Senior Pricing & Packaging Director

Tricentis • Austin, TX

6h • Hybrid

About The Position

Tricentis is undergoing a significant commercial transformation, involving the unification of an acquired portfolio, the launch of new products, AI integration, and a shift towards consumption-based pricing. This role is crucial for managing how the Tricentis portfolio is monetized, by designing pricing and packaging strategies that balance revenue predictability for Tricentis, budget predictability for customers, business time-to-market, and the migration needs of the existing customer base. The ideal candidate will have a commercial operator mindset, functioning as the primary operational partner to the EVP, Product Business Performance. The role includes managing one direct report, a pricing analyst, and collaborating with the Project Management Organization. The position operates across US, EMEA, and APAC time zones and follows a hybrid work model, requiring candidates to be based near Austin or Boston and work onsite three days a week.

• Track record of designing pricing and packaging across a multi-product portfolio, including post-M&A harmonization, with demonstrated ability to navigate tradeoffs between consistency, migration risk, and time to market.
• Demonstrated commercial mindset with experience articulating customer buying behavior, deal losses, and the impact of packaging/pricing on outcomes.
• Experience spending time with customers and sellers.
• Strong analytical foundation, with hands-on Excel and financial modeling skills.
• SQL fluency strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior cross-functional leaders (CFO, CPO, CRO, VP-level peers) through clear thinking and strong written communication.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working in an international, multi-time zone organization across multiple sales geographies.

Responsibilities

• Own pricing and packaging across the portfolio, including designing, defending, and evolving the pricing architecture (list pricing, packaging structures, discount frameworks, bundling, and cross-sell rules).

• Operationalize the transition to consumption pricing by translating strategic direction into analyses, packaging mechanics, migration models, and rollout plans.
• Develop a strategic perspective on AI monetization, including its impact on willingness to pay, metering, value attribution, and unit economics.
• Partner with Finance on revenue and margin modeling, Product Management on roadmap-aligned packaging, Product Marketing on positioning and willingness-to-pay, and Operations on telemetry for recommendations.
• Constructively challenge cross-functional teams on price elasticity, willingness to pay, and competitive positioning.
• Incorporate the customer perspective into packaging decisions, ensuring they are grounded in customer buying behavior, migration patterns, and churn risks.
• Execute pricing decisions through the PMO, translating them into changes in systems, contracts, sales motions, and customer communications.
• Run the weekly Pricing Steering Committee, preparing agendas, materials, and recommendations.
• Prepare the monthly Executive Pricing Committee by framing decisions and surfacing tradeoffs for consequential monetization choices.
• Define and maintain the governance framework for pricing changes, experiments, and exception handling.
• Document the audit trail for monetization decisions, including rationale and outcomes.
• Align with strategic GTM partners to ensure portfolio pricing decisions are coherent with partner strategies.
• Design pricing for joint offerings with partners to ensure mutual economic viability.
• Build business cases, including financial models, scenario analyses, and customer impact assessments, to support pricing recommendations.
• Partner with Operations to establish telemetry (usage data, deal patterns, win/loss signals) to ground decisions in evidence.
• Utilize internal AI tools (including Claude) to accelerate analysis, modeling, and communication.

Benefits

• You will work directly with C-Staff on the company’s most consequential commercial decisions, with a real seat at the table from day one.
• You will help shape how a market-leading software company prices the next generation of AI-native, agentic products.
• You will have access to modern AI tooling (including Claude) and the expectation that you will use it to multiply your leverage.
• You will be supported by an offshore analyst and the PMO to drive your workstreams.
