What we’re looking for:

• Significant experience leading pricing or related commercial functions within a global professional services environment, with a proven ability to develop and implement firm-wide pricing strategies aligned to business objectives.

• Strong commercial acumen and a track record of leading complex negotiations, providing strategic pricing advice, and supporting client teams to achieve profitable and competitive outcomes.

• Advanced analytical and financial modelling skills, with experience delivering data-driven insights to support pricing decisions, fee arrangements, and risk management.

• Demonstrated ability to drive innovation and continuous improvement through the use of automation, AI, and market intelligence to enhance pricing effectiveness and commercial performance.

• Proven people leadership experience, with the ability to develop high-performing teams, set clear objectives, and foster a collaborative and growth-focused culture.
