Position Summary
The Senior Analyst, Competitive Pricing plays a critical role in shaping how Teradata competes in the market. This role is anchored in deep competitive pricing research that directly feeds into pricing analysis, recommendations, and approval — and extends that intelligence into field enablement that equips Sales and Deal Desk to compete and win on price.
Sitting within Teradata’s Product Marketing team, you will support the Pricing & Packaging team and will partner closely with Product Management, Competitive Intelligence, Product Marketing, Sales, and Deal Desk to build a fact-based view of competitor pricing — and translate those insights into actionable recommendations, pricing decisions, and field-ready tools.
This is a high-visibility role that directly influences pricing strategy, pricing approvals, deal execution, and competitive positioning.
What You Will Do
Competitive Pricing Research
- Conduct structured competitive pricing analysis across cloud data platform, analytics, and AI competitors — covering list prices, discount patterns, packaging models, and consumption-based pricing structures.
- Build and maintain a competitive pricing intelligence database that serves as the authoritative source of record for Pricing & Packaging, Product Marketing, and Competitive Intelligence teams — including list prices, discount patterns, packaging models, and TCO benchmarks.
- Develop TCO and price‑performance models comparing Teradata to key competitors across regions, workloads, and deployment models.
- Analyze win/loss pricing patterns to identify risks and opportunities, and translate findings into concrete inputs for pricing recommendations and approval decisions.
- Monitor AI pricing and cloud monetization trends — token-based, consumption-based, and outcome-based models — and surface implications for Teradata’s pricing strategy and competitive positioning.
- Partner with Product Management and Product Marketing to ensure pricing strategy reflects current competitive realities and that research findings are integrated into packaging decisions and pricing recommendations.
Competitive Pricing Enablement
- Develop field-ready competitive pricing content — pricing briefs, battle cards, objection-handling guides, and deal-specific competitive summaries — grounded in research and immediately usable by Sales and Deal Desk.
- Build and maintain competitive pricing tools — including TCO calculators, price-performance comparison frameworks, and consumption model explainers — that Sales and Deal Desk can use in active opportunities.
- Translate win/loss pricing patterns into actionable field guidance — not just analysis, but competitive positioning and response playbooks that Sales can use in the next conversation.
- Support strategic and competitive deals with rapid-response competitive pricing analysis, negotiation framing, and custom TCO modeling tailored to specific account contexts.
