ABOUT THE ROLE
Ironclad is seeking a Director of Pricing to lead pricing strategy and execution in a rapidly growing business. Reporting to the SVP of Sales, this is a hands-on leadership role that pairs analytical rigor with strong commercial partnership.

You will work closely with regional and national sales leaders, account managers, and the data team to turn pricing strategy into measurable results, and you'll have meaningful latitude to evolve and elevate the function as the business grows.
