Support Competitive Price Positioning Analyze internal and external data to set and maintain competitive price positioning, building the models and benchmarks the team relies on. Track and report on competitive price positioning, validating that the brand is executing against aligned benchmarks and flagging where it is not. Partner Cross-Functionally Own relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners on strategic pricing and analytics projects. Work autonomously with peers and share clear findings with the leadership team across Merchandising, Planning, Company Planning, Commerce & Experience, and Pricing Operations. Translate analytics into the "what" and the "so what" for business owners and finance partners. Identify opportunities for continuous process improvement and support cross-functional decision-making. Apply AI and Build the Function Apply and validate outputs from pricing agents, confirming data integrity and business logic before recommendations are finalized, and contribute to training and refining those agents. Simplify and automate repeatable processes, contributing to the tools and workflows the function will run on as it scales. Review and provide feedback on analyses from the analyst on the team, and collaborate with them on ad-hoc pricing projects. Experience & Qualifications Bachelor's degree required. Preferred emphasis on analytics, mathematics, business, supply chain, industrial engineering, finance, accounting, or economics. 6+ years of experience in pricing analytics, competitive intelligence, or a related field, with direct exposure to retail or consumer products pricing.

Leadership & Mindset Analytically exacting: you hold a high personal bar for accuracy, take ownership of your models and assumptions, and don't let outputs go forward until you're confident they're right. Commercially curious: you connect your analytical work to business outcomes (margin, revenue, promotional ROI, customer impact), and you develop recommendations that reflect that understanding, not just technical outputs. Clear and direct communicator: you can distill analytical complexity into plain, well-structured commercial framing that non-analytical partners can read and act on. AI-partnership mindset: you engage with agentic tools and pricing agents as a critical collaborator, fluent enough to use them effectively, rigorous enough to catch when they're wrong, and grounded in ethical and brand-aligned judgment.
