Role Summary
The Senior Director, Pricing Operations will lead the transformation of Sophos's SecOps pricing function: building a centralized team, a disciplined operating cadence, and an AI-assisted governance model that let pricing move at the pace of the market. This is a build role. The Director will design the target operating model, stand up the team and the cadence behind it, and give senior leadership a clear, early view of competitive and market shifts, with a strong dotted line into the Network Security group to keep pricing decisions connected across both businesses.
What You Will Do
- Design and build a centralized Pricing Operations function, bringing pricing work that sits across multiple teams today into one function with clear ownership of strategy, analytics, and deal support.
- Define and implement a segment-aware pricing cadence, replacing episodic reviews with a disciplined, regular cycle, tuned to how fast each part of the business needs to move.
- Stand up a pricing council and governance model so every approved change carries clear rationale, ownership, and advance communication to sales, finance, and customer-facing teams.
- Direct the build-out of AI-assisted digital worker capabilities for competitor pricing analysis, discount analysis, discount depth analysis, and market alerts, so the function operates at pace without growing headcount.
- Give senior leadership early visibility into market-moving events, including competitor pricing moves and market disruption, ahead of the standard review cycle.
- Build a strong dotted-line partnership with the Network Security group to keep pricing decisions aligned across SecOps and Network Security.
- Define and report the metrics that prove the new model is working: cadence adherence, time from decision to communication, and discount discipline.
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.
