SUMMARY:
Pricing is either a growth lever or a silent killer. A fast-growing logistics platform is looking for a Pricing Specialist who understands delivery economics and knows how to protect margins without killing volume. If you’ve priced routes, deliveries, fuel surcharges or logistics contracts before, this role is built for you.

POSITION INFO:
Our client is a tech-enabled logistics business operating in the on-demand, same-day and scheduled delivery space. As the organisation scales across regions, pricing accuracy and commercial discipline are critical to sustainable growth.

This role sits at the core of the commercial function. You will be responsible for building and maintaining pricing models that reflect real delivery costs, not assumptions. Working closely with operations, sales and finance, you will ensure that pricing decisions support growth while protecting profitability.

This is a highly analytical role suited to someone who understands how small pricing decisions can have massive downstream impact in high-volume logistics environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Build and maintain pricing models for same-day, on-demand, scheduled and bulk deliveries
Structure pricing based on distance, zones, vehicle type, urgency, time of day and demand
Analyse cost drivers, including fuel, driver payouts, fleet utilisation and failed deliveries
Monitor gross margin per delivery, per client and per service line
Identify loss-making routes, clients or pricing rules before margins erode
Support sales with client-specific pricing, volume discounts, SLAs and contract proposals
Review existing client pricing and recommend repricing where margins are under pressure
Work closely with operations to understand true delivery costs
Partner with finance on margin reporting and forecasting

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Education:
- Matric (essential)
Experience:
- 3–4 years’ experience in pricing, commercial analytics or revenue management
- Proven exposure to logistics, road freight, last-mile delivery or courier environments
- Experience working with pricing structures, cost breakdowns and margin analysis
- Background within logistics carriers or transport environments is highly advantageous
Skills:
- Strong Excel skills (advanced formulas, analysis and pricing models)
- Solid Microsoft Office proficiency
- Strong numerical and analytical capability
Non-negotiables:
- Commercially confident and comfortable challenging assumptions
- Able to say no when pricing is commercially unsound
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume logistics environment
