Overview The Senior Specialist, Rate Administration position owns the integrity of the connection between all Airspace shipments and the system generated expenses and revenue. This role ensures that the system-generated rates applied to every customer and every supplier are accurate, current, and fully aligned to their governing rate cards. Because system rates flow into every order Airspace touches, this is a high-leverage role within the organization: a single misaligned rate can ripple across thousands of transactions, while disciplined administration protects margin, billing accuracy, and supplier trust at scale.

They are also a recognized pathway into pricing. The person in this seat develops a deep, working understanding of how rates are structured, how systems translate rate cards into live pricing, and how pricing decisions affect commercial and financial outcomes — the exact foundation needed to grow into a Pricing Analyst and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

What Makes Someone Successful in this Role

• Exceptional attention to detail. This role rewards people who notice the one cell, one rule, or one decimal that's off. Precision is the job.

• Demonstrated high attention to detail in a role where accuracy directly affected outcomes.
• Strong skills with spreadsheets and data tools (Excel / Google Sheets); comfort working with large datasets and reconciling sources.
• Proven problem-solving ability and a track record of learning systems quickly.

Preferred

• Experience administering rates, pricing, billing, or contract data within an ERP, TMS, rating engine, or comparable system.
