It isn’t corporate finance or accounting, but it exists in many industries. It is why roses cost more on Valentine’s Day than the week after, why hotel rooms in Las Vegas cost more on the weekend than mid-week, and why sometimes there are seat sales for flights many months in advance. The Pricing Team is responsible for defining price points based on the strategic direction of the market, balancing consumer demand and competitive needs in a constantly shifting environment. Pricing & Revenue Management are a blend of art and science that requires the combination of strategic thinking and problem solving to make high impact decisions with immediate impacts.
