I’ve spearheaded the growth of the business through excellent pricing strategies, managing budgets worth £430/£100m margin across many departments. I constantly search for ways to increase profits through constant assessment of our processes, checking every relevant factor to identify shortcomings, potential improvements, and opportunities, before implementing changes or new plans that will deliver the best outcome possible.Part of my work here involves forming fantastic working relationships with both internal and external individuals and companies at all levels, making sure we have the freedom of communication needed. This requires an extremely professional attitude and exceptional interpersonal skills.As well as all of this, I’m a team leader for a group of diverse and highly-skilled people. Besides assigning daily tasks, responsibilities, and targets to my team, I also offer support and help to inspire a strong spirit and collaboration that gets us all working as one entity, which has proven to be both of significant benefit to the company’s operations and individual confidence.

I delivered consistent savings and extremely high profits that not only met, but in many cases exceeded the company’s sales targets. Working with a brilliant team, I assigned roles and responsibilities on a daily basis, identifying each person’s skills and making the most of their capabilities, while inspiring even more confidence. Additionally, I was the point of communication for our services partner, and created a very productive and close commercial and operational relationship.

I progressed quickly while at Vodafone UK, from joining via their graduate scheme into a Project Management Office & Support role to becoming the Pricing Manager in Enterprise Commercial marketing.As a Pricing Manager, I consistently went above and beyond expectations. I oversaw and dealt with product price management, identifying market trends, competitor actions, and jumping on any and all opportunities. I also maintained a great relationship with product owners, working closely with them to make sure our products stayed in line with the desires of the market.Just a couple of my key achievements here are: - Providing annual savings of over £1m by reviewing and addressing sub-optimal pricing models, updating strategies and delivering these savings in an extremely short amount of time- Being an Enterprise lead in negotiations with a large range of high-level companies, including Microsoft (Nokia), Blackberry, and HTC, obtaining excellent prices and contract agreements

This role involves all the different elements of pricing, from assessing the value that customers will place on a service or product, through to forecasting the expected impact on our financial forecasts based on pricing and / or promotional activity.Owning Mobile Broadband & Tablet pricing within the Small Business Segment for the last year, has given me scope to work with product & segment leads to enhance the portfolio of services and devices whilst driving efficiency metrics and a greater understanding of the overall value of the customers.I have also built up processes to greater develop our ability to forecast device volumes, delivering tools that enable us to track the impact of price movements and overall volumes vs our Budget.More recently I have been tasked with improving our efficiency and profitability of existing customers, by understanding various different commercial models across the enterprise segment.
