Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
Our customers' data volumes grow each time they simulate, test, manufacture, or operate hardware, and AI is changing how much value they get from that data. The way enterprise software is priced is changing with it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in business operations, strategy, pricing, or strategic finance at a high-growth B2B software company, ideally after starting in consulting, banking, or a similar analytical role
- Strong analytical horsepower: You're fluent in financial modeling and systems architecture, and you can go from raw usage data to a clear recommendation without waiting on anyone
- Real GTM fluency: You understand enterprise sales motions, deal mechanics, and how comp plans shape seller behavior
- The ability to lead through influence: You've aligned Sales, Product, Engineering, and Finance on decisions none of them owned alone, and gotten them to done
- Clear, structured communication: You can write a pricing recommendation an executive can decide on in five minutes, and explain it to a sales team in a way that sticks
- AI-native work habits: You use AI tools daily to move faster and build things rather than wait for tooling to arrive
