Responsibilities

• Execute Pricing Analytics and Data Preparation
• Prepare and maintain pricing and promotional data for assigned brand work streams—pulling, cleaning, and organizing retail data sets so they are accurate, complete, and ready for analysis and modeling.
• Run pricing models and scenario analyses under the direction of the Manager—applying elasticity inputs, sensitivity parameters, and promotional variables to generate outputs that are accurate, well‑structured, and ready for review.
• Apply and quality‑check outputs from pricing agents across assigned categories—validating data inputs, flagging anomalies or inconsistencies, and ensuring outputs are accurate before they move forward in the analytical workflow.
• Support in‑season monitoring of pricing actions for assigned workstreams—tracking performance against plan, flagging variances, and surfacing data that helps the team identify risks or optimization opportunities quickly.
• Use AI reporting tools and pricing platforms as a daily analytical tool—interrogating outputs with a critical eye, maintaining data integrity, and escalating to the Manager when outputs require additional human review before informing a decision.
• Support Analysis and Reporting
• Assemble analytical work into clean, well‑organized supporting materials—building the data packages, tables, and summaries that the manager brings to business reviews and stakeholder discussions.
• Prepare data pulls, performance summaries, and analytical inputs for weekly and monthly business reviews—ensuring pricing performance across assigned categories is accurately captured and clearly organized for the team to build on.
• Develop the ability to translate analytical outputs into plain commercial framing—connecting what the data shows to what it means for margin, revenue, or promotional performance, and communicating that clearly in deliverables.
• Respond to analytical requests from the pricing team with accuracy and care, building a track record as someone who can be counted on to deliver clean, well‑organized work on time.
• Contribute to Building the Pricing Function
• Contribute to the ongoing training and refinement of the brands pricing agents—documenting instances where outputs fall short, noting patterns in errors or gaps, and sharing observations with the team to improve model performance over time.
• Help build shared documentation and analytical standards for the team—capturing what good looks like in data preparation, output validation, and model quality review so that practices are consistent and repeatable as the function grows.
• Bring a curious, builders mindset to a function that is being created from scratch—asking questions, trying new approaches, and actively contributing ideas about how this teams analytical processes can work better as it scales.
