Full Job Description
About the Team

The Pricing & Monetization team is responsible for how our products create and capture value. We partner closely with Product, GTM, and Finance to design pricing models, packaging, and commercial strategies that support adoption, growth, and long-term scaling of the business.

To thrive on this team, you need to be a proactive problem-solver who excels at bringing structure to ambiguous challenges. Our work demands strategic thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and precision in execution. Team members succeed when they are analytical, detail-oriented, skilled at balancing multiple priorities, and passionate about driving high-stakes projects forward to deliver meaningful results.

About the Role

We are looking for a Pricing Strategist with hands-on consumer pricing experience to shape how we price, package, and monetize our products across our consumer offerings. You'll work closely with senior leaders across Product, GTM, and Finance to define pricing approaches, improve commercial decision-making, and bring more rigor to how we monetize our offerings.

You should be comfortable building monetization frameworks and commercial policies, analyzing tradeoffs, supporting and driving high-impact decision-making. You should also care deeply about the customer perspective and believe that strong pricing reflects a real understanding of customer value, needs, and friction points in order to build pricing that is clear, fair, and aligned with how customers experience our products. This role will report to the Head of Product Pricing for Chat & Codex.

What you'll do
  • Develop pricing and packaging strategy across subscription tiers, usage limits and entitlements, credits and overages, and emerging monetization models, balancing customer value, growth, and unit economics.
  • Develop innovative commercial constructs to better serve our customers.
  • Partner with Product, GTM, and Finance leaders to ensure pricing aligns with product value, the roadmap, commercial motions, and overall growth plans.
  • Develop clear recommendations that are grounded in customer preferences, product value, and market dynamics.
  • Establish lightweight but effective pricing governance, including decision frameworks, approval processes, and performance tracking.


You might thrive in this role if you
  • Have 6+ years of experience in a strategy role (e.g., consulting or business operations).
  • Have 3+ years of hands-on consumer pricing and monetization experience, with a track record of developing and launching self-serve subscription or usage-based offerings; experience with sales-led motions is a plus.
  • Are deeply familiar with various monetization models, including seat-based subscriptions and usage-based pricing models.
  • Experience pricing consumer hardware, connected devices, or hardware-plus-software/subscription bundles is a plus.
  • Can balance customer value, product strategy, and commercial outcomes in a thoughtful way.
  • Are comfortable influencing senior cross-functional stakeholders and navigating ambiguous decisions.
  • Are a self-starter who can roll up their sleeves and operate comfortably in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment.
