As Deal Desk Lead, you will be joining the Revenue Operations team in supporting a high growth, fast paced Sales and Customer Success org.

• Strategically consult with AEs at the deal proposal stage and translate to customized Order Forms for complex scenarios
• Identify gaps and propose solutions or improvements to policies, processes and systems in support of compliance during the contracting process, and to help increase sales productivity (growing deal size, increasing frequency of expansions, helping reps win deals)
