Principal Business Model Strategist (Pricing & Monetization)

MathWorks is seeking a senior, product‑minded leader to shape pricing, packaging, and licensing across Desktop, and SaaS offerings. You will work at the intersection of product strategy and monetization, defining models that balance customer value, adoption, and long‑term growth. The role leads pricing and licensing frameworks for new launches, SaaS monetization, global price updates, and major business‑model transitions.

Responsibilities

• Own pricing and licensing strategy as a product lever across B2B and B2C offerings, aligning monetization with product value, customer workflows, and long‑term business objectives.
• Lead quantitative analyses—forecasting, scenario modeling, and impact assessment—to evaluate tradeoffs across revenue, margin, adoption, and customer experience.
• Partner with Business Model, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Product teams to align pricing recommendations with broader company goals.
• Assess competitive pricing, market trends, and monetization patterns to identify risks, opportunities, and inflection points.
• Drive pricing initiatives from concept through implementation, working with cross‑functional teams to ensure changes are operationally feasible and accurately executed in systems and processes.
• Forecast revenue, margin, and adoption outcomes for proposed pricing changes across global markets.
• Prepare clear, compelling analyses and recommendations for senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of pricing analytics, frameworks, and methodologies.

Minimum Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree and 10 years of professional work experience (or equivalent experience) is required.

Additional Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Economics, Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Business, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred.
• Proven experience influencing product, packaging, pricing, or monetization decisions using qualitative insight and quantitative analysis.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, including experience presenting to senior and cross‑functional audiences.
• Advanced proficiency with Excel and experience using analytical, statistical, or data‑visualization tools.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross‑functional initiatives through influence rather than authority.
• Experience with SaaS pricing, monetization models, usage‑based pricing, or cloud licensing.
• Experience leading or supporting major business‑model transitions.
• Familiarity with enterprise software and global pricing structures.
• Knowledge of statistical analysis, forecasting methods, or pricing optimization techniques.
