Pricing Strategy & Intelligence Manager

We are looking for a highly analytical and commercially minded Pricing Strategy & Intelligence Manager to support SKF’s global Pricing Excellence agenda. In this role, you will work at the intersection of strategy and execution, contributing to the design, analysis, and implementation of global pricing programs, tools, and governance models in close collaboration with Business Areas and regions.

The position combines direct pricing analytics work with structured problem solving and senior stakeholder interaction. You will drive initiatives such as pricing maturity assessments, pricing types, dashboards, and governance frameworks — translating data into insights that support practical decision making and measurable business impact. This is a role suited for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and the operational steps required to realise pricing improvements across a global organisation.

Key responsibilities

• Implement global pricing programs in close collaboration with Business Areas and regional teams
• Conduct advanced pricing, margin, and profitability analyses across segments, customers, and regions
• Develop, enhance, and maintain pricing KPIs, and performance tracking to increase transparency and insight
• Contribute to pricing initiatives, guidance tools, discount structures, and escalation frameworks
• Perform market, customer, and competitor analyses to identify pricing and margin improvement opportunities
• Support the rollout, adoption, and continuous improvement of pricing tools, processes, and governance models
• Prepare simulations, business cases, and impact assessments to inform pricing decisions
• Partner effectively with stakeholders across Product, Sales, Finance, and Commercial Excellence to ensure alignment and impact

Who You Are

You are structured, curious, and comfortable working with data to understand the broader commercial picture. You take a practical, solution-oriented approach and stay proactive when challenges arise. Working in a global, matrix driven environment suits you well, and you communicate analytical insights in a clear and accessible way, even to senior stakeholders. Integrity guides your work — you value accuracy, respect governance, and take responsibility for the quality of your analyses. You approach work with a grounded mindset and a readiness to learn, offering steady contributions amid change.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of university studies within Economics, Business, Engineering, or similar
• Minimum 5 years of experience in pricing, commercial analytics, finance, commercial excellence, or consulting
• Experience from industrial B2B environments (Distributor, OEM, End User segments)
• Experience supporting pricing initiatives such as dashboards, governance and tools
• Demonstrated analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
• Advanced skills in Power Point, Excel and Power BI; experience with SAP and pricing tools is beneficial
• Advanced financial modelling capabilities (simulations, scenario analysis, impact quantification)
• Fluent English, written and spoken
• Consulting background within strategy, pricing, or analytics is an advantage

SKF is committed to creating a diverse environment, and we firmly believe that a diverse workforce is essential for our continued success. Therefore, we only focus on your experience, skills, and potential. Come as you are – just be yourself. #weareSKF 

What’s in It for You?

Join a motivated team central to SKF’s transformation, where you can contribute to real, out come driven projects instead of only theoretical strategy discussions. As part of an organisation undergoing significant strategic change, you will have direct exposure to key decision making and the opportunity to help shape how pricing and intelligence capabilities evolve across the business.

The team is committed to long term thinking, curiosity, and resilience, paired with a grounded and pragmatic way of working. We encourage openness to experimentation and learning, and support autonomy, ownership, and personal development within a collaborative, forward looking culture.
