In this role, you will help keep important contract and pricing work moving while finding better ways to handle the recurring issues behind it. About half of your initial focus will be the monthly Trace Sales cycle - reviewing distributor-submitted sales in Salesforce, resolving customer, contract, eligibility, and pricing exceptions, and helping the team complete the cycle accurately and on time. The rest of your time will be focused on improving the process: spotting patterns, reducing manual work, and proposing practical technology solutions.\nThis is a strong opportunity for a curious, hands-on problem solver who wants real ownership. You will join a close, collaborative team, learn the healthcare and GPO side of the business, and have the space to grow, stretch, and turn good ideas into better ways of working.\nWhat You'll Do\nKeep Critical Operations Moving\nReview third-party distributor sales, investigate exceptions, and help complete the monthly Trace Sales cycle by established deadlines.\nResolve customer identification, contract eligibility, pricing, GPO affiliation, administrative-fee, rebate, and related commercial issues in Salesforce.\nSupport day-to-day GPO contract and pricing administration, including customer eligibility, membership rosters, pricing updates, customer/GPO relationships, and related fee and rebate reporting or reconciliation.\nMake the Work Smarter\nLook beyond the immediate issue to understand why errors, rework, or delays keep happening.\nImprove manual processes through clearer workflows, stronger controls, better matching and validation, useful reporting, or automation.\nBring forward technology ideas and help move them from concept through testing, implementation, and measurement.\nConnect Data, Systems, and People\nUse Salesforce, Excel, databases, and other analytical tools to work through complex or imperfect data, connect customer hierarchies and identifiers, and identify meaningful patterns.\nTranslate contract and business needs into clear process and system requirements, including enhancements to Salesforce CPQ and related tools.\nPartner with Pricing Administration, Trace Sales, Finance, Sales, Customer Service, Master Data, and technical teams; track trends such as volume, exceptions, rework, processing time, backlog, and errors.\nWhat You'll Bring\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Computer Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.\nThree to five years of experience in pricing, contracts, sales operations, financial operations, business systems, data analysis, process improvement, or a related area.\nStrong hands-on Salesforce experience. You can investigate data and business scenarios, work through issues, and understand how the system supports an operational process.\nAdvanced Excel skills and confidence working with large, detailed, or imperfect datasets.\nA track record of improving a manual or inefficient process and turning problems into practical, sustainable solutions.\nStrong analytical judgment, curiosity, and follow-through, with the ability to balance recurring deadline-driven work and longer-term improvements.\nClear communication skills and the ability to work effectively across business and technical teams.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience using SQL, Python, or another query or programming language to investigate data or improve a process.\nExperience working with relational databases, database administration, customer master data, or complex customer hierarchies.\nExperience with Salesforce CPQ, reporting or automation tools, exception reporting, reconciliation, matching, or system enhancements.\nExposure to contract pricing, indirect sales, rebates, chargebacks, GPOs, or a regulated or manufacturing environment. Healthcare and GPO knowledge are helpful, but they can be learned in the role.\nWhy Join Ambu?\nAt Ambu, you will have the chance to solve real operational problems - not just report on them. You will be trusted to learn the work, question what is not working, and help build a better path forward.\nIn this role, you will:\nHave autonomy to find smarter ways of working and propose the tools or technology that can help.\nSee the direct impact of your ideas through fewer errors, less manual effort, stronger controls, and more reliable processes.\nJoin a close, collaborative team that shares knowledge, works through challenges together, and values curiosity and follow-through.\nBuild healthcare and GPO expertise while stretching your Salesforce, data, process-improvement, and business-partnership skills.\nIf you are energized by detailed problem-solving and want the freedom to make work better, we'd love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5234,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Surgical Instruments & Devices","Patient Monitoring"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-14T03:51:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":12,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T10:51:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11624,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2093467},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2093467"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fambu-contract-pricing-operations-analyst"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4301873}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ambu.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4301873},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
