Job description

About Us

At Halfords, our mission is to inspire and support a lifetime of motoring and cycling. As a specialist retailer, we lead the market through customer‑driven innovation and a distinct product range. We are dedicated to providing our customers with an integrated, unique, and convenient service experience, from e‑bike and electric vehicle servicing to on‑demand solutions. Our commitment is to foster customer loyalty by offering compelling reasons to keep coming back to our stores, ensuring a lifetime of motoring and cycling enjoyment.

The teams at our Support Centre work with every other area of our business, putting them at the heart of the action and playing a key role in our success and growth. Everyone brings their individual knowledge and experience to work every day, working as one team to keep things moving smoothly.

Halfords operates a Hybrid working policy, with this position based 3 days per week at our Support Centre in Redditch, West Midlands.

The Role

As a Product Pricing Manager within our Retail Commercial team, you will take ownership of pricing analysis and strategy across our full retail range, working across more than 50,000 SKUs and monitoring price positions that can shift daily. This is a highly analytical role situated at the intersection of data, commercial insight, and stakeholder influence, where your work will directly shape pricing decisions across every category in the business.

Day-to-day, you will be running SQL queries, analysing CPI movements, tracking the impact of price investments and promotions, and building and maintaining Power BI reporting that gives category heads and directors a clear, accurate picture of where we stand competitively. You will liaise regularly with stakeholders at all levels, so the ability to present data confidently, question assumptions, and land clear recommendations with senior audiences is just as important as the technical side.

This is a role with genuine variety and progression potential. You will collaborate with Data Science to develop new pricing tools, gain exposure to demand and dynamic pricing projects, and work within a team of five where your contribution will be visible and valued. If you have a solid pricing background, strong SQL and Power BI skills, and the commercial curiosity to turn complex data into decisions that have tangible results, this is a strong opportunity to develop within a business that is open to new ideas when the data backs them up.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and analyse competitive price positions across more than 50,000 SKUs on a daily basis, identifying movements and highlighting changes and implications to buyers and category teams
• Run SQL queries and ad hoc analysis to support pricing decisions, price investment activity, and promotional evaluation across all retail categories
• Analyse CPI movements and their commercial impact, producing clear, actionable insight for heads of category and director‑level stakeholders
• Build, adapt, and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting views that give the business accurate, real‑time visibility of pricing performance
• Collaborate with Data Science to develop new pricing tools and methodologies that improve analytical capability and support smarter commercial decisions
• Track pricing KPIs and evaluate the outcomes of strategic pricing changes, feeding insight back into continuous improvement and future planning
• Support cross‑functional alignment on pricing across trading, buying, digital, marketing, and finance teams, contributing to a consistent commercial approach

About You

• Proven pricing experience, ideally within retail or e‑commerce with a strong understanding of the variables that affect demand and price elasticity
• Proficient in SQL, with the ability to write and run queries independently to support ad hoc analysis and regular reporting
• Strong Power BI skills, with experience building, adapting, and maintaining dashboards and reporting views for senior stakeholders
• Advanced Excel skills including lookups, pivot tables, and working across multiple sheets with complex rules and parameters
• Comfortable working with large datasets at SKU level, with a sharp eye for spotting trends, anomalies, and opportunities within the numbers
• Confident presenting data and recommendations to senior stakeholders, with the ability to question assumptions and back up conclusions with evidence
• Driven and personable, a genuine team player who is enthusiastic about the work and not afraid to push for better ways of doing things

Reward & Benefits

• A fair and competitive salary evaluated against market data, annual discretionary bonus scheme, pension, life assurance, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays and enhanced family leave.
• Commitment and dedication to your ongoing personal and professional development. We help you to own and grow your potential so you can be at your best in your current role and to support your future career aspirations.
• We offer hybrid working with a blend of working in our Support Centre and from home.
• You will have access to a wealth of employee discounts across the Halfords suite of products and services.
• Wellbeing and inclusion are at the heart of our colleague experience. We offer resources and ongoing support to enhance your wellbeing at work and active Colleague Networks supporting inclusion initiatives across Halfords.

At Halfords we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for our colleagues. We’re an equal opportunities employer and proud to welcome applications from all backgrounds and embrace diversity within our one Halfords Family.
