About Locus

Battle-tested in 350+ deployments across 30+ countries, Locus is an agentic Transportation Management System for all-mile, all-channel, trusted by enterprises like Unilever, Nestlé, and Siam Makro. 

The platform unifies orders, capacity, and carrier networks into one living plan, aligning planning, execution, and settlement so promises become proof. AI co-pilots with guardrails surface risk early and recommend the next best move to protect SLAs and reduce empty miles.

 In 2025, Locus joined the Ingka Group (IKEA Retail) family, marking a major milestone in our journey. Backed by the scale and strength of IKEA, we continue to operate independently while accelerating our mission to make global supply chains faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

Our platform has powered billions of deliveries across 30 + countries for global enterprises, driving measurable impact in cost savings, carbon reduction, and SLA performance. With the strength of the IKEA ecosystem behind us, we're scaling that impact even further.

Role Overview

We're looking for a generalist analyst to partner with the CPO on strategic planning, research, execution, and incubation of new initiatives. You'll work across Product, Design, Engineering, Data Science, and GTM to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans, decisions, and measurable outcomes.

3) Execution & Program Management

• Run post-launch reviews (what worked, what didn't, next iteration) with clear owner/action follow-ups.
  
  

4) New Initiatives & Incubation

• Partner with the CPO to propose, research, explore and validate moonshot initiatives. 

• Stand up quick experiments (A/Bs, pilots, simulations) and codify learnings into roadmap proposals.

• Prepare investment cases with scenario modeling and ROI/Payback views.
  
  

5) Communication & Stakeholder Alignment

• Produce crisp, visual artifacts: one-pagers, decision memos, exec updates, and board-level materials.

• Facilitate revenue enablement on use-cases, market sizing, value propositions and roadmap selling.
  
  

What You'll Need

• 1–4 years of experience in product strategy/ops, consulting, analytics, or a similar generalist role.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Economics, Management, or equivalent.

• Structured problem-solving, strong quantitative skills

• Ability to think critically, understand the requirements through effective listening, comprehension, and probing skills

• Clear, concise writing and presentation skills; ability to work 1:1 with senior stakeholders.

• High ownership, excellent organization, and comfort with fast-moving, ambiguous contexts.
  
  

Nice to Have
