Role purpose

Own the development of pricing models behind HBDS commercial opportunities, translating customer requirements and operational assumptions into competitive, financially sound pricing recommendations. This role serves as a key pricing resource for RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, renewals, and other commercial opportunities, ensuring pricing decisions are supported by clearly documented assumptions, risks, benchmarks, and financial analysis.

Schedule: Monday - Friday 7am-4pm

Key accountabilities

• Own the pricing model and the recommended rate for HBDS commercial opportunities from intake through submission across the segment’s principal service offerings, including last-mile and dedicated fleet, facility and delivery-pad, and warehousing or cost-plus dedicated labor.

• Develop and validate the fully-loaded cost to serve for each opportunity, state the assumptions it rests on, and identify which of those assumptions the price is most sensitive to.

• Deliver a decision-ready price range rather than a single quote, with the margin outcome shown at each level, so leadership can approve, trade, or decline on the facts.

• Benchmark every opportunity against comparable markets already in operation, on both the buy and the sell side, and account for any variance on specific local cost drivers.

• Protect margin through deal structure as well as rate: escalators, fuel surcharge mechanics, minimum-charge and volume protection, and accessorial coverage, quantified over the life of the contract.

• Surface and close pricing risk before submission by challenging what the customer’s request leaves undefined, and by quantifying what changes if an assumption proves wrong.

• Prepare the pricing recommendation and approval package for leadership, and support live customer negotiations with scenario analysis and rapid re-modeling.

• Keep pricing work auditable and current: models filed in the pricing system of record, approvals routed through the applicable authority thresholds, and operating data validated before it is used as a pricing input.

• Close the loop after award by comparing actual performance to the model, explaining the variance, and feeding it back into the next bid or into a repricing case.

Key interfaces

• Commercial / Sales: opportunity intake, customer requirements, negotiation support, submission deadlines.

• MGF Pricing: methodology alignment, system of record, model review, approval routing.

• Operations: route design assumptions, staffing and productivity inputs, feasibility of what is being priced.

• Procurement: buy-side rates, carrier and contractor cost benchmarks, rate governance boundaries.

• Finance / FP&A: margin targets, SG&A allocation, contract value validation, budget and forecast alignment.

• Solution Design / Engineering: facility layout, equipment, and labor models on warehousing and facility deals.

• Legal / Contracts: rate exhibits, escalator and fuel language, minimum-charge and liability terms.

Qualifications (required)

• 4+ years of experience in pricing, cost analysis, financial analysis, or solution design, or related field, preferably within transportation, last-mile delivery, warehousing, or supply chain services.

• Demonstrated ability to build a cost models, evaluate assumptions, and clearly communicate and support pricing recommendations.

• Advanced Excel skills, including financial modeling, sensitivity and breakeven analysis, and analysis of large data sets.

• Experience analyzing operational data and translating it into unit-cost and pricing considerations. Ability to manage multiple concurrent bids under deadline pressure, including short-turn requests, while maintaining accuracy. Stong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate financial analysis into actionable recommendations for non-financial stakeholders. Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, supply chain, industrial engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Qualifications (preferred)

• Direct experience pricing last-mile, final-mile, or heavy and bulky home delivery.

• Familiarity with contractor and owner-operator cost structures, driver pay models, and the burden and insurance components behind them.

• Experience with facility or real-estate cost builds (rent, opex, build-out capex amortization) and with cost-plus dedicated labor pricing.

• Working knowledge of a transportation management system (Oracle OTM or similar), and comfort pulling and validating data from it.

• Experience with fuel surcharge program design and contract escalator mechanics.

• Exposure to post-award margin management, cost recovery, or contract repricing.

• Salesforce or comparable CRM, Power BI or Tableau, and SharePoint-based document governance.

Core competencies

• Commercial judgment: understands the difference between winning a deal and buying revenue, and can say so with the math attached.

• Constructive challenge: treats an incomplete or ambiguous request as an opportunity to remove risk from the price rather than a reason to assume.

• Cross-functional influence: secures inputs from Operations, Procurement, and Finance without relying on hierarchy, and closes the loop on what was promised.
