6 templates from entry-level to senior, including e-commerce, hybrid, and coordinator versions for smaller teams, with a pay benchmark table and the FLSA exempt-versus-non-exempt guidance every other template skips. Download as DOCX.
A logistics analyst analyzes and improves how a company moves goods through its supply chain. Writing the job description means a few decisions most templates make for you and get wrong for a smaller company: how senior the role is, whether it is exempt or non-exempt under the wage rules, and whether you actually need a dedicated analyst or a coordinator who also does light analysis. The dominant templates assume a large enterprise or a federal contractor. This page does not.
At FirstHR, we build for smaller and growing companies, so these six templates run the full range honestly: standard and senior analyst versions for companies at scale, plus entry-level, e-commerce, hybrid, and coordinator versions that fit a smaller operation. The guide to writing a job description covers the fundamentals, and for the execution-focused role, the logistics coordinator templates are often the better small-business fit.
TL;DR
A logistics analyst analyzes supply chain, shipping, and inventory data to cut cost and improve service. The closest federal occupation reports a median of $80,880 a year (May 2024), though title-specific data runs lower, and entry-level and coordinator versions fall well below that. The FLSA classification is a real judgment call: exempt if salaried with independent analysis duties, non-exempt if junior or coordination-focused. A dedicated analyst is mostly a large-company role, so the small-business fit is the entry-level, coordinator, or hybrid version. Download six templates as DOCX.
What Is a Logistics Analyst?
A logistics analyst analyzes and coordinates how goods move through a supply chain, using data on shipping, cost, and inventory to find inefficiencies and recommend improvements. The work is analytical and central to operations, spanning reporting, optimization, inventory, and vendor coordination. In a large company the role is specialized; in a smaller one it often merges with coordination.
There is no separate federal occupation code for logistics analyst; it falls under logisticians (13-1081), which the Bureau of Labor Statistics defines as analyzing and coordinating an organization's supply chain, and which explicitly includes logistics analysts and logistics engineers. That occupation is broad and includes higher-paid managers, so title-specific analyst pay tends to run a bit below the headline figure.
Logistics Analyst Duties and Responsibilities
Logistics analyst duties cluster into four areas: analysis and reporting, optimization and planning, inventory and supply chain, and vendors and coordination. A strong job description picks the responsibilities from each area that match the seniority and scope you are hiring for, rather than listing every possible task.
Analysis and reporting
Analyze shipping, cost, and inventory data
Build reports and performance dashboards
Monitor KPIs and service levels
Optimization and planning
Identify cost and efficiency opportunities
Recommend routing and process improvements
Support demand planning and forecasting
Inventory and supply chain
Track inventory levels and turnover
Support inventory optimization
Flag stockouts and overstock
Vendors and coordination
Track carrier and vendor performance
Coordinate with operations and warehouse
Compare carrier rates and options
The balance shifts by level: a coordinator leans into execution and tracking, an analyst into reporting and optimization, and a senior analyst into modeling and strategy. For a structured way to scope the role, the guide to defining job responsibilities walks through the process.
Which Template Should You Use?
Pick the template by your company size and the seniority of the role. The core structure is the same across all six, but each emphasizes the scope, qualifications, and classification that fit a specific situation. Use this guide to choose the closest fit, then adjust.
Logistics Analyst (Standard)
The core role
The standard mid-level version: analyze supply chain, shipping, and inventory data, find inefficiencies, and recommend improvements. The baseline to adapt.
Entry-Level / Junior
First analyst hire
Sub-threshold and often non-exempt: data pulling, reporting, and learning the supply chain under guidance. The best fit for a smaller team and a first hire.
Senior Logistics Analyst
Strategy and modeling
The senior version: leads complex analysis, models scenarios, advises leadership, and mentors others. Typically meets the exempt salary and duties test.
E-commerce / Small Distributor
Small online retailer
The practical small-business version: order, carrier, and fulfillment analysis for a growing e-commerce shop or small distributor. Hands-on, not corporate.
Coordinator-Analyst Hybrid
One person, both jobs
For a small team where one person both runs day-to-day logistics and analyzes it. Blends coordination and analysis in a single versatile role.
Logistics Coordinator
Day-to-day operations
The hands-on operations role, not analysis: scheduling carriers, tracking shipments, and paperwork. Typically non-exempt and a strong small-business fit.
