Your Opportunity
Are you a strategic problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of sales velocity and financial rigor? We are seeking a Senior Manager, Deal Strategy & Triage to serve as the critical "first responder" and utility player for our Deal Strategy Organization. This role is the primary point of entry for all deal-related requests, responsible for triaging work items, architecting deal pricing, and bridging the gap into order management. If you are a high-energy professional who can pivot from high-level commercial strategy to hands-on operational execution, this is your chance to lead a cornerstone function of our deal lifecycle.
What You’ll Do
- Deal Triage & Intake Ownership: Act as the primary gatekeeper for the GTM organization. Own the end-to-end triage process for all deal strategy requests, ensuring every item is prioritized, assigned, and tracked against SLAs.
- Commercial Pricing & Strategy: Partner with Sales to price out complex deals. You will build financial models to evaluate margins, discount structures, and long-term contract value, ensuring deals are both competitive and profitable.
- Utility Order Management: Serve as the bridge to finance by covering order management functions. You will ensure that quoted deals translate accurately into executed orders, overseeing contract cleanliness and system alignment.
- Sales Partnership & Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to Sales leadership. You will provide real-time guidance on deal structuring, helping reps navigate internal guardrails while maximizing their ability to close business.
- Cross-Functional Orchestration: Coordinate daily with Finance, Legal, and Product teams to resolve deal blockers. You are the "air traffic controller" ensuring all stakeholders are aligned before a deal moves to final approval.
- Operational Excellence: Identify recurring friction points in the triage or pricing phase and implement "utility" fixes—whether that’s a new pricing template, a streamlined approval path, or improved order handoff documentation.
Your Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience in Deal Desk, Revenue Operations, or Sales Finance. Previous experience in a "first point of contact" or high-volume triage environment is highly preferred.
- Expert-level proficiency in Salesforce and CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) systems. You should be able to navigate complex object relationships and data flows with ease.
- Strong ability to model deal economics, including ACR, price points, and gross margin. You can quickly assess the financial health of a deal and suggest creative alternatives.
- A proven track record of operating as a "Swiss Army Knife"—equally comfortable discussing multi-year strategic enterprise shifts as you are auditing an order form for clerical errors.
- Exceptional ability to manage high-pressure situations and communicate clearly with Sales teams. You can deliver a firm "no" when necessary while maintaining a collaborative, solution-oriented relationship.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
