The mix shifts with the launch calendar: heavier on data and analysis early in a cycle, heavier on execution and validation as submission dates approach.1. Data extraction and analysisPull pricing and region information from internal repositories using SQL and KQL, then run ad-hoc analysis in Excel using (VLOOKUP/ XLOOKUP/ Pivots) to surface the insight that enables a pricing or launch action. The contractor is expected to build the analysis themselves rather than wait on engineering support.2. Pricing execution (LRT creation and MLC triage)Once a pricing action is decided, the contractor converts it into the required artifacts and drives the item through the process to submission. This is the highest-volume part of the role.• Translate the approved pricing intent into the required analytic format through LRT creation, checking the inputs before they go forward.• Create MLC cards, complete the required fields, and drive each item through the MLC and MLC 2.0 process.• Manage change requests through execution, tracking status and chasing the dependencies that hold an item up.3. ValidationValidation is where errors get caught before they reach the market, and it carries the most quality risk in the role. The contractor validates the Partner Center change summary, the output of a pricing action, against the original pricing intent and our established pricing principles.• Run the validation tool and reconcile the change summary against the original intent.• Triage the errors Partner Center throws, identify the underlying cause, and correct the input rather than working around the symptom.• Confirm that changes flow through correctly, with no regression to existing prices, offers or regions.4. Project and launch managementTrack progress against milestones and dependencies, follow up on blockers and missing inputs, keep execution artifacts current (MLC records, LRTs, tracking tools, status reports), and coordinate with Engineering, Business Planners and downstream teams to clarify launch intent and confirm readiness for submission. Risks are raised early with a proposed mitigation, not once a date has slipped.Operating rhythm - The week is shaped by the region launch calendar.• Daily: Attend daily scrums, triage incoming requests and Partner Center errors, progress active LRTs and MLC cards, and work down the validation queue.• Weekly: launch reviews and sync points with Business Planners and Launch Leader teams, plus tracker and status reporting updates.• Milestone-driven: concentrated execution and validation pushes ahead of submission and launch dates.Everforth Apex is a world-class IT services company that serves thousands of clients across the globe.
