The Director, Deal Desk will build and lead the function that sits at the center of every non-standard deal we sell. This role will partner directly with Commercial, Legal, Finance, Product, and Professional Services to structure, price, and approve complex Commercial agreements while protecting margin, revenue recognition integrity, and deal velocity. The role is built around four core tenets: deal strategy and design; deal review and approval; margin analysis and approval; and legal support and contracting development.
The successful candidate will own the deal desk playbook with a mandate to automate - replacing manual, spreadsheet-driven review with automated deal approval flows, automated margin analysis, and automated baseline contract generation, so the team scales without headcount growing linearly with deal volume.Job Description

Margin Analysis and Approval
Analyze deal-level margin and profitability against approved thresholds for appropriate signoff.
Partner with Finance/Accounting on revenue recognition implications of deal structures.
Own and maintain margin guardrails and floor-pricing models used across all quotes.
Automate margin analysis — real-time, rules-driven margin and profitability checks embedded in the quoting flow — to replace manual spreadsheet review and flag exceptions.
Track discount leakage and margin erosion trends, surfacing risk to Finance and sales leadership.
Legal Support and Contracting Development
Partner with Legal on contract redlines, MSAs, order forms, and non-standard terms.
Evolve contract templates, playbooks, and standard-terms libraries in partnership with Legal.
