- Partner with RevOps & BizAps to automate configurations, guardrails, and data flows
- Build scalable CPQ logic, product catalogue enhancements, and approval routing
- Act as the quarterback between Sales, Finance, Legal, and CS for all deal‑related matters
- Run commercial reviews and act as a strategic advisor on complex deals
- Provide training and enablement to Sales on quoting workflows and commercial policies

- Faster deal cycles, fewer errors, improved pricing discipline, and higher operational efficiency
- Sales, Finance, Legal, and CS working from the same commercial playbook
- 7–10+ years of Deal Desk, Commercial Operations, Revenue Operations, or Pricing experience
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, assess legacy contract complexity, and build scalable systems from scratch
- Proven success building or transforming a deal management function in a SaaS or global tech company
- Deep expertise with CPQ systems (DealHub strongly preferred) and Salesforce
- Strong understanding of commercial terms, B2B SaaS pricing, contract structures, discounts, margins, and billing implications
