The company is currently seeking a Retail Pricing & Sales Analyst, a full-time, in-office position based in Portland, OR. Offering an annual salary ranging from $70,000 to $80,000 depending on experience, this role is essential in driving the pricing strategy and sales analytics for their retail grocery customer base. In this critical role, the analyst will replace unsystematic, rep-level pricing decisions with a structured, data-driven approach that optimizes profitability and market competitiveness.

The Retail Pricing & Sales Analyst will be responsible for developing and maintaining pricing models that ensure consistency and competitive positioning across all retail accounts.

Moreover, the analyst will serve as a trusted expert on sales performance trends, customer-specific pricing behavior, and the overall retail pricing strategy.

The position demands excellent communication and interpersonal skills, enabling the specialist to translate complex analytical insights into clear, actionable recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Supporting sales representatives in executing pricing strategies and coaching them through change management is another vital responsibility. The analyst will also spearhead the adoption of analytical tools and reporting systems that streamline decision-making while minimizing administrative workload for the sales team.

Monitoring competitive pricing trends in the market and preparing proactive recommendations further ensures the company's pricing remains advantageous. Additionally, the Retail Pricing & Sales Analyst will assist leadership with ad hoc reporting requests and contribute to long-term forecasting and strategic planning projects. This multifaceted role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, cross-functional environment and has a passion for leveraging data insights to create real business impact. United Salad Co. provides a supportive work environment with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, paid time off, and 401(k) plans.
