Deltek is in the early stages of a multi-year pricing architecture transformation - modernizing how we price and package our $1B+ SaaS portfolio to better align with the value we deliver to customers.
This role sits at the center of that work and will influence pricing architecture decisions across Deltek's SaaS portfolio as we evolve our monetization models to support changing products, markets, and customer expectations.
The pricing transformation has active executive sponsorship and strong cross-functional engagement across Product, Finance, and Sales.
You will operate across two workstreams simultaneously:
Pricing Architecture & Transformation - developing analytical models, running simulations, and producing the artifacts that drive structural pricing decisions.
Pricing Operations & Governance - maintaining the recurring analytical cadence that supports executive pricing reviews, including scorecards, price waterfalls, discount analysis, and competitive intelligence.
This is not a reporting role. You will build models, interpret results, form a point of view, and present recommendations to senior leadership.
You will work closely with the Director of Strategic Pricing on pricing architecture design, analytical modeling, and executive decision support while collaborating across Product, Finance, Sales, and Technology.
