More about this role
Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company on a mission to supply the critical minerals powering modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. We’re reimagining the minerals supply chain by combining deep industry expertise with advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making.
Mariana is hiring a Logistics Analyst to own the operational logistics intelligence that keeps our procurement, engineering, and site teams making well-informed decisions about how we move materials and equipment.
This is not a coordination or execution role — it sits upstream of that. You will work with engineering and purchasing teams to understand what needs to move, when, and under what constraints, and translate that into logistics requirements: modes, routes, costs, lead times, and carrier options. You will also monitor the external logistics environment — freight markets, carrier capacity, seasonal patterns, regulatory changes — so that Mariana is never caught off guard by conditions we could have anticipated. When something like an international holiday or a port congestion event creates a rush on capacity, you will have flagged it in advance.
