What Does It Take to Become a Great Pricing Director?
When I work with clients on pricing transformation, they often ask what skills they should look for when hiring a Pricing Director to lead the initiative.
Before I answer the question, let’s talk about what a pricing director is often charged to do:
- Brings pricing best practices (tools, frameworks, processes, capabilities) to the organization
- Drives mindset change
- Gets people throughout the organization to make smarter pricing decisions
Since a Pricing Director is typically not the final decision maker nor has the rank to stop bad decisions, he or she essentially is a change agent without the power. Not an easy job indeed.
