Develops pricing strategies, financial models, business cases, scenario analyses, dashboards, and executive recommendations. Evaluates acquisition and base pricing, fees, promotions, elasticity, customer behavior, competitive positioning, and alternative pricing models. Partners with Product, Marketing, Finance, Sales, and Analytics teams to support pricing tests and strategic initiatives. The role is remote within U.S. time zones and planned for approximately 12 months, with possible extension.
The Pricing Strategy Analyst is part of the Pricing Center of Excellence and supports core pricing strategy across the company’s product portfolio. The role focuses on acquisition and base pricing, annual price increases, fee changes, alternative pricing models, and the development of business cases used to evaluate pricing options and financial impact.
The ideal candidate brings strong financial acumen, analytical capability, structured problem solving, and comfort working through ambiguity. Direct pricing experience is helpful but not mandatory; candidates with strong strategy and financial analytics backgrounds are encouraged. Advanced Excel, financial modeling, and PowerPoint are more important than SQL, Python, Power BI, or Tableau, which are differentiators rather than core requirements.
