Senior Financial Analyst- Linehaul & Digitalization
Top Benefits
About the role
Intelcom | Dragonfly With more than 100 sorting stations and operations across three continents, Intelcom | Dragonfly is Canada’s leader in last-mile logistics. Our vision is clear: to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable service powered by cutting-edge technology. A Strategic Role at the Heart of Logistic The Senior Financial Analyst – Linehaul & Digitalization will own the economics of contracted trucking that moves packages across Intelcom | Dragonfly’s network. The role drives cost efficiency by turning carrier and network data into measurable improvements in cost per km and cost per tonne-km.
The senior analyst will build and maintain advanced, driver-based models and allocation logic (tonne-km and gross tonne-km) to reallocate linehaul costs accurately across lanes, flows, and business units. The role focuses on only five controllable performance drivers: fuel, deadhead, dwell time, fill rate (utilization), and load factor.
This position is designed for a candidate with proven experience in establishing, digitalizing and enforcing processes, coupled with advanced data modeling and a track record of converting analysis into sustained cost reduction actions.
Key Responsibilities
- Linehaul Cost Economics & Allocation
- Own linehaul spend transparency using km, lb-km, and gross tonne-km; eliminate blended averages and expose true unit economics.
- Build and maintain allocation models to reallocate contracted linehaul costs across lanes, flows, and business units using tonne-km as the primary allocator.
- Create governance for data definitions and reconciliation so Finance, Operations, and Network Planning work from one economic view.
- Driver-Based Performance Management
- Fuel: validate fuel index pass-throughs and quantify fuel-driven cost per km; separate market movement from operational inefficiency.
- Deadhead: measure empty km % and the dilution impact on tonne-km economics; identify routes, schedules, and pairing opportunities to reduce empty repositioning.
- Dwell time: quantify detention and dwell at nodes and translate into cost per km and service impacts; surface chronic bottlenecks and owners.
- Fill rate (utilization): measure capacity utilization vs theoretical and paid capacity; identify under-filled linehaul moves and opportunities for consolidation.
- Load factor: quantify weight efficiency and realized tonne-km vs paid km; detect systematic under-loading and network imbalance.
- Advanced Modeling & Scenario Analysis
- Develop multi-variable, driver-based forecasting models linking volume, weight, distance, utilization, and carrier mix to total linehaul cost.
- Run scenario and sensitivity analyses on network changes (lane redesign, consolidation, schedule shifts) to quantify savings and trade-offs.
- Stress-test carrier cost and performance narratives with objective data; translate findings into decisions and actions.
- Cross-Functional Decision Support
- Partner with Operations and Network Planning to convert performance insights into executable actions that reduce cost per km and cost per tonne-km.
- Support Procurement and carrier management with economic models for negotiations, lane awards, and performance conversations grounded in the five drivers.
- Produce executive-ready dashboards and decision briefs that highlight cost-out opportunities, risks, and required trade-offs.
- Leveraging information systems : build, transform and digitalize best practice cross-functional processes and decision tree relative to Network Operations, with a clear focus on accountability, delegation of authority (DoA) and financial oversight.
- Steward the digitalization efforts related to Network and act as an accelerator for all new products/technologies related to the network, worldwide, acting with a sense of urgency and ensuring full integration into the ERP stack.
- Enforce the DoA relative to lane modification/opening.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Proven experience (8+ years) in FP&A, operations finance, or analytical roles with direct responsibility for cost drivers and performance outcomes.
- Advanced data modeling expertise (driver-based models, allocations, multi-variable scenarios) with demonstrated impact on cost efficiency.
- Strong capability with large datasets and BI tooling (Power BI or equivalent) and advanced Excel modeling.
- Ability to design, defend, and operationalize tonne-km and gross tonne-km allocation logic for cost reallocation.
- Strong stakeholder management skills; can challenge assumptions and drive decisions with clear economic logic.
- Technological saviness : A passion for digitalizing processes, automate data flows within systems and leverage the ERP stack to build true end-to-end solutions.
- French and English fluency - The role involves daily (or regular) communication with pan-Canadian stakeholders.
Preferred
- Candidate with strong knowledge of network operations, linehaul processes, and carrier management practices.
- Experience in logistics, transportation, or parcel networks with contracted carrier environments.
- Professional designation (CPA) or equivalent financial rigor.
- Experience building standardized KPI and governance frameworks.
- Experience in digitalizing processes and leveraging ERP functionalities and connectivity.
Why Join Us?
- High-impact role controlling a major cost line with direct influence on margin and scalability.
- Opportunity to institutionalize lb-km based cost accountability and performance discipline across the network.
- Exposure to senior Operations and Finance leadership; work that translates directly into cost-out actions.
