New executive at TGCG will "need to love and be comfortable with change"
 

The Garden Centre Group are advertising for the role of Pricing Manager and are offering a salary of between £65k and £75k plus benefits. But the group are insisting the right candidate will "need to love and be comfortable with change".

TGCG have recently bought the Garden & Leisure Group of garden centres and have seen many management changes over the past few weeks with others expected in the near future. The group refuse to be drawn on any future changes, insisting they don't comment in public on HR matters.

The Job Description says:

You will work closely with Buying Managers in a cross-product-category role, being accountable for providing a framework and guidance for price and promotion setting, including enforcing a Pricing Policy.

You will be accountable for providing an analytical basis on which the Buying Managers make pricing decisions and for the management of inputs to the pricing process which will include:

  • The running and analysis of price / promotion trials
  • The designing, fielding and interpretation of customer pricing research
  • The gathering and assimilating of competitor benchmarking
  • Interaction with the marketing team to align price to customer value proposition

As a key stakeholder of this growing business you will "pressure test" Buying Managers' pricing recommendations and manage the smooth running of the Pricing Team and the delivery of pricing commitments.

The job is being advertised through Michael Page Marketing. For more details visit www.michaelpage.co.uk/marketing
