Data & Insights Analyst

Catena · Remote (US) · Full-Time

The Short Version

We sit beneath the freight ecosystem — normalizing real-time telematics and execution data from hundreds of thousands of trucks and trailers across 130+ providers into a single API. The data is real, messy, and valuable. We need someone who can turn it into insights that make customers immediately understand what they've been missing.

This is our first dedicated analytics hire. The data infrastructure exists — your job is to be the person who makes it speak.

What You'll Own

Insight Generation — you'll dig into large-scale telematics and execution data to surface patterns in utilization, dwell, driver activity, safety signals, and operational performance. The data is there. Your job is to make it say something meaningful.

GTM Enablement — when a prospect asks "what can your data actually show me?", your work is what answers that question. You'll build demo dashboards, sandbox datasets, ROI metrics, and example analyses that help sales and GTM teams close deals with real proof points — not slides.

Product & Platform Feedback — you'll validate assumptions, surface gaps, and help define the metrics that customers actually trust. Your analysis will influence roadmap priorities by grounding them in what the data does and doesn't support today.

Data Quality & Coverage — you'll help monitor the completeness and reliability of Catena's data network, working with engineering and product to identify normalization gaps and improve how we represent lane history, asset identity, and availability across the network.

Who Fits This Role

The best candidates have worked with real operational data in logistics, supply chain, transportation, or marketplace environments — and understand that clean, labeled, well-structured data is the exception, not the rule. You've built dashboards and reports that non-technical people actually use, and you know the difference between an analysis that's technically correct and one that changes how someone makes a decision.

Specifically, you:

• Are strong in SQL and comfortable building reporting workflows from scratch. Python or notebooks are a plus, but not required.
• Have experience making messy, large-scale datasets usable — not just querying clean tables.
• Can translate a complex finding into a clear narrative for a sales call or a product review.
• Are curious about how data reflects real-world operations, not just how it looks in a dashboard.
• Thrive in ambiguity. At 15 people, the spec for what you're building often comes from you.
• Take ownership of the output, not just the analysis. If it doesn't land with the audience, it didn't work.

3+ years in data analytics, business intelligence, or related roles. Logistics or supply chain experience is a meaningful plus.

Why Catena, Why Now

Catena has raised $8.25M from Shaper Capital, Floating Point, Plug and Play, Liquid 2, and leading industry angels. Customers are already using us in production — many of them are also investors.

The data you'll work with is genuinely novel. Normalized, real-time telematics data at this scale and coverage doesn't exist anywhere else in freight. You won't be building reports on top of well-understood data — you'll be helping define what the data means and what questions it can answer.

That's a rare problem to work on.
