About the role
Gap Inc. is transforming how its brands use data and AI to make faster, more precise commercial decisions, and the Manager - Pricing Analytics is where that work gets built. This role owns the pricing analysis tied to the brand's strategic pricing principles and serves as the analytical engine of the pricing intelligence function. The scope spans three areas: Strategic pricing principles. Drive the definition of the brand's strategic pricing principles and pricing architecture as part of the refresh of its pricing strategy, including how success is defined and measured, and drive adoption across cross-functional teams. Strategic discount budget. Own the strategic positioning of discount spend across the mechanisms used to price products and communicate pricing to customers. In-season analytics. Reconcile in-season execution against forecasted performance and actuals, and make recommendations to Merchandise Planning and Company Planning (Finance) through "what if" scenarios and financial modeling of pricing strategies. Reporting to the Brand Pricing Performance Lead, you will own outcomes across these areas, working within a single brand. You will manage relationships with cross-functional partners across Merchandising, Planning, Company Planning, Commerce & Experience, and Pricing Operations, and turn complex internal and external data into clear, decision-ready insight that drives strategic alignment on what the brand should do.
Own Pricing Principles, Discount Budget, and Pricing Architecture
- Develop and run repeatable analytics that inform pricing strategy, pricing architecture, and pricing tactics, applying rigorous methods to produce recommendations grounded in accurate data.
- Develop and own the pricing guardrails adopted by the cross-functional team, including measuring their effectiveness and driving adoption.
- Own the strategic discount budget for the brand, and the in-season reconciliation of actions taken against it.
- Define how success is measured for the brand's pricing principles, and report on it.
Deliver In-Season Analytics and Reporting
- Reconcile in-season pricing execution with forecasted performance and actuals, and flag where the brand is off plan.
- Build "what if" scenarios and financial models of pricing strategies, and package recommendations for Merchandise Planning and Company Planning (Finance).
- Develop and manage aggregated data analysis and reporting that turns findings into actionable, visual reports and research-driven recommendations.
Support Competitive Price Positioning
- Analyze internal and external data to set and maintain competitive price positioning, building the models and benchmarks the team relies on.
- Track and report on competitive price positioning, validating that the brand is executing against aligned benchmarks and flagging where it is not.
Partner Cross-Functionally
- Own relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners on strategic pricing and analytics projects.
- Work autonomously with peers and share clear findings with the leadership team across Merchandising, Planning, Company Planning, Commerce & Experience, and Pricing Operations.
- Translate analytics into the "what" and the "so what" for business owners and finance partners.
- Identify opportunities for continuous process improvement and support cross-functional decision-making.
Apply AI and Build the Function

- Simplify and automate repeatable processes, contributing to the tools and workflows the function will run on as it scales.
- Review and provide feedback on analyses from the analyst on the team, and collaborate with them on ad-hoc pricing projects.
Who you are
Experience & Qualifications

- 6+ years of experience in pricing analytics, competitive intelligence, or a related field, with direct exposure to retail or consumer products pricing.

Leadership & Mindset
- Analytically exacting: you hold a high personal bar for accuracy, take ownership of your models and assumptions, and don’t let outputs go forward until you’re confident they’re right.
- Commercially curious: you connect your analytical work to business outcomes (margin, revenue, promotional ROI, customer impact), and you develop recommendations that reflect that understanding, not just technical outputs.
- Clear and direct communicator: you can distill analytical complexity into plain, well-structured commercial framing that non-analytical partners can read and act on.
- AI-partnership mindset: you engage with agentic tools and pricing agents as a critical collaborator, fluent enough to use them effectively, rigorous enough to catch when they’re wrong, and grounded in ethical and brand-aligned judgment.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding People Operations Manager Jobs at Gap
Align your HR credentials to retail operations
Gap's People Ops hiring prioritizes experience with high-volume hourly workforce management, not just corporate HR generalist backgrounds. Frame your resume around workforce planning, scheduling compliance, and frontline employee relations to match what retail hiring managers actually screen for.
Target Gap's corporate and brand headquarters specifically
Gap Inc. concentrates People Operations Manager hiring at its San Francisco headquarters and regional support offices, not individual store locations. Applying to corporate-side roles dramatically improves your odds of landing a position structured for visa sponsorship from the start.
Clarify sponsorship eligibility before your final interview
Ask the recruiter directly whether the specific People Operations Manager requisition is approved for visa sponsorship before your final round. Gap's TA team can confirm this early, saving you from investing heavily in a role that won't move forward on your visa type.
Understand how PERM affects your long-term planning
If you're targeting a Green Card pathway through an EB-2 or EB-3, Gap must initiate a PERM labor certification through DOL before sponsoring you. People Ops roles with specialized HR credentials often qualify for EB-2, which can significantly shorten your permanent residency timeline.
Use Migrate Mate to filter People Ops roles by visa type
Searching across Gap's full job board for sponsorship-eligible roles is inefficient. Use Migrate Mate to filter People Operations Manager openings by the visa categories Gap sponsors, so you're only applying where your work authorization actually fits.
Time your application around Gap's annual hiring cycles
Gap ramps up People Operations hiring ahead of peak retail seasons, particularly before the back-to-school and holiday periods. Submitting applications between March and June positions you for roles that need to be filled and onboarded before fiscal year-end staffing crunches begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gap sponsor H-1B visas for People Operations Managers?
Yes, Gap sponsors H-1B visas for People Operations Manager roles, particularly those based at its corporate and regional offices. The H-1B requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, which People Operations Manager roles typically satisfy given the degree requirements in HR, business, or a related field. Because the H-1B is subject to an annual cap and lottery, your employer must file in April for an October 1 start date, so timing your offer accordingly matters.
How do I apply for People Operations Manager jobs at Gap?
Apply directly through Gap Inc.'s careers site or use Migrate Mate to browse People Operations Manager openings filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility. When applying, tailor your resume to reflect experience with retail workforce management, employee relations, and HR compliance programs. If you're on a visa that requires employer action before your start date, flag your work authorization status early in the process so Gap's talent acquisition team can loop in their immigration counsel without delays.
Which visa types does Gap commonly sponsor for People Operations Manager roles?
Gap sponsors several visa categories for People Operations Managers, including H-1B, H-1B1 visa for Singaporean and Chilean nationals, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, and TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals with qualifying credentials. For students completing degrees in HR or business, Gap also supports F-1 OPT and CPT arrangements. Longer-term, Gap sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for employees it intends to retain permanently.
What qualifications does Gap expect for People Operations Manager roles?
Gap typically looks for a bachelor's degree in human resources, business administration, or organizational psychology, with several years of progressive HR experience in a multi-unit or high-volume environment. Retail-specific experience, particularly in workforce planning, compliance, or labor relations, carries significant weight. Familiarity with HRIS platforms, proficiency in employment law across multiple states, and demonstrated experience supporting frontline managers through HR processes are consistently valued across Gap's People Ops hiring.
How do I understand the visa filing timeline after receiving an offer from Gap?
Once you have an offer, Gap's immigration counsel initiates the visa petition process, which varies by category. For H-1B, USCIS requires filing between April 1 and April 7, with an October 1 employment start. For E-3, processing at a U.S. consulate abroad can move faster, often within a few weeks. For TN status, Canadian nationals can typically be approved at the port of entry. Confirm your visa type's specific timeline with Gap's HR team immediately after accepting an offer so neither party misses critical filing windows.
