Senior Commercial Pricing & Profitability Advisor.

nCino is looking for a Commercial Pricing & Profitability Advisor to join our Professional Services team. This role pairs deep expertise in commercial loan pricing with hands on work to bring nCino’s Commercial Pricing & Profitability tool to life for financial institutions. The specialist advises bank leadership on best practices, turns pricing requirements into solution designs and functional specifications, and works with the technical team to see them built. Some engagements call for shaping a bank’s approach around what the tool does well, while others call for adapting the tool to fit how the institution prices today. Workshops, training, and clear project updates keep clients confident and adoption on track.

The ideal candidate has spent meaningful time in commercial banking with a working command of how institutions price loans and measure profitability. A real interest in software as a way to improve banking processes matters just as much. Strong communication and the ability to lead projects independently round out the profile.
