intelligence into clear recommendations

- Working knowledge of freight modes including ocean, air, rail, and linehaul; understanding of how each mode prices and performs under different conditions

- Experience monitoring freight markets and interpreting external logistics conditions is a plus

- Clear communicator; able to explain logistics concepts and constraints to non-logistics audiences including engineers and procurement managers

- Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to prioritize in a fast-moving environment
