Design and build a centralized Pricing Operations function, bringing pricing work that sits across multiple teams today into one function with clear ownership of strategy, analytics, and deal support.
-
Define and implement a segment-aware pricing cadence, replacing episodic reviews with a disciplined, regular cycle, tuned to how fast each part of the business needs to move.
-
Stand up a pricing council and governance model so every approved change carries clear rationale, ownership, and advance communication to sales, finance, and customer-facing teams.
-
Direct the build-out of AI-assisted digital worker capabilities for competitor pricing analysis, discount analysis, discount depth analysis, and market alerts, so the function operates at pace without growing headcount.

Give senior leadership early visibility into market-moving events, including competitor pricing moves and market disruption, ahead of the standard review cycle.
-
Build a strong dotted-line partnership with the Network Security group to keep pricing decisions aligned across SecOps and Network Security.
