Job summary

Arrive Logistics is seeking a Partial Pricing Specialist to own customer bids for PTL, refrigerated LTL, and expedite/specialized lanes. You will transform lane data and market intelligence into competitive rates while partnering with Business Development to win the right freight at the right margin.

The role requires an analytical mind, strong work ethic, and curiosity about how freight moves, with cross-department collaboration and daily bid execution across multiple opportunities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 2–3+ years in freight, logistics, or pricing; RFP or bid experience strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of specialized services.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, large datasets, bid templates).
• Ability to manage several bids at once and hit hard deadlines.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented approach and clear communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Partner with BizDev at intake to confirm scope, timelines, service requirements, and customer strategy before pricing begins.
• Review shipment data to determine lanes fit for PTL, refrigerated LTL, or expedite, and flag freight better served by another mode.
• Field questions on expected volume, lane pricing, dedicated or committed capacity, and facility or warehouse constraints.
• Build accurate internal pricing files using historical Arrive data, third-party market data, and carrier feedback.
• Set equipment and capacity assumptions by lane (truck type, space used, transit, team vs. solo) consistent with the customer and lane profile.
• Apply margin to all costs with direction from the strategy team, executing the predetermined customer strategy.
• Collaborate with carrier sales and mode-specific teams to validate capacity and cost on hard-to-cover or specialized lanes.
• Format pricing accurately into customer bid templates; own quality control, submission, and storage for every assigned RFP.
• Deliver every assigned RFP complete and on time.
• Give BizDev and RFP stakeholders a clear summary of each bid so they can tell a strong story to the customer.
• Gather and record award results and customer feedback after each submission, and use it to sharpen future pricing.
• Recommend improvements to tools, templates, and processes that make Partial pricing faster and more accurate.
• Stay flexible as processes, markets, and priorities change.
