Numerous career positions benefit from a background in pricing. For example, a pricing consultant, whether part of a marketing team or freelance, offers comprehensive advice for pricing strategies. A pricing analyst collects and interprets data on market trends and values to set or adjust current pricing. A pricing specialist may perform the tasks of both the consultant and analyst or may collect and apply the data generated by consultants and analysts, enforcing the company’s pricing strategy. And a pricing manager oversees the overall strategy, coordinating the various departments involved, such as inventory and supplies, production, management, and sales. Even if your career does not directly involve pricing, a background in pricing can help you coordinate with those who are and promote effective communication.
