We are looking for a Senior Pricing & Profitability Analyst within our Pricing function to play a pivotal role in building Cerba Research's pricing capability, providing the analytical backbone that drives commercial performance across our global portfolio.

• Global Scope – You'll work across a multi-regional portfolio, engaging with costing and pricing data that spans the US, Europe and beyond, with pricing exposure across tests, services, studies and delivery models.
• Autonomy & Impact – This is a genuine build role. Own the analytical and operational engine of a pricing function that's being built for scale.
• Professional Growth – Working directly alongside the Head of Strategic Pricing, you'll develop deep expertise across pricing strategy, deal economics, cost modelling and discount governance in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

• Strengthening margin governance through disciplined price–cost–margin analysis across tests, services and study types.
• Enhancing pricing processes by building scalable frameworks, catalogues and documentation that reduce key‑person dependency.
• Driving continuous improvement by identifying margin leakage, outdated pricing and structural inefficiencies.
• Shaping best practices in pricing analytics and profitability management across Cerba's global service portfolio.

• Own and continuously improve price–cost–margin analyses across tests, services and study types.
• Build and maintain cost models reflecting laboratory operations, partner labs and service delivery models.
• Support pricing of new deals, renewals and change orders, including deal economics and sensitivity analyses.
• Own pricing catalogue maintenance across regions, services and delivery models, including inflation recovery and periodic repricing.
• Monitor and analyze discounts, preparing recommendations in line with governance policies.
• Develop and maintain pricing and margin KPIs, dashboards and recurring reports for Pricing, Finance and Commercial teams.
• Support SAP, O2C and pricing tool implementation, ensuring pricing logic is correctly captured.
• Act as the institutional memory of pricing, maintaining models, documentation and assumptions over time.

• Proven experience in price–cost–margin analysis and financial modelling in complex, cost‑intensive service environments.
• Advanced Excel skills; familiarity with SAP or O2C processes advantageous.
• Ability to distil complex analyses into clear takeaways for senior or ELT‑level stakeholders.
• Confident and direct, able to ask tough questions, challenge assumptions and make recommendations under ambiguity.
• Background in CRO, lab or sample‑testing environments is advantageous but not essential; transferable experience from logistics or similar cost‑intensive service sectors is welcome.
• Fluent in English.