Match the Template to Your Company
A growing online store or small distributor: E-commerce / Small Distributor. A first or junior analytical hire: Entry-Level / Junior. One person doing both coordination and analysis: Coordinator-Analyst Hybrid. Day-to-day execution only: Logistics Coordinator. An established supply chain operation: Logistics Analyst (Standard). A strategic individual contributor: Senior Logistics Analyst. For most smaller companies, the coordinator, hybrid, or entry-level version is the realistic hire.

FLSA: Exempt or Non-Exempt?
Unlike a frontline hourly job, the logistics analyst sits on the line between exempt and non-exempt, and the classification is a real judgment call that depends on duties and salary rather than the title. It is also the thing every competitor template ignores.
Classify by Duties and Salary, Not the Title
To be exempt, the role generally must be paid on a salary basis of at least $684 a week ($35,568 a year) and meet a duties test. An analyst whose primary duty is genuine analysis and optimization using independent judgment on matters of significance often qualifies under the administrative exemption. A junior analyst, a coordinator, or anyone mostly running standard reports and following procedures, or paid below the threshold, is typically non-exempt and owed overtime. Some states set higher thresholds. Confirm each role on its facts with an advisor. This is general information, not legal advice.
Logistics analyst roles combine education and supply chain knowledge with strong data skills. Scale the requirements to the seniority you are hiring for.
Requirement
What to look for
Education
Bachelor's in supply chain, business, or logistics; experience can substitute for junior roles
Experience
Coordinator entry-level; analyst 2 to 4 years; senior 5+ with a track record
Data skills
Strong spreadsheets, reporting, and data analysis; modeling for senior roles
Domain knowledge
Supply chain, shipping, carriers, and inventory concepts
Certifications
APICS CPIM or CSCP valued but usually optional
Classification
Exempt or non-exempt by duties and salary; confirm per role
Keep the posting neutral and inclusive, since the EEOC prohibits job advertisements that show a preference based on a protected characteristic, and the SHRM guide covers the standard sections of a job description.
Logistics Analyst Pay
Pay straddles the line around 80,000 dollars a year and varies widely by seniority, industry, and company size. Set your range to the level you are hiring and your local market.
Federal Median Near $80,880 a Year (BLS)
The closest federal occupation, logisticians, had a median annual wage of $80,880 in May 2024, with the 10th percentile at $49,260 and the 90th percentile at $132,110 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). That occupation is broad and includes managers, so analyst-title pay runs lower. Employment is projected to grow 17 percent from 2024 to 2034, much faster than average.
In practice, analyst-title sources commonly land in the high 60,000s to high 70,000s, entry-level and junior analysts start in the high 40,000s to high 50,000s, and logistics coordinators run lower, often mid 40,000s to mid 50,000s. Federal, defense, and large-enterprise roles pay the most, with federal logisticians reporting a median above 100,000 dollars. For a smaller company or an entry-level hire, the lower-to-mid part of the range is realistic. National compensation surveys are a useful reference for regional detail.
Hiring a Logistics Analyst for a Small Business
This is the honest part most templates leave out: a dedicated logistics analyst is largely a large-enterprise, federal, and defense role, and a company of 5 to 50 people usually needs something different. Here is what actually fits a smaller company, and how to classify and onboard the hire.
A dedicated logistics analyst is mostly a large-company role, so frame the hire honestly
The clean logistics analyst role is concentrated in large enterprises, federal agencies, defense contractors, and third-party logistics firms, not in companies of 5 to 50 people. A smaller business that needs this kind of work usually hires a logistics coordinator who also does light analysis, a junior analyst, or one versatile person who covers both coordination and reporting. That is why this page leads with the entry-level, e-commerce, hybrid, and coordinator versions rather than the corporate analyst default. If you run a growing online store, a small distributor, or a small freight operation, those versions match your reality. Use the standard and senior templates only if you are already at the scale where a dedicated analyst with deep specialization makes sense.
The FLSA classification is a real judgment call, and no competitor template addresses it
Whether a logistics analyst is exempt or non-exempt depends on duties and salary, not the title, and this role sits right on the line. If the person is paid on a salary basis of at least 684 dollars a week and their primary duty is genuine analysis and process optimization using independent judgment on matters of significance, the role usually qualifies as exempt under the administrative exemption. But a junior analyst, a coordinator, or a data-entry role that mainly follows established procedures and runs standard reports is typically non-exempt and owed overtime. Smaller-company versions of this role skew toward the non-exempt side, because the work is more hands-on coordination than independent strategy. Classify each role on its actual duties and pay, document the reasoning, and check state rules, since some states set higher thresholds. This is general information, not legal advice.
