About The Position

Loop is a recognized leader in parcel audit and AI-powered logistics platforms, helping clients across industries gain full visibility into their shipping spend. With state-of-the-art technology and decades of deep domain expertise, Loop delivers unmatched insight into carrier billing accuracy and is now expanding its capabilities into proactive parcel contract intelligence and advisory services. Our newly established Parcel Contract Intelligence Division builds on Loop’s audit foundation to offer clients a true end-to-end parcel spend strategy: from auditing billing accuracy to rate modeling by service level, agreement structure review, proposal financial analysis, and expert advisory support to help clients achieve stronger contract outcomes.

The Parcel Contract Intelligence Consultant is a key member of Loop's newest and fastest-growing division. This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to clients with significant shipping volumes, delivering high-impact, white-glove consulting services focused on reducing parcel spend and maximizing contract value. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of deep carrier contract knowledge, data-driven analytical ability, and hands-on negotiation experience - someone who can translate complex rate structures into clear client savings, and who has the credibility, relationship building acumen, and expertise to serve as a trusted behind-the-scenes advisor guiding clients to stronger contract outcomes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in parcel contract negotiation, carrier pricing, or transportation procurement.
• Deep knowledge of UPS, FedEx, and regional carrier rate structures, surcharges, accessorials, and incentive programs.
• Proven track record of delivering measurable savings through carrier contract analysis, rate modeling, and financial impact assessment.
• Experience analyzing large shipping data sets and translating findings into actionable contract strategies.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; ability to distill complex analyses for both technical and executive audiences.
• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable managing multiple client engagements simultaneously.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience in a logistics consulting, parcel audit, or 3PL environment — or extensive experience working directly at FedEx, UPS, or a regional carrier.
• Familiarity with parcel audit platforms and shipping analytics tools.
• Negotiation experience with UPS, FedEx and/or regional carriers.
• Experience serving clients across multiple industries including eCommerce, retail, healthcare, or manufacturing.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

Responsibilities

• Model discount impact by service level using client shipment data to quantify the financial effect of proposed or existing carrier rate structures.
• Conduct minimum charge and revenue tier impact analysis ($ / %) to identify structural cost exposure within client agreements.
• Develop net cost models by service level based on historical shipment data to project the true cost impact of rate changes across a client’s shipping profile.
• Analyze GRI and term impact across client carrier agreements to assess how general rate increases and contract terms affect total parcel spend.
• Identify structural cost drivers within agreement terms — including accessorials, surcharge applicability, and incentive thresholds — and communicate findings clearly to client stakeholders.
• Apply market context and commercial best practices to frame client agreement reviews within current carrier pricing dynamics and industry norms.
• Develop financial rationale supporting modeled cost scenarios, translating analytical findings into clear, executive-ready narratives for client decision-making.
• Deliver ongoing market update summaries to keep clients informed of carrier pricing changes, surcharge trends, and commercial developments relevant to their agreements.
• Perform financial analysis of carrier proposals using client shipment data to assess the true impact of proposed rate structures across the client’s actual shipping mix.
• Develop projected savings and comparative cost models to support clients in evaluating carrier proposals with clarity and confidence.
• Conduct post-agreement financial validation to confirm that carrier invoicing reflects negotiated terms and that expected rate structures are being applied correctly.
• Perform variance analysis of realized financial impact versus projected outcomes, delivering clear summaries that close the loop on each client engagement.
• Monitor new or modified carrier surcharges and structural pricing changes on an ongoing basis, proactively alerting clients to cost impacts as they emerge.
• Analyze service mix and package characteristic impacts to help clients understand how changes in their own shipping profile affect total carrier costs over time.
• Deliver annual GRI financial impact modeling and trend analysis to support clients in planning for rate changes and evaluating their agreements on a recurring basis.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation including performance-based incentives tied to client savings outcomes.
• Remote-friendly culture with flexibility and a collaborative, high-performance team environment.
