• As Pricing & Reporting Analyst, you will work directly with the Sr. Pricing Analyst to maximize profitability through smart pricing execution. By 6–12 months, you will be running pricing operations independently, regularly making recommendations that move sell-through, margin, or working capital, and serving as the team's go-to for AI-augmented workflows.

• Execute daily, weekly, and seasonal price changes across four banners, ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery
• Monitor competitive pricing across key categories and partner brands; surface risks and opportunities to the Sr. Pricing Analyst and Buying teams
• Track MAP and MSRP compliance across the assortment, flagging and correcting violations in a timely manner
• Bring analytical judgment to pricing and strategy conversations—surface trends, audit outcomes, flag risks, and recommend pricing actions that improve sell-through, margin, or working capital
• Build and maintain pricing reports and dashboards that Planning, Buying, and Marketing teams rely on
• Document and improve pricing processes—turn one-off analyses into repeatable AI-powered workflows
• Partner with Marketing on promotional pricing setup and post-promo recaps
• Maintain a strong feedback loop with the Sr. Pricing Analyst on what is working, what is not, and where to push next
