As the analytics go-to for pricing strategy, you'll build scalable self-serve reporting, design measurement approaches, and drive recommendations on pricing rules, guardrails, and strategic direction. This is a high-visibility role. As AI accelerates the pace of our work, you'll help shape what's next for pricing analytics — bridging what our Pricing Science team provides with what Category Pricing and Merchandising teams need, and leveraging emerging AI capabilities to accelerate time-to-insight.

Experience building scalable dashboards and self-serve reporting that drive adoption

A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing pricing performance data, spotting a widening price gap to a key competitor.

After lunch, you present quarterly pricing insights to a Director-level audience, turning feedback into action items. You close the day exploring an AI-powered workflow that could halve your analysis time and mentoring a fellow analyst on framing a pricing opportunity for leadership.