Once you hire, the analyst or coordinator still needs a clean onboarding into your systems and data
A logistics hire is only useful once they understand your operation, your data, and your tools, so a structured onboarding pays off quickly. The people side is ordinary operations made repeatable: a clear offer that states pay and the exempt or non-exempt classification, the I-9 and tax forms, access to the systems and reports they will work in, and a first-90-days plan so they know what to analyze or coordinate first. FirstHR fits this for a small operations or e-commerce business: e-signature for the offer and policy acknowledgments, an AI onboarding wizard and task workflows for a consistent first-week and first-90-days plan, training modules for systems and process orientation, and document management for signed forms and records. To be clear about scope, FirstHR is an onboarding and HR platform, not a logistics, inventory, or transportation management system, and it does not run payroll or administer benefits, so pair it with those providers. Applicant tracking is coming soon.
From Hiring to Onboarding
The job description is step one. Once a candidate accepts, the same document becomes the basis for the offer and onboarding, and for an analytical hire a structured start matters, because the person is only productive once they understand your operation, your data, and your tools.
Send the offer
Confirm the role, pay, and the exempt or non-exempt classification in writing. An offer letter template makes this fast for an analyst or coordinator role.
Confirm the classification
Document whether the role is exempt or non-exempt based on actual duties and salary, before the first day.
Onboard into systems and data
Give the new hire access to the reports, tools, and processes they will work in, with a clear first-90-days plan.
Store the records
Keep the signed offer, I-9, tax forms, and policy acknowledgments organized and easy to find.
Once your offer is ready, the offer letter template handles the next step, and an onboarding template gives the new hire a structured start. FirstHR connects the offer, paperwork, e-signatures, onboarding workflow, and systems orientation in one place, so a small operations or e-commerce business can run the same fast process every time it hires. FirstHR is an onboarding and HR platform, not a logistics, inventory, or transportation management system, and it does not run payroll or administer benefits, so connect those separately. Applicant tracking is coming soon to FirstHR.
Key Takeaways
A logistics analyst analyzes supply chain, shipping, and inventory data to cut cost and improve service; the role maps to the federal logisticians occupation.
The FLSA classification is a genuine judgment call: exempt if salaried above $684 a week with independent analysis duties, non-exempt if junior or coordination-focused.
The federal median is $80,880 a year (May 2024), but that figure includes managers, so analyst-title pay runs lower and entry-level and coordinator roles fall well below it.
A dedicated logistics analyst is mostly a large-enterprise, federal, and defense role; smaller companies more often need a coordinator, a junior analyst, or a hybrid.
Use the entry-level, e-commerce, hybrid, or coordinator template for a smaller company and the standard or senior versions for an operation at scale.
For most small businesses, the logistics coordinator is the better-fitting, sub-threshold, non-exempt hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a logistics analyst do?
A logistics analyst analyzes and improves how an organization moves goods through its supply chain. The work clusters into four areas: analysis and reporting (digging into shipping, cost, and inventory data and building dashboards), optimization and planning (finding cost and efficiency opportunities and recommending routing and process changes), inventory and supply chain (tracking levels, turnover, stockouts, and overstock), and vendors and coordination (monitoring carrier and vendor performance and coordinating with operations and warehouse teams). It is a data-driven, analytical role that sits at the center of operations. The federal occupation that includes logistics analysts is logisticians, defined as analyzing and coordinating an organization's supply chain across the life cycle of a product. This page includes standard, entry-level, senior, e-commerce, hybrid, and coordinator versions so you can match the template to your company and seniority.
What is the difference between a logistics analyst and a logistics coordinator?
They are related but distinct. A logistics coordinator runs day-to-day operations: scheduling carriers, tracking shipments, handling paperwork, communicating with suppliers and customers, and resolving delays. It is hands-on and execution-focused, typically non-exempt and hourly, and it is the better fit for most smaller businesses. A logistics analyst is analytical: digging into data, finding inefficiencies, modeling scenarios, and recommending improvements that cut cost and improve service. The analyst role usually requires more education and pays more, and a senior analyst often qualifies as exempt. In a small team, the two roles frequently merge into one coordinator-analyst hybrid where the same person both coordinates shipments and analyzes the data. This page includes a dedicated coordinator template and a hybrid template alongside the analyst versions, because for a smaller company the coordinator or hybrid is often the more realistic hire.
Is a logistics analyst exempt or non-exempt under the FLSA?
