Monetization Lead

Every financial product carries an invisible design choice: how it’s priced. That choice isn’t just a revenue play—it shapes how customers perceive value. At Mercury, we’re building the financial infrastructure for modern builders: financial products and tools that drive value for founders. We believe the future of banking* won’t just store money, it will be how people build great things. We want our customers to realize the value of our products and therefore monetization can’t just be an afterthought or a lever to pull at the end; it’s a core part of the customer experience and of how our business scales.

That’s why we are looking for a Monetization lead to own this work. In this role, you’ll shape the frameworks that guide how we price, package, and monetize products across Mercury. You’ll analyze markets, design experiments, and build models—but just as importantly, you’ll influence how product and business leaders think about value.

• Lead periodic price reviews and support new product launches with pricing and packaging recommendations
• Partner with Deal Desk and Finance to set and uphold pricing guardrails/discount policies, advise on exception requests so they fit forecast, and equip Sales with lightweight tools and training (e.g., calculators, one-pagers)
• Lead the transition of successful pricing and packaging concepts into scalable, organization-wide execution in collaboration with cross-functional partners
• Stay current with industry trends, competitive benchmarks, and SaaS pricing best practices
