• Provide pricing insights and recommendations to Sales, Finance, and leadership.

Pricing Analytics and Margin Improvement

• Analyze price realization, discount leakage, product mix, customer profitability, and promotional effectiveness.
• Support measurable improvement in margin and revenue through disciplined pricing actions.

Cross-Functional Partnership.

• Partner with Sales to translate pricing strategy into practical price lists, customer programs, and negotiation guidance.
• Collaborate with Finance, Operations, Marketing, and Product/Category teams on pricing decisions tied to cost, inventory, capacity, product lifecycle, and customer programs.
• Train and support internal teams on pricing principles, tools, guidelines, and processes.

Process and Capability Building.

• Improve pricing tools and templates, evolving from spreadsheet-based processes toward stronger reporting and system-supported tools over time.
• Create a practical roadmap for pricing capability, including process improvements, data needs, reporting, and future support requirements.
• Establish and monitor pricing KPIs such as margin impact, price realization, discount compliance, and promotion return.

Required Experience and Background

• 4-6+ years of experience in pricing, revenue management, commercial finance, finance analytics, or a closely related role.
• 3-5+ years of experience in a B2B or B2B2C environment preferred, such as manufacturing, CPG, distribution, agriculture, horticulture, or wholesale.
• Experience designing or improving pricing strategies, pricing governance, customer segmentation, discount structures, or margin improvement processes.
• Strong experience using data and analytics to improve margin, revenue, profitability, discount discipline, or promotional effectiveness.
• Experience working in an environment where pricing tools, processes, or data are still developing is strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Statistics, Data Analytics, or a related field required. MBA or relevant certification preferred but not required.
