Airspace Driver Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Global Head of Pricing leads Airspace's pricing function, owning the models, processes, and governance frameworks that drive margin optimization across all service lines and geographies. This role is responsible for

1. Building and maintaining pricing structures against well-defined cost inputs
2. Reviewing new customer margin performance against model expectations
3. Ensuring pricing accuracy through close partnership with Yield Management Rate Administration and Close-Out functions
4. Developing actionable strategies to drive margin improvement over time by identifying opportunities for operational improvements, cost-savings, and/or price increases.

Reporting to the EVP of Pricing & Procurement, the Global Head of Pricing operates cross-functionally with Commercial, Operations, Finance, and Product teams. The role carries a dual mandate: maintain analytical rigor in pricing model development while serving as a practical business partner who ensures pricing decisions translate into accurate, executable outcomes.

This is not a greenfield build. Airspace has invested significantly in pricing and cost infrastructure, including profitability databases, cost reconciliation pipelines, and invoice validation systems. The Global Head of Pricing will inherit these systems and is expected to operate, refine, and extend them while identifying opportunities to improve margin and pricing accuracy at scale.

This role is ideal for a leader looking for a platform to showcase their talent, someone who can reimagine ways of working, establish new processes, and engage cross-functional teams across both Domestic US and International markets. Every deal at Airspace flows through the pricing function, giving this role direct impact on 100% of the customer base. At the same time, this is a hands-on position: the Global Head of Pricing will build out the financial metrics underpinning pricing models, partner with Operations and the Commercial organization to optimize business performance post-award, and identify opportunities for profit enhancement beyond the modeled expectations.

Pricing Model Ownership

• Build and maintain margin estimation models across service lines and geographies, ensuring they accurately predict profitability at the shipment, lane, and account level.
• Calibrate models against actual margin performance on a regular cadence, updating inputs and structural assumptions as the business evolves.
• Execute market research for new service types and geographies to develop pricing frameworks as Airspace expands into new markets.
• Drive medium-term (6–12 month) margin improvement initiatives with accurate sizing of opportunity at the account level.

Cost Governance & Structured Cost Inputs

• Partner with Operations and Finance to catalog current cost expectations across service lines, with as much granularity as possible, as structured inputs for pricing models.
• Drive cross-functional initiatives and governance processes to formalize cost expectations across driver, airline, and vendor cost categories.
• Identify the highest-impact opportunities for cost improvement and partner with operational leadership to create initiatives that address them.

Go/No-Go Recommendation Processes

• Build and manage Go/No-Go recommendation processes in partnership with the Commercial team for new logos and expansion opportunities.
• Evaluate expected implementation requirements against Airspace's operational expertise and service capabilities to identify potential execution risks before deals are committed.
• Establish safeguarded discounting methodologies and approval workflows that protect margin while supporting Commercial velocity.
• Ensure that pricing improvement initiatives and annual rate increases are accurately incorporated into revenue forecasts in coordination with Revenue Operations.

Margin Performance Review

• Own the review of margin performance as aligned to pricing model expectations at a regular cadence.
• Identify gaps between modeled and actual margin, diagnose root causes, and update model structures or inputs accordingly.
• Surface operational changes that could improve margin and partner with relevant stakeholders to drive execution.

Billing Accuracy & Revenue Assurance

• Partner with Yield Management Rate Administration and Close-Out functions to ensure all clients are billed with precision against contracted rates and pricing structures.
• Establish KPIs for billing accuracy and build exception reporting to identify and resolve discrepancies.
• Support the development of well-governed processes that connect pricing decisions to downstream billing execution.

Procurement Support

• Support vendor cost benchmarking, rate analysis, and contract rate management as inputs to the broader pricing function.
• Partner with Procurement leadership on cost-side data and analysis that informs vendor negotiations and rate structures.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Automation

• Partner closely with Analytics and technical teams to identify and implement scalable automated processes wherever possible.
• Extend in-product pricing capabilities in coordination with Product teams.

Experience Profile

• Direct experience owning pricing processes in a transactional logistics or high-frequency B2B services environment.
• Strong analytical foundation with demonstrated proficiency in data tools (Excel/Sheets, SQL, Python, or BI platforms).
• Proven ability to build and operationalize processes end-to-end—from design through cross-functional implementation.
• Experience partnering with C-suite and senior leadership as a trusted thought partner on pricing and margin strategy.
• Comfort operating in existing systems and infrastructure, with a bias toward improving and extending what exists rather than rebuilding.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and coordination skills—this role succeeds through influence, not authority.
• Deep understanding of time-critical logistics, B2B operations, and margin economics.
• Humble, service-oriented leadership style with a bias toward action and ownership.
• MBA or equivalent experience preferred; STEM background a plus given close partnership with technical functions.

• Salary range: $165K - $185K annual salary with a bonus opportunity
