This role reports to the SVP of Pricing and RM, sits on the pricing leadership team, and builds and leads a growing pricing organization.

• Own price architecture across TAG brands, starting with Aspen, spanning fee schedules, list-price logic, consult discounts, promotional guardrails, bundles, memberships, affordability pathways, and financing support rules.
• Translate brand and enterprise strategy into pricing actions with clear business cases, test plans, decision criteria, and rollout guidance.
• Lead the pricing calendar, monthly business review, approval cadence, and policy governance across the portfolio.
• Partner with marketing and brand leaders on offer architecture and campaign economics while maintaining pricing ownership of the commercial rules and measurement approach.
• Partner with operations and field leadership across brands to ensure pricing constructs are executable, understandable, and sustainable in office workflows.
• Define the realized-price and out-of-pocket waterfall, including how list price, discounting, financing, memberships, and other affordability levers interact.
• Set guardrails for exceptions, promotional use, regional variation, and market pilots, and adjudicate escalations that cross brand or regional lines.
• Build and lead the pricing team, including the Principal Pricing Analyst function, prioritizing analyses, experimentation, and post-launch measurement.
• Provide recommendations to the SVP and broader leadership team on revenue, case acceptance, mix, margin, and patient value implications of pricing choices.
• Build a disciplined pricing operating model, proven in Aspen, and lead its expansion to additional TAG brands without overcomplicating phase one.
• Represent pricing in cross-brand strategic planning and portfolio-level investment decisions.

• Establish one enterprise pricing calendar, one approval path, and one monthly performance review, starting with Aspen.
• Create a practical price waterfall and standard KPI set for list price, realized price, consult discounting, promotional utilization, and case acceptance.
• Launch a structured test-and-learn rhythm for pricing changes, bundles, memberships, and affordability offers.
• Improve consistency and governance across pricing decisions without slowing down commercial execution.
• Stand up the core pricing team and define a scaling plan to bring additional TAG brands onto the model.

• 12+ years of experience in pricing, revenue management, commercial strategy, or related analytics-intensive business roles.
• Experience owning pricing decisions at an enterprise or multi-brand level in a consumer, retail, healthcare, dental, multi-site services, or similarly complex environment.
• Demonstrated success building and leading pricing or offer changes from concept through implementation and performance review, including leading and developing a team.
• Strong understanding of willingness to pay, ability to pay, promotional economics, bundle design, and patient or customer segmentation, with experience presenting pricing strategy to executive-level audiences.

• Experience in healthcare, dental, retail healthcare, or other consult-led service models, ideally across multiple brands or business units.
• Familiarity with list-price to out-of-pocket pricing waterfalls, financing pathways, and affordability dynamics.
• Experience building and leading pricing teams, and influencing senior executives and boards, without relying on large dedicated support functions.
• Comfort working in an environment where governance and analytics capabilities are still being built, including building those capabilities from the ground up.
• Prior P&L or portfolio-level ownership.

• Commercial judgment balanced with patient-first thinking.
• Ability to simplify complex pricing decisions into practical rules and field guidance.
• High ownership, strong cross-functional influence, and comfort making decisions with imperfect information.

• Executive presence and credibility to represent pricing strategy directly to senior leadership and brand presidents.
• People leadership: ability to build, coach, and retain a high-performing pricing team.
