Senior Pricing Strategy Manager

Candescent is the leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions. We are transforming digital banking with intelligent, cloud-powered solutions that connect account opening, digital banking, and branch experiences for financial institutions. Our advanced technology and developer tools enable seamless, differentiated customer journeys that elevate trust, service, and innovation.  

Success here requires flexibility in a fast-paced environment, a client-first mindset, and a commitment to delivering consistent, reliable results as part of a performance-driven, values-led team. With team members around the world, Candescent is an equal opportunity employer. 

The Senior Pricing Strategy Manager will architect and operationalize the pricing frameworks that power Candescent’s platform growth. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, finance, and go-to-market execution—turning market intelligence and customer insight into scalable pricing models. 

You will design and test outcome-based pricing structures, define segmentation and willingness-to-pay strategies, and establish the operational underpinnings for metering, billing, and renewals. Your work will inform how we position value across our fintech ecosystem—bridging product, data, and GTM to drive sustainable growth and platform adoption. 

You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Finance, and Revenue Operations to bring structure and clarity to how we monetize innovation—balancing profitability, scalability, and customer success.
