Charger Logistics is hiring a Freight Pricing Analyst to support our growing US commercial operations. You'll own pricing end to end — from fast-turnaround spot quotes on key North American lanes through to contract rate structures and RFP responses. It's a role for someone who can price a load in ten minutes and model a year-long agreement in the same week, always with margin in view.
What You'll Do
- Spot Pricing
- Analyze and respond to spot freight quote requests across FTL and cross-border lanes (US, Canada, Mexico)
- Build competitive spot rates using market data, historical lane performance, and carrier cost inputs
- Collaborate with carrier sales and account management to align spot pricing with available capacity
- Track win/loss ratios on quoted lanes and contribute to ongoing pricing strategy improvements
- Contract Pricing and Bids
- Develop and maintain contract rate structures for customer freight agreements, including base rates, fuel surcharges, accessorials, and lane-specific pricing
- Partner with Sales and Carrier Sourcing to build pricing proposals for RFPs and bid responses
- Model the margin impact of proposed contract terms and flag deals falling outside target profitability thresholds
- Support renewal cycles by analyzing contract performance and preparing renegotiation recommendations
- Work with Legal and Finance on contract terms carrying pricing implications — fuel escalators, minimum volume commitments, accessorial schedules
- Analysis, Reporting and Governance
- Monitor margin performance across spot and contract business, surfacing trends to sales and operations leadership
- Track lane-level and account-level profitability over the life of a contract, recommending renegotiation when margins erode
- Maintain lane-level pricing benchmarks and rate cards in the TMS, Excel models, and pricing tools
- Conduct market benchmarking to validate pricing against spot and contract conditions
- Monitor contract compliance — ensuring invoiced rates match agreed terms — and resolve pricing discrepancies
- Support ad hoc pricing analysis and reporting requests
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, Economics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 2-3 years of experience in pricing, revenue management, or analytics — freight/logistics/3PL experience strongly preferred
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, modeling); SQL or BI tool experience (Power BI/Tableau) an asset
- Familiarity with TMS platforms (McLeod, Trimble, MercuryGate, etc.) and freight market data sources (DAT, SONAR)
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills with high attention to detail
- Ability to translate data into clear pricing recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
- Strong communication skills to support cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Carrier Sourcing, and Finance
Benefits
- Competitive Pay
- Career Growth
