Executive Search And Recruitment

Hiring pricing leaders who protect margin and execute strategy

Pricing Executive Recruitment

Pricing managers oversee millions of dollars in revenue.
A single poor hire can quietly erode margin through weak judgement, slow execution, misaligned incentives and loss of pricing discipline.

Taylor Wells helps organisations hire pricing leaders who can operate under commercial pressure. Not just people who look good on paper.

Why Pricing Hires Fail

Most pricing recruitment fails because it relies on:

CVs that don’t predict pricing performance

Interviews that reward confidence over judgement

Generic recruiters who don’t understand pricing roles

Hiring criteria disconnected from commercial strategy

The result is delayed outcomes, margin leakage and long, painful recovery cycles.


The Commercial Risk Of A Bad Pricing Hire

A poorly matched pricing manager can:

Increase discounting and exceptions

Delay cost recovery and price actions

Create friction with sales and finance

Undermine pricing governance and credibility

In practice, businesses often lose 3-9 percentage points of margin before issues are addressed.

Our Approach To
Pricing Executive Recruitment

We recruit pricing leaders differently because pricing roles are different.

Our recruitment approach combines:

  • Role and capability design aligned to strategy
  • Pricing-specific capability assessment
  • Commercial judgement and decision-making evaluation
  • Benchmarked pricing leadership experience
  • Early risk and misalignment detection

This ensures candidates can execute pricing strategy, not just talk about it.

This service is typically used when:

  • Hiring a Head of Pricing or senior pricing leader
  • Replacing a pricing manager without repeating past mistakes
