Pricing Analyst
About Smith & Brock
At Smith & Brock, we’re not just in the business of fresh produce; we’re in the business of people, relationships, and responsibility. As a proudly family-run company, our values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in quality without compromise, integrity in every interaction, and sustainability that safeguards the future.
We are now looking for an analytical and highly motivated Pricing Analyst to join our Commercial team.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong commercial awareness and a passion for data analysis to play a key role in supporting pricing, margin optimisation, and commercial decision-making across the business.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Supporting weekly and monthly wholesale pricing
- Analysing cost fluctuations and market trends
- Assisting with tendering for larger new business opportunities
The role requires continuous monitoring of costs, seasonality, and pricing performance to help maximise margins across multiple areas of the business.
Working closely with Procurement, Operations, Production, and Sales teams, you’ll ensure pricing accuracy while identifying opportunities to improve customer spend, sourcing strategies, and overall profitability.
Key Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
