A pricing analyst researches global trends to determine the best price for a product. As a pricing analyst, your duties include examining supply chain logistics, shipping costs, currency exchanges, competitor pricing, and many other factors that may affect the profit a product can generate. You then take that data to your employer and advise them on the best price to offset production cost, while remaining in line with these other trends. You likely need a master’s degree in finance, accounting, or business in this career. The skills gained in these programs are crucial for looking beyond production cost to determine a price point.
