ABOUT THE ROLE

The Revenue Management Analyst will be a key member of Roland Foods’ Revenue Management team, who is responsible for optimizing the company’s overall gross profit by managing customer pricing, new bid pricing and trade spend/rebates.  The Revenue Management Analyst will have decision-making authority in pricing existing business and new opportunities and making decisions on trade spend.  As such, the role requires a strong analytical skillset, a comfort with unit economics and thorough attention to detail.  In addition, since many of the inputs to pricing decisions come from other departments (Sales, Sourcing, Logistics), the role requires the ability to partner and collaborate cross-functionally.  The role will get unique visibility into these other departments, providing an opportunity to learn the end-to-end mechanics of the business. Given the Revenue Management team’s importance to the success of the company, there are ample opportunities to present analysis and pricing proposals to senior leadership of the organization.  The Revenue Management team sits within the Strategy & Commercial Operations team at Roland Foods, which also includes the company’s marketing, creative, and business technology and analytics functions. 

As a response to the pandemic, Roland Foods office employees have transitioned to a hybrid working schedule, requiring employees to report in-person Tuesday through Thursday, with the option to telework on Monday and Friday each week. Due to the collaborative, cross-functional nature of the organization, employees at the NY and NJ offices are required to work in-person for the abovementioned days, outside of any People & Culture-approved disability accommodation request.
