• Lead cross-functional collaboration to solve complex challenges in subscription management and usage-based pricing.
• Develop and execute the product roadmap for seat management and consumables utilization features.
• Create clear, detailed product specifications and user stories that bring customer needs to life.
• Analyze customer feedback and usage data to inform product decisions and prioritization.
• Measure the impact of monetization features on customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue.
• Advocate for customer needs in balancing billing transparency with business requirements.
• Author and track progress on quarterly objectives related to utilization and monetization.
• Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success to learn from and educate customers on new billing models.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of product management experience, with demonstrable expertise in subscription, billing, or usage-based pricing models.
• Experience with fulfillment/billing/subscription management platforms, ideally at an enterprise/B2B level.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and stakeholder management experience.
• Data-driven decision making with the ability to translate customer needs and broad problem areas into actionable product requirements.
• Experience with consumption-based or seat-based pricing models in B2B/enterprise software.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Track record of successfully delivering features that balance customer needs with business objectives.
• Understanding of enterprise customer purchasing patterns and compliance requirements.
• Experience working in a globally distributed team environment.
• Experience in usage tracking and reporting systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with developer tools or platforms (CI/CD, version control systems) is a plus.
