Leveraging advanced analytics, you will uncover opportunities and blind spots, transforming quantitative insights into actionable business decisions. You will contribute to the continuous enhancement of strategic pricing tools to improve efficiency, accuracy and scalability of the pricing process.

Pricing Model Innovation & Cross-Functional Partnership

You will contribute to the evolution of pricing models, fare structures, clusters, tools, and data flows, helping the business better capture customer needs and willingness to pay. Partnering with Sales, Marketing, Revenue Management, Product, and Customer Offer Design, you will ensure consistency between pricing strategy, customer value proposition, and commercial execution across markets and channels.

What Makes You Unique

• 5+ years of experience in pricing, revenue management, commercial strategy, or advanced business analytics roles, ideally gained within international and fast-paced business environments
• A Master’s degree in Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Management Engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
• Strong analytical capabilities and commercial awareness, with the ability to transform complex data into clear business recommendations.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; knowledge of Power BI is a strong plus.
• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence senior audiences and collaborate across functions.
