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 Journey and Impact

Since 2015, Locus has been on a mission to make logistics decision-making intelligent, sustainable, and real-world ready. 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.

Our Global Footprint

Headquartered in Bangalore, with teams across the U.S., U.K., UAE, and Southeast Asia, Locus brings together 170 + engineers, designers, and problem-solvers united by a single goal: to reinvent how the world moves goods.

  Unrelenting in drive: energized by complex challenges.

Role Overview

We are seeking a proactive Junior Business Analyst to join our team, whose primary mission is to be a free-roaming data explorer and insight hunter. This role is designed for someone who is not satisfied with answering simple questions but is driven to ask and answer the right questions hidden within our client data. The successful candidate will leverage technical skills in SQL, Python, and Databricks to transform raw data into high-impact, business-shaping discoveries, moving us from reactive analysis to proactive intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

• Actively and independently explore and mine vast client datasets to identify hidden patterns, trends, correlations, and anomalies that drive new business opportunities or operational efficiencies.
• Utilize the Databricks platform (or similar distributed computing environments) to build, optimize, and maintain basic data pipelines and foundational analytical models for discovery purposes.
• Translate complex quantitative findings into clear, actionable, and compelling narratives and visualizations for business stakeholders, presenting insights rather than just data.
• Proactively map the organization's current data landscape, identifying data quality issues, and suggesting new data points or instrumentation needed to answer future unknown questions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A highly curious, self-directed professional with a quantitative background (1-3 years of experience) who thrives in an unstructured, discovery-focused environment.
• Proficient in SQL and Python for data analysis and comfortable with visualization tools to communicate complex findings effectively.
• Must have foundational experience or strong familiarity with cloud data platforms, specifically Databricks (or Spark/cloud ETL tools), for data processing and model prototyping.
• A strong communicator who can navigate business objectives and technical constraints, possessing the entrepreneurial mindset to "hunt" for value without explicit direction.
