Pricing Analyst

We’re looking for a Pricing Analyst who knows that behind every shipment, there’s a cost, a margin, and a story to tell.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in crafting smart, competitive pricing strategies by digging into numbers, collaborating with sales, and working directly with our carrier partners, both on calls and in person.
