Job Description & Summary
The world is changing rapidly and our clients face substantial challenges and new opportunities as a result. Technology is advancing and disrupts how companies interact with their customers. Customers' expectations are shifting: they demand faster and more personalized services.
In this continuously evolving environment, PwC’s customer practice helps our clients identify and implement common digital technologies to become more customer centric. To stay relevant, companies have to rethink their strategy, operating model, how they interact with their customers, and also the technology that brings these to life. “Disrupt or get disrupted” is increasingly becoming the new mantra.
As a Pricing Technology Manager in our customer practice, you will support clients in various industries that are all facing similar commercial challenges, from their strategy to their execution. Typical questions we help our clients with are:
- ‘How do we maximize the commercial value we get from each customer?’
- ‘What's the best approach to end-to-end process design for a pricing platform in an ERP landscape?’
- ‘How would you encourage the adoption of a new pricing platform?’
- ‘How do you balance pricing standardization on global standards that allows for local pricing requirements and practices?’
- ‘How to enhance the external partner experience and optimize their commercial value?’
- ‘How can technology help us get better insights on customer behaviours, pricing trends and profitability?’
- ‘How do we drive the digital transformation?”
Your work will center on pricing technology and customer centric transformation topics. You will manage client relationships and advise companies in the consumer goods, retail, industrial products, technology, media & telecommunications industries on questions related to commercial excellence and customer engagement.
You will manage customer technology projects within the full breadth of the consulting field, from strategy through execution. Your projects can be in multiple industries and through focusing on your next career move, you can choose to specialize in one of them. In this position, you have the opportunity to develop your managerial & analytical skills while gaining new insights and building relationships that will benefit you for the rest of your career.
