The Opportunity

We're looking for a strategic and collaborative Deal Desk Manager, to build and scale our deal desk operations from the ground up. Reporting to the Controller, you'll be a key player in driving efficient deal execution while ensuring strong financial outcomes. This is a high-impact role that partners closely with Sales, Finance, and Legal to guide deal structure, pricing strategy, and contract processes.

If you're energized by building systems, aligning cross-functional teams, and helping deals move faster and smarter, this is your opportunity to lead the charge.

This is a hybrid position in South Jordan, Utah (M, W, F in-office).

What You'll Do

• Design the Deal Desk Function: Build out deal desk strategy, frameworks, and workflows-including approval policies, escalation paths, and discounting guidelines.
  
• Lead Day-to-Day Operations: Manage the review and approval of inbound deal requests, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely support to Sales teams.
  
• Serve as a Strategic Advisor: Partner closely with Account Executives and Sales leadership to structure competitive, scalable, and financially sound deals.
  
• Support Financial Analysis: Collaborate with the Controller and FP&A team to assess deal profitability, ARR impact, and revenue recognition considerations.
  
• Drive Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements to reduce deal cycle time, improve accuracy, and enhance visibility.
  
• Ensure Cross-Functional Alignment: Liaise between Finance, Sales, RevOps, and Legal to align on pricing strategies and contract requirements.
  
• Develop Reporting & Insights: Track key deal metrics (e.g., approval turnaround, discounting trends, margin impact) and present findings to leadership.
  
• Lay the Foundation for Scale: Document deal desk playbooks, approval policies, and training resources to support company growth.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in deal desk-preferably in SaaS or recurring-revenue businesses.
  
• Leadership: Experience building or leading a deal desk function or similar cross-functional initiative.
  
• Technical & Financial Acumen: Strong understanding of SaaS contracts, pricing structures, ARR, revenue recognition principles, and financial modeling.
  
• Tools Knowledge: Proficient in Salesforce and Excel/Google Sheets; experience with CPQ tools or contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems a plus.
  
• Strong Communicator: Ability to synthesize complex information and influence stakeholders across departments.
  
• Operational Mindset: Detail-oriented with a drive to streamline, standardize, and scale business processes.
  
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Accounting, or a related field required; MBA or advanced degree is a plus.

Bonus Points If You:

• Have supported or built a deal desk function at a growth-stage SaaS company
  
• Can translate between Sales speak and Finance speak without missing a beat
  
• Thrive in environments where you can build, iterate, and optimize from scratch
  
• Bring a collaborative, low-ego approach to cross-functional problem solving
