• Monitoring multi-year pricing agreements to identify scheduled rate changes, review dates, step-ups, promotional adjustments and other pricing actions required during the term of the agreement.
• Preparing analysis and modelling for upcoming agreement renewals, expiries or pricing reviews, and escalating key issues, risks or opportunities to Pricing Managers for consideration.
• Maintaining, identifying and improving rates and pricing data quality, process documentation, templates and reporting to support consistent, efficient and reliable pricing operations.
