Partner with sales and deal desk leaders to spot where pricing can accelerate deal velocity, expand penetration, and lift profitability

Establish the templates, models, and approval processes that make pricing decisions rigorous, repeatable, and fast to align on with the VP of Sales, CS & Renewals, and CRO

Exceptional leadership & communication skills and experience navigating and influencing in a team-based, cross-functional, and fully distributed environment

A natural partner: you build trust with sales, finance, product, and executive stakeholders and turn differing views into shared decisions

Strong research capabilities including qualitative customer interviews and customer value research, and top-notch quantitative modeling techniques

Ability to manage multiple projects & priorities, seamlessly moving between strategy & execution

Experience with B2B SaaS / data subscription business model(s) is highly preferred
