  • Partner with Engineering and Finance to model the volatile costs of AI infrastructure against customer willingness-to-pay, ensuring strong gross margins at scale.
  • Create advanced sales plays, ROI calculators, and usage estimation frameworks to help enterprise sales teams confidently pitch and negotiate consumption commitments.
  • Collaborate with RevOps, Engineering, and Finance to ensure complex metered pricing integrates smoothly with billing, CPQ infrastructure, and evolving financial recognition policies.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of leading a B2B software company through a monetization transition from seat-based pricing to consumption, metered, or hybrid pricing models.
  • Deep understanding of AI unit economics, including token processing, inference minutes, and compute costs.
  • Exceptional quantitative and financial modeling capabilities with hands-on experience using advanced Excel, SQL, or Python to analyze complex usage data.
  • Demonstrated cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to build consensus across Executive, Product, Sales, and Finance teams.
  • Hands-on experience working with modern metered billing systems such as Stripe Billing, Metronome, or Zuora, alongside Salesforce CPQ.

Qualifications
