Product Manager, Monetization & Retention
BengaluruFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
PM responsible for the full monetization stack including pricing, billing, retention, and lifecycle strategies to turn one-time users into repeat payers and long-term revenue for Sarvam's sovereign AI platform.
Responsibilities
- Plans, pricing, and packaging. Design the pricing architecture across our products. Build tiers that map to user willingness to pay. Run pricing experiments. Decide what's free, what's metered, what's locked behind a plan.
- Subscription and billing systems. Own the metering, billing, invoicing, and expiry logic. Work with platform engineering on the wallet, coupons, GST, Razorpay/UPI flows, and renewal mechanics. Make sure the plumbing scales as we add products.
- Retention and churn. Build the playbook for keeping users. Diagnose where they drop off. Ship in-product interventions (paywalls, nudges, downgrade flows, win-back offers) and off-product ones (lifecycle email, WhatsApp, payment recovery). Reduce involuntary churn from failed payments.
- First-time vs repeat monetization. Design distinct strategies for converting first-time payers and growing repeat purchase value.
- Loyalty and affiliate programs. Stand up loyalty mechanics that move the needle on LTV. Build affiliate and partnership models where they make sense for our distribution.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in product management with at least 2-3 years owning monetization, subscriptions, or growth at a startup
- You've shipped pricing changes and lived with the results. You know what worked and what blew up
- Deep working knowledge of metering, billing, plans, pricing, subscriptions, expiry, and coupons. You've debated Lago vs Orb vs Stripe Billing and have opinions
- You've reduced churn before and can talk specifics: cohorts, triggers, interventions, win-back rates
- You understand both on-app interventions (paywalls, upsells, downgrade flows) and off-app interventions (lifecycle messaging, payment retries, dunning)
- Clear thinker on first-time payer conversion vs repeat purchase economics. You don't conflate the two
- Numbers at your fingertips. You don't open a deck without the latest cohort data. ARPU, LTV, payback, retention curves, dunning recovery rates: you live in these dashboards and pull SQL yourself when you need to
