About this role
What You'll Do
- Partner with BizDev at intake to confirm scope, timelines, service requirements, and customer strategy before pricing begins.
- Review shipment data (pallet counts, linear feet, weight, dimensions, temperature requirements, accessorials) to determine which lanes fit 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.
