Parcel Contract Intelligence Consultant

About Loop

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.

Role Overview

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.

Key Responsibilities
Rate Modeling by Service Level
• 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.
Agreement Structure Review
• 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.
Market & Commercial Analysis
• 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.
Proposal Financial Analysis
• 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.
Validation Review
• 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.
Ongoing Cost Monitoring
• 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.

and financial impact assessment.
