About the roleNominal's Editions and usage-based pricing only work if customers can see, predict, and control what they consume. The Product Manager - Manage Usage & Cost owns the customer journey for activating Nominal and for understanding, controlling, and optimizing consumption and costs, turning pricing and packaging strategy into transparent, predictable, self-service product experiences.

- Make compute, storage, networking, and AI usage understandable to admins, developers, and buyers, with APIs and internal dashboards that support forecasting, allocation, and optimization.
