Position Summary
The Analyst, Pricing & Margin plays a critical role in protecting and expanding profitability across a complex, high-volume, broadline food distribution business. This highly analytical role focuses on pricing execution, cost volatility management, and margin visibility across thousands of SKUs spanning center-of-plate (COP), dry grocery, frozen, dairy, produce, and non-food categories.
Partnering closely with Sales, Procurement, Finance, and Operations, the Analyst ensures pricing decisions accurately reflect vendor costs, freight and fuel impacts, rebate programs, and service-level economics-while remaining competitive in a highly price-sensitive market.
This position requires strong technical and analytical capabilities, including the ability to manipulate large datasets across multiple systems. The Analyst will develop and track key performance indicators (KPIs) that enhance business visibility, support pricing strategy, and drive profitability across the organization.
