Pricing Manager
Advanced Innovative Technology Corp. TrakMotive, Redlands, CA, United States
TrakMotive is seeking a motivated and experienced Pricing Manager to partner with leadership to develop and execute pricing strategy for automotive parts across customer segments and regions. This role combines advanced analytics expertise to optimize pricing structures, improve profitability, and enhance competitiveness. This role will transform complex data into actionable insights, guiding decisions on pricing frameworks, discount governance, and customer segmentation.
The ideal candidate understands the nuances of parts categories, vendor programs, stock adjustment/returns, and channel margins, and can integrate this knowledge with data-driven strategies to support RFPs, quoting, and go-to-market initiatives. This position is pivotal in implementing new pricing capabilities, standardizing processes, and partnering with Sales, Products, Finance, and Operations to deliver measurable financial impact.
Responsibilities:
Create, socialize, and own the parts pricing strategy across customer channels, aligning with distribution and growth objectives
Define the pricing change strategy (triggers, cadence, governance, approval thresholds) balancing competitiveness, margin, and operational efficiency
Embed pricing into go-to-market plans, promotions, and contract structures with Sales, Product, and Finance
Build and maintain pricing analytics: price elasticity, competitive gap analysis, quote and RFP win rate models, contribution/pocket margin, mix/shift impacts, and cost inflation passthrough
Use Advanced SQL (CTEs, window functions, complex joins, query optimization) to integrate data across ERP/WMS, e-commerce, quoting, and contract tools
Design and implement BI data models and dashboards (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) for price realization, margin waterfall (list discounts promos rebates freight payment terms), and exception monitoring
Apply predictive and prescriptive techniques to recommend price actions by SKU, region, and customer segment
Ensure data quality, lineage, and stewardship; define critical pricing master data (attributes, segmentation, approval matrices)
Build and manage pricing frameworks (matrix/cost-plus, market based, value based) with clear guardrails and automated discount controls to protect margins
Lead RFP development, standardize pricing responses, and build scalable models/templates for fast, accurate bid execution
Publish playbooks and training
Partner with IT/Data to maintain secure, auditable processes and single source of truth for pricing data and metrics
Proven experience designing and operating pricing frameworks across large, multisource operational datasets
