As the Pricing Manager you will be responsible for leading the day-to-day execution of the pricing change process and serving as a front‑line manager to a team of 10+ Pricing Administrators.

• Provide daily leadership, coaching, and performance management for a team of Pricing Admins (10+ direct reports) responsible for executing pricing updates and maintaining pricing accuracy.
• Manage workforce needs including workload balancing, scheduling, coverage planning, and team coordination to meet service levels and deadlines.
• Serve as the first escalation point for team questions and exceptions (e.g., significant cost increases, unusual pricing scenarios, incomplete/incorrect requests).
• Establish clear expectations for quality, turnaround time, documentation, and professional communication across the team.
• Pricing Request Intake, Triage & Workflow Ownership
  • Act as the primary monitor/owner of the Pricing Admin Email Inbox—the intake channel for pricing requests from vendors, sales, procurement, and sourcing.
  • Vet and triage incoming requests to confirm they belong to the pricing team, contain required information, and are routed correctly; return or redirect requests that are incomplete or misrouted.
  • Ensure pricing work is logged, tracked, and managed through workflow tools (e.g., Smartsheet) and follow defined procedures for intake, assignment, completion, and closure.
• Work Assignment, Quality Control & Completion Validation
  • Assign cases/work items to individual Pricing Admins, ensuring appropriate prioritization and throughput across the team.
  • Perform a secondary validation/QA step on completed work to confirm changes are accurate, timely, and efficiently executed before final closure/confirmation.
  • Ensure that pricing documentation and records are maintained with precision and aligned to compliance and audit expectations.

  • Oversee the team’s execution of vendor cost and customer price updates, including:
    Reviewing vendor‑announced price changes and comparing vendor price lists to current system‑loaded pricing.
  • Determining whether system updates are required and ensuring vendor cost, market cost, and customer sales prices are updated appropriately based on the rate of cost change.
  • Ensuring changes are completed in alignment with deadlines and internal controls.
  • Ensure transactional price updates follow established guidance (directional moves aligned to cost changes, without independent “strategy adders”).
• Escalations, Exception Handling & Cross‑Functional Coordination
  • When pricing activity “looks out of line” (e.g., unusually large increases), evaluate the issue and determine next steps, including escalation to sourcing/procurement ownership, vendor engagement and national account stakeholders.
  • Serve as a liaison/contact for field leadership, responding to first‑level questions related to cost/pricing activity and routing complex issues appropriately.
• Reporting, Monitoring & Process Improvement
  • Monitor pricing activity through routine reporting and dashboards to identify trends, errors, and improvement opportunities (e.g., margin risk, cost errors, throughput bottlenecks).
  • Maintain and enhance procedures that improve efficiency, integrity, and timeliness of pricing execution.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across pricing operations (workflows, templates, standard work, communication standards).