It depends on the actual duties and salary, not the title, and this role genuinely sits on the line. To be exempt, the person must generally be paid on a salary basis of at least 684 dollars a week (35,568 dollars a year) and meet a duties test. A logistics analyst whose primary duty is genuine analysis and process optimization, exercising independent judgment on matters of significance, often qualifies under the administrative exemption. But a junior analyst, a coordinator, or a data-entry role that mainly runs standard reports and follows established procedures is typically non-exempt and entitled to overtime. Entry-level and coordinator versions of this role, which are the most common in smaller companies, frequently fall on the non-exempt side. Classify each role on its specific facts, document the reasoning, and check state rules, since some states set higher salary thresholds. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much does a logistics analyst make?
Pay varies by seniority, industry, and company size, and the role straddles the line around 80,000 dollars a year. The closest federal occupation, logisticians, had a median annual wage of 80,880 dollars in May 2024, with the 10th percentile at 49,260 dollars and the 90th percentile at 132,110 dollars; that figure is broad and includes higher-paid logistics managers, so title-specific data for analysts tends to run a bit lower. Commercial sources that track the analyst title specifically commonly land in the high 60,000s to high 70,000s. Entry-level and junior analysts typically start in the high 40,000s to high 50,000s, and logistics coordinators run lower still, often in the mid 40,000s to mid 50,000s. Senior analysts and those in federal, defense, or large-enterprise roles can reach six figures. For a posting, set your range to the seniority and your local market, and lean lower for an entry-level or coordinator hire at a smaller company. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do small businesses hire logistics analysts?
Less often than large companies, and that is the honest answer. A dedicated logistics analyst is concentrated in large enterprises, federal agencies, defense contractors, and third-party logistics firms, where supply chains are big enough to justify a specialized analytical headcount. A company of 5 to 50 people that needs this kind of work usually hires a logistics coordinator who also does light analysis, a junior analyst, or one versatile person who handles both coordination and reporting. Smaller e-commerce businesses, distributors, and freight operations do need someone watching shipping costs, carrier performance, and inventory, but they rarely staff a full dedicated analyst. That is why this page leads with the entry-level, e-commerce, hybrid, and coordinator versions, which fit the smaller-company reality, and treats the standard and senior analyst templates as the versions for companies already at scale. Match the template to where your company actually is.
What qualifications does a logistics analyst need?
Most logistics analyst roles ask for a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, logistics, or a related field, though some employers accept relevant experience in place of a degree, especially for junior or coordinator roles. The core skills are strong data analysis, comfort with spreadsheets and reporting or visualization tools, knowledge of supply chain and inventory concepts, and the judgment to turn data into actionable recommendations. A few years of logistics, supply chain, or operations experience is typical for a standard analyst, while a senior role expects advanced modeling and a track record of measurable improvements. Certifications such as APICS CPIM or CSCP are valued but usually optional. For a smaller company or an entry-level hire, prioritize practical analytical ability and a willingness to learn your operation over formal credentials. Adjust the requirements to the seniority you are hiring for. This is general information, not legal advice.
Should I write a logistics analyst or a logistics coordinator job description?
For most smaller businesses, the logistics coordinator is the more realistic and better-fitting hire. A coordinator handles the day-to-day execution that a growing operation actually needs: scheduling shipments, tracking deliveries, managing paperwork, and coordinating with carriers and suppliers. It is typically a non-exempt, hourly role with a lower salary range, and it maps cleanly to small-company operations. A logistics analyst, by contrast, is a more specialized, analytical, and higher-paid role that makes sense once your supply chain is large enough to justify dedicated analysis. If you are unsure, start by writing down the actual tasks you need done: if they are mostly execution and coordination, use the coordinator template; if they are mostly data analysis and optimization, use an analyst template; and if they are a mix, the coordinator-analyst hybrid on this page is built for exactly that. You can also see the dedicated logistics coordinator templates for the execution-focused role.
How does FirstHR help after I hire a logistics analyst?
FirstHR handles the people side of the hire, from offer through onboarding, which is the same regardless of which logistics role you fill. Once a candidate accepts, you can send the offer with e-signature, run a consistent first-week and first-90-days onboarding through the AI onboarding wizard and task workflows, deliver systems and process orientation through training modules, and store the signed offer, I-9, tax forms, and policy acknowledgments in document management. Because pricing is flat rather than per employee, a small operations or e-commerce business pays one predictable rate. To be clear about scope, FirstHR is an onboarding and HR platform, not a logistics, inventory, or transportation management system, so it organizes the hire and the new employee's first months, not your supply chain itself. FirstHR does not run payroll or administer benefits, so pair it with those providers, and applicant tracking is coming soon.
