Job description

Drive smarter pricing through data, automation, and commercial innovation.

Your mission

As our new Senior Pricing Optimisation Manager, your mission is to own the performance and continuous evolution of our pricing engine, translating commercial strategy into scalable pricing logic that drives revenue, margin, and sustainable growth. Working in partnership with pricing platform providers, you'll use data, experimentation, and automation to reduce manual intervention, embed continuous learning into the pricing engine, and deliver commercially accountable optimisation at scale. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping how we make pricing decisions - building scalable capabilities that balance commercial performance with operational efficiency while creating long-term value for the business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own end-to-end pricing performance across revenue, margin, and growth objectives.
• Translate commercial strategy into clear pricing rules, parameters, and scalable pricing logic.
• Lead the governance, performance, and continuous optimisation of the pricing engine.
• Design and execute structured pricing experiments to validate hypotheses and improve commercial outcomes.
• Analyse pricing performance, demand signals, and model outputs to identify opportunities and resolve root causes.
• Convert one-off pricing interventions into repeatable, automated rules that improve scalability and consistency.
• Strengthen automation across pricing processes, reducing reliance on manual work and spreadsheets.
• Partner closely with pricing platform providers to enhance pricing capabilities and system performance.
• Ensure pricing logic remains scalable, stable, and aligned with commercial priorities.
• Support key trading periods while maintaining disciplined pricing governance and protecting core pricing logic.
• Communicate pricing strategies and decisions clearly to Commercial, Marketing, Data, and Technology stakeholders.
• Embed learnings from testing and performance analysis back into the pricing engine to drive continuous improvement.

Who We're Looking For

You'll thrive in this role if you're a commercially minded problem solver who enjoys combining data, technology, and strategic thinking to deliver measurable business outcomes. You're naturally curious, embrace experimentation, and are motivated by creating scalable solutions rather than short-term fixes.

We're Looking For Someone Who Brings

• Proven experience owning or significantly influencing pricing performance with accountability for revenue and margin outcomes.
• A strong track record of translating commercial strategy into pricing rules, system logic, or optimisation frameworks.
• Experience working with pricing engines, automated pricing platforms, or revenue optimisation tools.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret performance data, demand signals, and model outputs to drive decisions.
• Experience designing structured pricing experiments and embedding learnings into scalable system improvements.
• Hands-on experience increasing automation while reducing manual intervention in pricing processes.
• The ability to make balanced commercial decisions under uncertainty, weighing risk against opportunity.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging senior leaders across Commercial, Marketing, Data, and Technology teams.
• A collaborative, proactive, and disciplined approach to system governance and continuous improvement.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience working with Beyond or similar dynamic pricing platforms.
• Experience within travel, hospitality, e-commerce, or another highly dynamic pricing environment.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Drive sustainable improvements in revenue, profitability, and pricing effectiveness.
• Build a scalable, automated pricing capability that reduces manual intervention and increases operational efficiency.
• Improve pricing engine performance through continuous experimentation, testing, and data-driven optimisation.
• Strengthen pricing governance while ensuring commercial agility during key trading events.
• Increase confidence in automated pricing through robust processes, transparency, and measurable results.
• Partner across Commercial, Marketing, Data, and Technology teams to influence strategic pricing decisions.
• Create lasting commercial value by embedding continuous learning into pricing systems and optimisation processes.
