About The Position

The Director of Pricing Strategy and Governance is responsible for developing, testing, and implementing pricing strategies and governance that optimize revenue, profitability, volume, and capacity utilization while supporting Reworld’s broader commercial objectives. This role combines pricing strategy, analytics, governance, and cross-functional execution to turn strategic pricing concepts into actionable plans and measurable financial results. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated leader who can operate independently, identify opportunities, challenge existing approaches, and work across Regional and functional teams to drive implementation. This role is focused on strategic oversight, governance, and implementation and is not currently responsible for day-to-day pricing administration, ERP price maintenance, or the administrative execution of annual price increases. Reworld’s revenue and pricing strategies generally fall into three primary categories: Value-Based Pricing: Profiled Waste / Environmental Services utilizing internal Reworld capacity, Cost-Based Pricing: Profiled Waste / Environmental Services utilizing external third-party capacity, Competitive-Based Pricing: Municipal Waste Services, which is not a primary focus of this role. This role will have a particular focus on developing and testing Value-Based Pricing strategies that optimize the balance of price, volume, customer value, profitability, and capacity utilization. The objective is not simply to maximize price, but to determine the right commercial strategy based on the market, customer, available capacity, and long-term value to Reworld. This role will also strengthen pricing governance across the organization, working with Regional leadership, Sales, Finance, Operations, and Product Management to create consistent decision frameworks, approval processes, and accountability while maintaining appropriate flexibility for local market conditions.
