Job Description
Role Overview
Step into the dynamic world of pricing strategy at Arrow Electronics as a Pricing Specialist in Peabody, Massachusetts. This pivotal role serves as the critical liaison between Arrow's world-class suppliers and our high-performing sales organization. Every day, you'll be at the heart of maintaining positive business relationships while ensuring pricing accuracy across multiple systems. Working heavily with Microsoft Excel, Oracle, and Salesforce, you'll analyze market trends, develop quoting strategies, and keep pricing information current in our fast-paced technology distribution environment.
Arrow Electronics stands as a global leader in electronic components distribution, serving industries from aerospace to consumer electronics. Our Peabody facility on Technology Drive represents the cutting edge of supply chain innovation, where Pricing Specialists play a starring role in driving profitability and customer satisfaction. This isn't just data entry—it's strategic business partnership at its finest.
Day in the Life
Imagine starting your morning with a fresh Americano at your desk overlooking the bustling Technology Drive campus. By 8:30 AM, your inbox lights up with supplier quote requests from the sales team chasing major OEM opportunities. You dive into Excel, leveraging Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs to analyze competitive pricing data while monitoring supplier performance metrics.
Mid-morning brings a supplier call where you negotiate favorable terms for high-volume interconnect components. Lunchtime offers collaboration with the purchasing team over fresh salads from the onsite cafeteria. Afternoon hours fly by as you update Oracle pricing masters, respond to urgent Salesforce quote requests, and prepare your daily market trend report. Before 5 PM, you wrap up by forecasting adder strategy impacts for next quarter's planning meeting—all while maintaining that perfect balance of hybrid work flexibility.
Why Peabody, Massachusetts?
Peabody, Massachusetts offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and Boston-area innovation. Just 20 minutes from Logan International Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Boston, you'll enjoy easy commutes via Route 1 or the MBTA commuter rail. Our Technology Drive location places you in the heart of Massachusetts' Route 128 technology corridor, home to giants like Raytheon and Analog Devices.
Peabody itself charms with its rich history—visit the Peabody Essex Museum or stroll the historic downtown. Families love the excellent school systems and proximity to world-class beaches like Singing Beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Foodies rave about the North Shore's seafood scene, from Woodman's of Essex clam shacks to sophisticated dining in nearby Salem. With median home prices 30% below Boston proper, Peabody delivers big-city access with small-town affordability.
The hybrid schedule means two work-from-home days enjoying your renovated colonial or modern townhome, while three vibrant office days foster collaboration in our state-of-the-art facility. Massachusetts' four-season beauty—crimson autumn leaves, snowy winters perfect for skiing at nearby Blue Hills, and summer sailing on Massachusetts Bay—creates an unbeatable lifestyle backdrop for your Arrow career.
Career Growth Path
Arrow Electronics invests heavily in talent development, and Pricing Specialists follow clear upward trajectories. Excel in your first 12-18 months and advance to Senior Pricing Specialist, taking ownership of major supplier portfolios and strategic pricing initiatives. High performers move into Pricing Manager roles overseeing regional teams or specialize as Market Intelligence Analysts driving enterprise-wide strategies.
Cross-functional paths abound: transition to Strategic Account Management serving Fortune 500 clients, Supplier Development Manager negotiating global contracts, or Product Management roles leveraging your industry expertise. Many alumni lead our Global Pricing Center of Excellence or serve as Vice Presidents of Commercial Operations. With tuition reimbursement and internal MBA sponsorships, your ceiling matches your ambition.
Compensation & Benefits
Arrow delivers competitive compensation starting at $80,100 - $100,100 annually, with performance bonuses pushing total compensation higher. This range reflects Peabody's cost of living while remaining attractive against Boston benchmarks. Our comprehensive benefits package sets us apart:
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision coverage with low premiums
- 401k with generous matching contributions vesting immediately
- Short and long-term disability insurance
- HSA/HRA options with company seed funding
- Generous PTO policy including 15 vacation days, 10 sick days, 10 holidays
- Tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 annually
Hybrid flexibility, modern facilities, and career mobility create unmatched value beyond the paycheck.
Team & Culture
Join a collaborative team of 25 pricing professionals who celebrate wins together—from landing supplier price reductions to hitting quarterly quoting targets. Our Peabody office buzzes with energy: open floor plans encourage spontaneous brainstorming, while wellness rooms offer midday yoga breaks. Monthly team lunches feature rotating cuisines, and our annual Supplier Summit gathers top performers for strategy sessions and celebration.
Arrow's culture emphasizes work-life integration. Managers coach rather than micromanage, trusting your expertise to deliver results. Diversity thrives—our team spans generations, backgrounds, and technical disciplines united by passion for electronics distribution excellence. Recognition programs spotlight individual contributions, from "Quote of the Quarter" to President's Club invitations.
