About Paid

The monetization platform built for AI-native companies. Optimize pricing, packaging, and cost tracking to maximize revenue. Backed by Lightspeed and Sequoia.

About the role

We're hiring a Monetization Strategist. You’ll be the person prospects and customers turn to when they need to answer the hardest commercial questions in software: how much do we charge for AI, how, and how do we justify it. This is a founding role: you’ll be the first strategist based full-time in San Francisco.

What they're looking for

  • Directly relevant experience in at least one but ideally both of: a pricing or commercial strategy consultancy practice working on software pricing, or an in-house role owning pricing or monetization at a software company
  • Ability to engage with senior stakeholders one-on-one: we need to trust you to be alone in a room with an intelligent and skeptical founder
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects end-to-end, from design through delivery
  • Strong analytical capabilities and attention to detail, alongside pragmatism about when they’re required
  • Significant interest in the AI ecosystem, fluency in recent developments, and an understanding of underlying unit economics
  • The willingness and ability as a front-line operator to build spreadsheets, presentations, processes, playbooks, etc., from scratch yourself utilizing AI
