Role Description Lumen is building its cloud marketplace presence, and we're hiring a Sr Lead Monetization Manager to own the strategy and end-to-end execution for landing Lumen products in hyperscaler and SaaS/ISV marketplaces. This is a high-impact, build-it role. You will define what we sell, how we price, how we paper deals, and how we operationalize the motion. This role will partner closely with Product, Legal, Sales, and Finance. A real-world example of what success looks like: a customer wants to use their Cloud Consumption commitment with a hyperscaler to purchase a Lumen product through that hyperscaler Marketplace. This could be a public offer, a private custom offer, or a motion you have built that moves the customer end to end. Building the process and flow so that there is maximum flexibility from listing, pricing, T&Cs, order flow, fulfillment, and billing reconciliation – to make it a repeatable play and drive customer efficiency. Main Responsibilities - Marketplace Strategy: - Define Lumen's go-to-market strategy across Azure, AWS, GCP, and SaaS/ISV marketplaces - Identify which Lumen products to list, in what form (transactable, private offer, BYOL, consumption-based), and prioritize based on customer demand and partner economics - Build the business case and roadmap for each marketplace, in partnership with Product and AGT - Commercial & Pricing Constructs: - Design marketplace-specific pricing models, packaging, and private-offer constructs that work for both Lumen and the partner's commit programs (MACC, EDP, Google Commit) - Partner with Legal to develop marketplace T&Cs, EULAs, and private-offer templates that scale - End-to-End Operating Motion: - Stand up the operational mechanics: listing process, private offer creation, order papering, fulfillment handoff, billing reconciliation, and revenue recognition - Build the playbook so Sales, Deal Desk, and Pricing Ops can execute repeatably without one-off escalations - Own the partner relationship for marketplace operations at MSFT, AWS, and GCP - Cross-Functional Leadership: - Drive alignment across Product (what to list), Legal (how to paper), Sales (how to motion), Finance (how to recognize), and Pricing Ops (how to execute) Year-One Success Looks Like - A repeatable, end-to-end marketplace motion is live across at least one hyperscaler — from listing through MACC/EDP consumption to billing - A prioritized set of Lumen products is listed with private-offer T&Cs papered and ready to transact - A documented playbook the broader org can execute against Qualifications - 5–7 years of experience in cloud marketplace monetization, partner GTM, or commercial strategy at a hyperscaler, ISV, or SaaS company - Hands-on experience with at least one major marketplace (Azure, AWS, or GCP) — listing products, structuring private offers, and navigating commit programs (MACC, EDP) - Strong commercial instincts: pricing, packaging, and deal construct design - Track record of working closely with Legal on commercial T&Cs and order papering - Operational mindset — comfortable building processes from zero, not just strategy decks - Excellent cross-functional partnering skills (Product, Legal, Sales, Finance) Nice to Have - Direct experience with Microsoft MACC private offers, AWS Private Marketplace, or GCP Private Offers - Background in networking, connectivity, or infrastructure products - Experience with SaaS/ISV marketplaces (AppExchange, ServiceNow Store, Snowflake Marketplace) Compensation This information reflects the anticipated base salary range for this position based on current national data.
