Shape the Numbers. Drive the Strategy. Connect the World.
This is a standout opportunity for a commercially sharp, analytically minded professional to join a global logistics organisation as a Pricing Specialist — playing a pivotal role at the intersection of client relationships, market intelligence, and strategic pricing.
Our client is a well-established international freight forwarding business, part of a major global group, with a reputation for precision, innovation, and genuine investment in its people. They describe their environment as akin to "a university for logistics" — and they mean it.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be the engine behind competitive, accurate pricing — working across client platforms, supplier networks, and internal teams to ensure every quotation is timely, data-driven, and commercially sound.
Day-to-day, you’ll:
*Manage incoming client rate requests via online bidding platforms, responding with speed and accuracy

*Nurture supplier relationships to enhance service quality and competitive positioning
*Monitor shipping schedules and industry trends, keeping clients and internal teams well informed
*Negotiate effectively and communicate professionally across a diverse range of stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
*Strong numerical and analytical ability — you’re comfortable with data, trends, and pricing calculations
*Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and confidence across the wider MS Office suite
*Excellent written and spoken English
*The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
*Legal right to work in the United Kingdom
Highly Desirable:
*Minimum 3 years’ experience in logistics, freight forwarding, transportation, or a related field
*Additional language skills (a genuine bonus in this international environment)
*A background in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Accounting, Logistics, or Engineering
The right mindset matters more than a perfect CV — if you’re detail-oriented, proactive, client-focused, and thrive under pressure, we’d love to hear from you.
