Head of Pricing

Location:Greater Manchester / Hybrid working

Job Type: Contract, Full-Time hours

Salary: £750 - £800 per day via Umbrella

A senior pricing opportunity where your decisions genuinely move the numbers.

We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Head of Pricing to take ownership of the pricing strategy for a high-volume consumer business operating within the travel and transport sector.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t just analyse pricing — you shape it.

You’ll own the strategic pricing agenda across a complex, high-volume product portfolio, using demand, capacity, competitor and customer signals to make fast, commercially intelligent decisions.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and lead the overall pricing strategy, including rate architecture, lead-time curves, seasonality and discount discipline.

• Turn booking pace, demand and market intelligence into decisive pricing action.

• Own pricing-led revenue inputs into annual budgets, forecasts and longer-term financial plans.

• Drive revenue, yield and EBITDA performance, balancing volume with margin.

• Lead a robust test-and-learn agenda across price points, floor prices, lead times and product mix.

• Provide senior-level performance insight and commercial commentary, clearly articulating risks, opportunities and recommended actions.

• Lead and develop a small revenue management team while working closely with Marketing, E-commerce, Performance Marketing and other commercial stakeholders.

• Act as the senior voice for pricing and trading, influencing commercial strategy at leadership level.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced revenue management or pricing professional with a strong commercial instinct and a track record of delivering growth.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A strong background in travel, transport, hospitality or another dynamic consumer sector.

• Proven success in creating and executing pricing strategies that deliver revenue and yield growth.

• Experience owning or contributing to annual budgeting and longer-term financial planning.

• Strong analytical capability and confidence working with large datasets, Excel, BI and revenue management/pricing platforms.

• The ability to turn complex data into clear commercial decisions.

• A rigorous test-and-learn mindset.

• The confidence to challenge assumptions, make difficult pricing calls and operate effectively under senior scrutiny.

• Experience leading people and influencing across a matrixed commercial environment.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of pricing strategy in a commercially significant business.

You’ll have the autonomy to shape pricing decisions, influence senior stakeholders and build a modern revenue management approach — with a clear connection between your decisions and the bottom line.

If you’re a strategic pricing leader who thrives in a fast-moving environment and wants a role where commercial judgement matters, we’d love to hear from you.
