Lead pricing workshops on pricing methodologies to build organisation-wide pricing capability.Â

What you bring:

Minimum 5 to 10 years in pricing strategy, category management, merchandising, revenue management or a data-heavy commercial role.
Experience in configuring pricing tools, sales forecasting, margin management and profitability analysis.
An analytical mindset (you love interpreting complex datasets).
Strong understanding of pricing logic, elasticity, modelling and market trends.
Advanced Excel, SQL and BI proficiency (Power BI/Tableau).
Proficiency in SAP and data modelling.
Ability to build, test and optimise pricing algorithms and frameworks.Â
