What this job can offer you
  • A senior IC role with real strategic influence — you'll work directly with the Senior Manager to shape how the Deal Desk operates and evolves
  • The opportunity to lead cross-functional initiatives and drive meaningful process improvements across the Sales organization
  • A clear path towards people management as the team matures
  • A truly async, flexible work environment where ownership and proactivity are valued over process for its own sake
What you bring
  • 5+ years of experience in Deal Desk, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or a related function in an Enterprise SaaS/B2B company required; previous Lead or Supervisor experience is a plus
  • A proven deal desk operator with a track record of handling complex, high-stakes situations across deal structure, pricing, and contract exceptions
  • Strong understanding of Quote-to-Cash processes, revenue recognition principles, and order management
  • Deep hands-on knowledge of Salesforce (SFDC) and CPQ systems, including troubleshooting and workflow optimization
  • Natural relationship builder with the ability to engage, influence, and collaborate effectively with senior stakeholders across Go-to-Market, Legal, and Finance
  • Data-driven and analytically sharp — you turn deal trends and operational signals into clear recommendations, not just observations
  • Excellent communicator with outstanding written and spoken English

  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, fully remote, and globally distributed environment
  • Demonstrates strong automation and AI capabilities

Key Responsibilities
  • Act as the team's operational leader and the Senior Manager's closest extension — the go-to for escalations, the standard-setter for quality, and the primary mentor for Associates and Specialists
  • Represent the Senior Manager in cross-functional forums with Sales VPs and Sales Leadership — aligning on Deal Desk priorities and surfacing team needs and blockers
  • Serve as a senior point of contact and escalation for complex deals, non-standard pricing requests, and contract exceptions
  • Oversee deal approval processes and pricing compliance, stepping in on escalations and exceptions that require senior judgment
  • Ensure the team maintains SLA standards, stepping in to unblock or resolve complex or time-sensitive cases as needed
  • Act as the eyes and ears of the Sales team — proactively identifying deal friction, recurring blockers, and emerging risks before they escalate
  • Own the working relationship with Legal and Finance on behalf of the Senior Manager — aligning on policy, setting expectations, and ensuring the team has the guidance needed to handle non-standard situations independently
  • Develop and maintain deal playbooks and sales enablement resources, ensuring the Sales team has the guidance they need before they need to ask
  • Build and scale automated workflows that reduce manual effort and allow the team to focus on higher-value work
  • Track Deal Desk performance metrics and deal trends, translating data into actionable recommendations and feeding directly into the Senior Manager's planning and prioritisation
  • Act as the Senior Manager's operational extension — driving the Deal Desk improvement roadmap across processes, tooling, automation, and policy, and leading initiatives through to execution
  • Support month-end and quarter-end close operations to ensure smooth and accurate deal execution
