Job description

Manchester (M24) | Hybrid Working | Up to £50,000

Are you a commercially minded analyst looking for a role where your work directly influences business decisions and growth?

We’re looking for a Pricing Analyst to join a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business where you’ll work closely with senior leadership, take ownership from day one, and play a key role in shaping the future of the pricing function.

This is not a traditional corporate analyst position. You’ll be joining a lean, ambitious team where initiative, commercial awareness, and problem-solving are valued just as highly as technical skills.

The Opportunity

As Pricing Analyst, you’ll help drive pricing strategy, identify commercial opportunities, improve reporting and processes, and provide insight that supports business growth. You’ll have significant exposure to leadership and the opportunity to make a visible impact across the organisation.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, thrives in a dynamic environment, and wants to progress quickly into a leadership position within pricing.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct pricing, conversion, and margin analysis
• Identify pricing anomalies, leakage, and commercial opportunities
• Develop reports, models, and analytical tools to support decision-making
• Work with complex and sometimes unstructured data sets
• Build and improve reporting processes and data structures
• Generate actionable insights that support commercial growth
• Collaborate closely with senior stakeholders and leadership
• Take ownership of projects and proactively recommend improvements

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2-3 years’ experience within Pricing, Commercial Analytics, Data Analytics, or a similar analytical role
• Practical SQL experience
• Exposure to Python and willingness to use it regularly
• Commercially aware with strong business acumen
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Experience working with imperfect, incomplete, or unstructured data
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ambitious, proactive, and eager to make an impact

We welcome applications from candidates with experience in:

• Commercial Analytics
• Retail or E-commerce Analytics
• Automotive, Travel, or Logistics Pricing
• Scale-up or high-growth businesses
• Big 4 or Top 10 consulting and analytics teams
• BI or Data Analytics roles with strong commercial exposure

This role offers a genuine opportunity to develop into a Pricing Manager and, longer term, Pricing Director position. You’ll gain direct exposure to senior leadership and have the chance to help shape the evolution of the pricing function as the business grows.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £50,000
• Hybrid working arrangement
• High visibility and direct access to senior leadership
• Significant ownership and autonomy
• Clear progression opportunities
• The chance to influence commercial strategy and business performance

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll do more than simply analyse data and reports and want to play a meaningful part in driving business growth, we’d love to hear from you.
