How to Apply for Pricing Analyst

at Supplyhouse

🏢 About Supplyhouse

Supplyhouse is a fast-growing e-commerce company specializing in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supplies, serving a niche market of contractors and tradespeople. With a remote-first culture and a focus on operational efficiency, Supplyhouse offers a unique opportunity to drive pricing strategy in a data-driven, agile environment.

About This Role

As a Pricing Analyst at Supplyhouse, you'll be the key driver of pricing decisions across thousands of SKUs, directly impacting revenue and margin. Your analysis will inform category strategies, and your ability to execute price changes accurately will keep the company competitive in a dynamic market.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing competitor pricing updates and identifying risks or opportunities. Then, you'd analyze pricing reports in Excel, prepare recommendations for category managers, and execute price changes in the system. Afternoon could involve building a new dashboard to track margin trends or meeting with the team to discuss strategy.
