Apply NowBe part of a movement that moves the world
At ASICS, we’re more than just a brand; we're a movement. A movement of movement, propelled by the belief that motion strengthens the body and uplifts the mind. Our name itself, an acronym for "Anima Sana in Corpore Sano" (a Sound Mind in a Sound Body), encapsulates this commitment. Since taking our first step in Japan in 1949, our journey has been about more than just reaching the finish lines or clocking the fastest times. It's about the joy of moving and it's open to all.
If you're inspired to move yourself and the world toward a brighter, more inclusive future, we're looking for you.
Here at ASICS, we welcome diversity in our people, their backgrounds and life experiences. So, you could be the right person for this role regardless of your age, nationality, religious beliefs, or gender identification.
Your role in our shared journey
Located at our EMEA headquarters in Hoofddorp, near Amsterdam, you'll contribute to our mission by developing and owning the end-to-end pricing strategy across Europe's Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer channels. In this newly created strategic role, you'll establish pricing architecture and governance frameworks whilst leading the implementation of AI-enabled pricing tools, transforming complex data into actionable insights that protect brand equity and drive margin improvement across the business.
Working closely with Category, Commercial, Finance, and Merchandising & Planning, the Pricing Manager will build the pricing frameworks, tools, and operating cadence that the business needs to make better commercial decisions. With a new AI-enabled pricing tool being introduced, this person will play a central role in making that technology work for ASICS across both Wholesale and DTC.
This is a genuinely new role and there is no established playbook to inherit. The person who joins will have real freedom and influence to shape how pricing strategy and governance works across the ASICS European business, with high autonomy, high visibility, and real commercial impact at the core of this opportunity. Your role will be instrumental in weaving the fabric of our movement, bringing unique perspectives and driving innovation with every step.

-Develop and own the comprehensive end-to-end pricing strategy across both Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer channels throughout Europe.

-Transform complex pricing data into clear, actionable recommendations and insights for commercial decision-making.
-Lead the implementation and adoption of the new AI-enabled pricing tool across the organisation.
