Contract Pricing Analyst

Charger Logistics is a world class asset-based carrier. We specialize in delivering assets, on time and on budget. With the diverse fleet of equipment, we can handle a range of freight, including dedicated loads, specialized hauls, temperature-controlled goods and HAZMAT cargo.

Charger logistics invests time and support into its employees to provide them with the room to learn and grow their expertise and work their way up. We are entrepreneurial-minded organization that welcomes and support individual idea and strategies. We are currently expanding and looking to add a motivated individual to our team. The Contract Pricing Analyst is responsible for developing, analyzing, and maintaining pricing structures for customer and carrier contracts. This role bridges sales, carrier sourcing, and finance by ensuring pricing accuracy, competitiveness, and profitability across long-term freight agreements, while supporting negotiation strategy with data-driven insight.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain contract rate structures for customer freight agreements, including base rates, fuel surcharges, accessorials, and lane-specific pricing
• Analyze historical freight data, market rate trends, and carrier costs to recommend competitive and profitable pricing
• Partner with Sales and Carrier Sourcing teams to build pricing proposals for RFPs (Requests for Proposal) and bid responses
• Model margin impact of proposed contract terms and flag deals falling outside target profitability thresholds
• Monitor contract compliance — ensuring invoiced rates match agreed contract terms — and resolve pricing discrepancies
• Track lane-level and account-level profitability over the life of a contract, recommending renegotiation when margins erode
• Maintain pricing databases/tools (TMS, Excel models, or pricing software) with up-to-date rate cards
• Conduct market benchmarking (e.g., DAT, Freightwaves SONAR) to validate pricing against spot and contract market conditions
• Support renewal cycles by analyzing contract performance and preparing renewal/renegotiation recommendations
• Collaborate with Legal/HR/Finance on contract terms that carry pricing implications (fuel escalators, minimum volume commitments, accessorial schedules)

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

Distinguishing from Adjacent Roles

• vs. Spot Pricing Analyst: Contract Pricing Analyst focuses on longer-term, negotiated customer contracts rather than day-to-day/transactional spot market rates
• vs. Carrier Sourcing: Contract Pricing Analyst is customer/revenue-facing (what we charge), while Carrier Sourcing is supply-facing (what we pay carriers)
• vs. Carrier Sales Rep: Contract Pricing Analyst is analytical/back-office, supporting the reps and account managers who own the relationship

Benefits

• Competitive Pay
• Career Growth
