We're searching for a Pricing Insights & Analytics Lead to join us on a permanent basis at our Binley, Coventry HQ. The purpose of this role is to lead the identification, assessment and delivery of pricing opportunities across STARK UK, using internal pricing data, margin insight and external market understanding to challenge performance and support better commercial decisions.

Initial Dashboard & Reporting Set-Up: Establish the core dashboards and/or reports needed to create visibility and a consistent starting point for decision-making. Once embedded, these outputs should support ongoing opportunity identification rather than become the main focus of the role.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Pricing, Commercial, Category, Finance, MI/BI and Data teams to align insight, reporting and action planning.
