Sulzer Vendor

Pune

Sulzer is a leading engineering company with a proud heritage of innovation. Join our global team to grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more sustainable society.

About the role

Sulzer is a global industrial leader with a worldwide network of over 100 service centres offering state-of-the-art spare parts, maintenance and service solutions for pumps, turbines, compressors, motors and generators. In our Global Parts Pricing Projects Team we are building pricing as a strategic commercial capability - and we are looking for exceptional analytical talent to accelerate that journey.

The Role

This is not a typical pricing or analytics position. You will sit at the intersection of data science, commercial strategy and digital transformation - shaping pricing decisions across a ~ CHF 1.4B+ Services portfolio spanning 45 countries and 100+ service centres worldwide. You will work directly with the Global Pricing Head and regional leadership to close pricing gaps, build visibility infrastructure and drive measurable commercial impact at scale.

If you have a premier engineering foundation, a consulting mindset and the ambition to build something that matters globally - this role is designed for you.

Your Responsibilities Pricing Strategy Analytics

Design and optimize a global pricing strategy for Sulzers aftermarket - covering OEM spares, repair pricing and VBP models across all product lines

Build and deploy data-driven pricing models that close the CHF 1.4B+ coverage gap - identifying where margin is left on the table and quantifying the full financial impact

Develop pricing tools and frameworks enabling consistent, market-responsive pricing decisions across all regions, product lines and customer segments

Lead profitability analyses, and contract price governance - turning data into clear, executive-ready action plans

Build pricing dashboards giving leadership real-time visibility into hit rate, end-to-end GP and price increase impact across the full

Services portfolio

Data Science Artificial Intelligence

Apply machine learning and AI techniques to pricing optimisation, hit rate analysis and customer segmentation - using Python, R and modern AI tooling

Design and build pricing APIs and data pipelines that connect pricing logic to operational systems including SAP, Qlik and ZEST across the global service network

Develop AI-assisted price recommendation engines and automated escalation logic that reduce manual intervention and improve decision speed





Create Qlik dashboards and data visualisations that bring key pricing KPIs - hit rate, GP, contract prices and price increase impact - to life for business users globally

Serve as the internal centre of excellence for data science - run workshops, train business teams and build the data infrastructure that makes pricing a proactive commercial engine

Global Projects Digital Transformation

Lead and contribute to digitalisation projects across Sulzers global Service Centre network - from scoping and business case through to implementation and adoption

Translate complex business problems into structured analytical solutions - develop the idea, build the business case, secure stakeholder buy-in and drive delivery

Drive commercial excellence initiatives including urgency pricing, customer multiplier models and estimated margin capability - building the pricing infrastructure for 2027 and beyond

Premier engineering foundations and hands-on data science expertise are the core of what we are looking for.

5-8 years of experience in data science, pricing analytics, commercial excellence, strategy or management consulting - in a consulting firm, industrial company or technology environment

Experience at a top-tier consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, ZS equivalent) is a strong differentiator - we are looking for candidates who can structure problems and lead change, not just build models

Proven ability to translate complex data into executive-ready insights that drive real business decisions

Technical Skills

Willingness to travel internationally on occasion; fluent English essential for global collaboration

What We Offer

Strategic access - you work directly with and present to the Global Pricing Head and Divisional leadership; your recommendations drive real decisions
