The Deal Design Consultant supports the Sales organization in the structuring, evaluation, and execution of commercial agreements across North America. This role contributes to disciplined deal execution by supporting pricing strategy, configuration, and financial alignment, while ensuring compliance with established governance, pricing frameworks, and approval processes across commercial proposals.

As part of the evolution toward a centralized Deal Desk / Quote Desk operating model, this role also serves as a primary execution partner to the field Sales organization by owning quote creation, configuration, and maintenance within Salesforce.com, reducing administrative burden on Sales and improving speed, quality, and consistency of deal execution.

The Deal Design Associate independently manages singlesite deals within defined approval authority and provides analytical and execution support for complex, multisite agreements and formal RFPs led by the Senior Manager, Deal Design.

• Support Sales in developing and executing deal strategies for small to mid-scale customer opportunities, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, business objectives, and established pricing and approval frameworks

• Serve as a primary execution partner to field Sales by owning end-to-end quote creation, configuration, iteration, and maintenance in Salesforce.com, translating high-level deal direction into accurate, compliant, and executable quotes
• Act as a central point of coordination for quote requests, including intake, scoping validation, build, revision, and resubmission, enabling Sales teams to focus on customer engagement rather than administrative tasks
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Pricing, Finance, Service, and Contracts to validate assumptions, perform financial and margin analysis, and ensure timely, accurate deal execution
• Support deal governance by reviewing assigned deals for accuracy, completeness, data quality, and adherence to standard processes and approval requirements; escalate non-standard or high-complexity scenarios as appropriate
• Contribute to continuous improvement by maintaining strong Salesforce data hygiene, tracking quote activity and turnaround times, and supporting the development and adoption of standardized quoting processes, templates, and best practices

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience in pricing, finance, commercial operations, sales operations, contract development or a related function. Alternatively, candidates with experience in Laboratory diagnostics inside sales or sales are welcome.
