Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, Economics, or related field.

• Partner with Sales and Carrier Sourcing teams to build pricing proposals for RFPs and bid responses.
• Model margin impact of proposed contract terms and flag deals falling outside target profitability thresholds.
• Monitor contract compliance — ensuring invoiced rates match agreed contract terms — and resolve pricing discrepancies.
• Track lane-level and account-level profitability over the life of a contract, recommending renegotiation when margins erode.
• Maintain pricing databases/tools (TMS, Excel models, or pricing software) with up-to-date rate cards.
• Conduct market benchmarking (e.g., DAT, Freightwaves SONAR) to validate pricing against spot and contract market conditions.
• Support renewal cycles by analyzing contract performance and preparing renewal/renegotiation recommendations.
