  • Prepare and coordinate generic CBD (Cost Breakdown) calculations, ensuring transparency and consistency of underlying cost structures.
  • Manage and maintain generic capacity and replacement tool calculations, including analysis of their commercial impact on product pricing.
  • Perform price controlling and proactively identify deviations, inconsistencies, risks and opportunities within the pricing portfolio.
  • Ensure accurate and timely price maintenance in relevant systems and databases throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Take responsibility for IC Pricing activities and ensure appropriate calculation, maintenance and coordination of intercompany pricing.
  • Analyze pricing data, cost developments, volumes and other commercial parameters to identify trends and support business decisions.
  • Provide analytical input and recommendations to Sales, Management and other relevant stakeholders based on pricing and commercial data.
  • Ensure consistency and transparency of pricing calculations across products, customers and business areas.
  • Establish and maintain pricing-related data, calculation models, documentation and supporting analyses.

  • Support the preparation of management reports, pricing analyses and presentations.
  • Present pricing analyses, calculation results and recommendations to internal stakeholders and management when required.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for process optimization, standardization and automation within global pricing activities.
  • Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of global pricing processes, tools, methodologies and guidelines.
  • Participate in cross-functional and international projects related to pricing, commercial processes and sales support.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, procedures, pricing governance and applicable commercial guidelines.
  • Act as a subject-matter expert for assigned pricing topics and provide guidance to relevant internal stakeholders.
