Pricing is not a support function here. It’s a growth engine.
We’re building a smarter, more disciplined long-haul LTL network. That requires pricing leaders who can make fast, disciplined decisions rooted in math, market behavior, and operational reality; not legacy assumptions.
This role is for someone who wants to own how pricing decisions are made—not simply oversee a team processing requests.
You’ll lead a team of Pricing Engineers and raise the level of thinking behind every pricing decision. That means challenging assumptions, improving decision models, balancing competing variables, and ensuring pricing becomes a true competitive advantage.#
