Chicago, United States Echo Global Logistics Full time

At Echo, we foster a culture that promotes continuous learning, innovation, and personal development. Apply today and grow with Echo

Echo Global Logistics is a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation management services. As a third-party logistics provider, we simplify transportation management for our clients and carriers, handling crucial tasks so they can focus on what they do best. From coast to coast, dock to dock, and across all major transportation modes, Echo connects businesses that need to ship their products with carriers who transport goods quickly, securely, and cost-effectively.

Position Overview

As Echo continues a data-driven growth strategy, we are searching for a Financial Analyst that can help drive our internal metrics and reporting. As a key member of the finance team, the Analyst will support our sales and operations organizations by creating and maintaining analytics and reporting across all business units to help propel our team’s performance.
