Job Purpose

The Pricing Manager is responsible for the pricing strategies for all CEER vehicles. He/she is the voice of the customer when it comes to assessing the price competitiveness of our products, both vehicles and options.

• Articulate price positioning principles for each CEER vehicle in its segment, based on unique value proposition, direct competitors, and market share ambition.
• Continuously monitor price movements and industry evolution data for CEER and key competitors, formulating recommendations when deviations from strategic positioning occur.
• Interact with vendors contracted by CEER to provide pricing market data.
• Actively support preparation and approval of business plan updates (normally once a year, but ad‑hoc requests can occur at any time).
• Guard the customer value table and all retail prices of CEER vehicles and options; maintain PVA (price value analysis) of CEER vehicles vs. competitors (ICE and BEV).
• Develop grade‑walk proposals that motivate customers to upgrade their purchase.
• Monitor major new vehicle launches, their price positioning, and results.
• Support product managers when evaluating customer value for features and providing expert views on customer willingness to pay.
• Support the Product Marketing Director with the preparation of pricing or industry materials presented at relevant product events.

• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, sustainability of systems, processes, and practices, achieving productivity improvements and cost reduction.
• Ensure all section reports are prepared timely and accurately, meeting CEER’s requirements, policies, and quality standards.
• Maintain confidentiality of information within or outside CEER.
• Ensure adherence to health, safety, security, and environmental policies and standards across all business functions under the department.
