Penguin Random House UKPricing Analyst

May. 2014 - Dec. 2015London, United KingdomHolding the main responsibility for pricing analysis within the UK and Europe, I used statistical techniques and data management skills to acquire and analyse the right data to optimise pricing across a huge catalogue of published titles. To find the right prices, I processed large volumes of historical and market data to create predictive models and ran experiments to test the effectiveness of new pricing strategies using limited subsets of titles. It was also my responsibility to present the results of these analyses in the form of insights and recommendations that led to business decisions around pricing and eBook strategy. In addition to presenting my findings to senior executive groups within the company, I created and distributed tools that allowed end users within the business (e.g. members of the digital sales team) to quickly generate reports and visualisations using sales and pricing data for individual titles or sets of titles.
