• Extract and model internal and external data to build pricing benchmarks, using these insights to calibrate and improve our pricing framework.

• Build tracking models to analyse how our pricing frameworks perform in the real world, comparing projected model outcomes against actual commercial results.

• Build models to quantify competitor pricing and regional market dynamics, using the data to optimise our regional rate cards.

• Translate complex modelling into clear, actionable pricing proposals and present findings to key stakeholders and senior leadership.

• Work with the commercial and marketing teams to turn model outputs into clear pricing collateral for our go-to-market teams.
