Job Description

About the Team 

The Pricing Strategy & Commercialisation team sits within the Product Organization and is Unit4's internal authority on how we price and position our products. Our mission is to optimize Unit4's economic value through world-class pricing strategy, governance and execution across the entire Product portfolio - ensuring our pricing model reflects the genuine value we deliver to customers whilst supporting Unit4's revenue and ARR growth targets. 

We are a small, high-impact team. Current priorities include AI pricing strategy, new Pricing & Packaging (P&P) strategy execution, and KPI framework & governance development. 

Our key business partners span CPO, CTO, CRO, CSO and CFO organizations, making cross-functional influence and commercial credibility as important as technical pricing expertise. 

 

The Role 

As Principal Pricing Analyst, you will serve as Unit4's internal pricing subject matter expert across the Unit4 Product Portfolio - the analytical and strategic engine behind our most complex and high-impact pricing work. This is a senior individual contributor role for a deep practitioner who combines mastery of SaaS pricing economics with the presence and communication skills to shape decisions at the highest levels of the organisation. 

You will work closely with the Senior Director of Pricing & Commercialisation to define and codify Unit4's pricing principles, governance frameworks and long-term monetisation strategy. A core focus of this role is leading the development and execution of Unit4's AI pricing strategy defining a predictable, commercially deployable framework for monetizing our AI capabilities, as well as leveraging AI tools for dynamic pricing, demand forecasting and price optimization day to day. 

You will lead key pricing projects, oversee price modelling and packaging from launch to discount governance, drive pricing transformation, and mentor junior staff while strengthening pricing skills across the business.

  • Own the development and continuous improvement of pricing guidance tools and conversion frameworks used by Sales and Deal Desk teams to price and present deals consistently and effectively

  • Serve as the pricing lead for high-stakes cross-functional initiatives and new product launches 
  • Build and sustain trusted relationships with key business partners across CPO, CRO, CSO and CFO organizations - ensuring pricing strategy is embedded in go-to-market planning and commercial decision-making at the appropriate level 

Enablement, Thought Leadership & AI Integration 

  • Champion pricing excellence across Unit4: develop training materials, run enablement sessions and act as a visible internal authority for pricing and commercial strategy questions from Sales, Product and Finance teams 
  • Drive the practical application of AI within pricing workflows - from predictive price modelling and automated competitive analysis to AI-assisted discount guidance and scenario generation - materially increasing the quality, speed and commercial impact of the team's output; act as the team's AI pricing champion, staying ahead of developments in AI-driven monetisation and ensuring Unit4's approach remains at the leading edge 
  • Monitor the competitive and market landscape continuously, generating proactive insight on pricing trends, competitor moves and SaaS monetisation innovation that enables leadership to anticipate and respond to market shifts 
  • Contribute to the development of the team's operating model - OKR frameworks, KPI reporting structures and process documentation - supporting the Pricing function's evolution into a scalable, high-performing centre of commercial excellence
