Your contribution:

As Senior Pricing Manager META, you will:

• Build and run the META pricing framework across technology tiers (SLI, EFB, AGM, xEV), brands (VARTA, OPTIMA, Delkor, Energizer, private label) and countries, balancing premium positioning with local competitive realities.
• Deliver the META net pricing target and protect margin per unit, in support of the META standard margin target.
• Ensure pricing discipline across the distributor network and channels (OEM, OES, aftermarket, fleet), preventing grey-market activity and undercutting that erodes brand value.
• Set up pricing governance for the new Riyadh regional HQ: price and deal approval rules, price analytics and reporting, aligned with EMEA Pricing.
  

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (META Regional Headquarters), with regular travel across the GCC and Africa

What you will do:

• Define the META price architecture: list prices, distributor net prices, OEM supply, OES and fleet or B2B pricing, with a margin framework for each channel and price positioning by brand and technology tier.
• Lead the annual price adjustment process for META, including the price increases in Africa and the GCC, and ensure flawless execution with the Heads of Sales and Sales Managers.
• Run the weekly price and deal desk: review and approve price, rebate, discount and credit exceptions, and log every decision with its reason.
• Monitor competitor prices and prepare responses; use the anti-dumping duties in the GCC in the pricing case for locally produced batteries.
• Manage the pass-through of lead (LME) and core prices and of currency effects, especially in Africa and Türkiye, and apply FX and credit rules in pricing.
• Analyze margin per unit and price-volume-mix by brand, technology and country using price analytics and market intelligence; identify opportunities and present them to the Head of Commercial & BD.
• Design distributor terms with the Heads of Sales: rebates, bonuses and sell-out incentives, and check compliance with them.
• Prepare pricing proposals for tenders and framework agreements with fleets, government vehicle pools, rental companies and OEM and OES partners.
• Align KSA and GCC price lists after the Project MIDDLE: review prices against the market across all Clarios brands.
• Contribute to the rollout of CPQ and price tools in META and define price data and reporting needs with Finance, IT and the Sales Back Office; publish a monthly price realization report.
• Collaborate with EMEA Pricing, Product Management, Finance and Sales; train Sales Managers on price discipline and value-based selling.

What makes you a good fit:

• University degree in business, economics, finance, engineering or a related field; Master's or MBA is an advantage
• Minimum 8 years of experience in pricing, commercial excellence, sales operations or commercial finance, including at least 3 years in a regional role in emerging markets
• Strong analytical skills: price analytics, price-volume-mix, margin analysis; able to turn data into clear recommendations
• Experience with CPQ and pricing tools and with price and discount conditions in ERP (SAP) is an advantage
• Experience in the automotive aftermarket, batteries or industrial products sold through distributors; knowledge of META markets is an advantage
• Proven project management skills and the ability to influence sales leaders, distributors and senior stakeholders
• Must be able to travel 30% of the time; based in Riyadh
• English and French fluent (business proficiency); Arabic or Turkish  are advantages
