Support launch planning across pricing, availability, regional rollout, sales motions, customer support, and post-purchase experience.
Build decision-making frameworks for promotions, bundles, financing, tradeoffs, and lifecycle pricing changes.
Collaborate with Integrated Marketing and Comms to ensure pricing, packaging, and availability messages are clear and customer-friendly.
Track launch and post-launch business performance, identifying opportunities to improve adoption, conversion, revenue, margin, and customer experience.
Serve as a connective tissue between marketing, finance, product, and operations to ensure commercial decisions are aligned and well-executed.
You Might Thrive In This Role If You:

Have experience bringing consumer hardware, devices, subscriptions, platforms, or other complex products to market.
Are strong analytically and can build clear recommendations from imperfect data, financial models, customer insight, and business constraints.
Understand pricing, packaging, revenue modeling, margin dynamics, demand planning, and distribution tradeoffs.
Can operate across strategic and operational details, from executive-level commercial recommendations to launch execution checklists.
Are an excellent cross-functional partner who can work closely with Product, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Legal, Sales, Support, and Marketing.
Communicate clearly and can make complex commercial decisions understandable to both business and creative audiences.
Are comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where the product, category, business model, and operating model are being built in parallel.
