What will you do?
We're hiring a Software Development Manager to lead our Pricing tech team. will be responsible for leading three pivotal products, each addressing a crucial aspect of our pricing ecosystem:
Strategic Cost Modeling & Simulation Platform:
This platform will have the capability to accurately predict costs 1-3 years into the future, a foundational element for pricing long-term contracts. We will develop innovative approaches to validate long-term predictions, provide risk assessments, and enable rapid simulations of cost impacts from changes in shipper profiles or network configurations. This team's work will directly impact our ability to price contracts profitably and manage long-term risk.
Pricing Recommendation Engine & Negotiation Tools:
Focused on empowering our sales team, we will develop data-driven pricing recommendations for the contract market. We will create a system that considers multiple factors including shipper profiles, willingness to pay, and network costs. Crucially, we will also build a control panel allowing leadership to set and adjust pricing guardrails dynamically, ensuring our pricing strategies can be quickly adapted to changing market conditions.
Capacity-Aware Dynamic Pricing System:
We need to tackle the challenge of real-time pricing in our spot market. By integrating with our capacity models and demand forecasts, we will build a system that optimizes pricing to maximize network utilization and profitability. This capability is essential for competing effectively in the fast-paced spot market while maintaining our profit targets.
