We’re looking for a hands-on Manager, Deal Desk & Order Management to partner with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Customer Success in structuring, executing, and operationalizing commercial deals. Sitting within Finance, this role is the connective tissue between revenue growth and commercial discipline — balancing speed and flexibility with sound financial judgment.
This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll own the end-to-end process from deal structuring through order setup and invoicing, ensuring every closed deal flows cleanly through systems, reflects approved pricing, and supports accurate invoicing and revenue recognition. The ideal candidate combines analytical precision with operational rigor — equally comfortable in deal details and in building scalable frameworks that raise the bar for the business.
Why This Role MattersThis is a high-bar role for someone who wants to own the deal engine — not just review transactions. You’ll shape deal velocity and quality, improve operational accuracy, and build the infrastructure that allows the business to scale efficiently.
