Responsibilities
Build n8n's Deal Desk function from scratch, AI- and automation-first: intake, approval workflow, and pricing guardrails.
Advise Sales on deal structure and pricing to protect margin without slowing down the sales cycle.
Maintain a simple set of discount and pricing rules that Sales can apply on their own, without escalating every deal.
Run a monthly and quarterly deal war room to keep deal velocity high, especially around month-end and quarter-end close.
Handle contract redlines and non-standard terms directly, keeping most negotiations out of Legal's hands.
Build a redline clause library of accepted and rejected language, so AI can suggest fallback terms on routine deals.
Automate approvals and quoting in CPQ, and use AI to triage incoming requests and flag which deal changes actually need re-approval.
Own Salesforce data quality and executed-contract hygiene for every deal.
Support Customer Success on non-standard renewal and expansion structuring.
Coordinate security and compliance requests (DPA, SOC 2, security addenda) between Sales, Security, and Legal.
Report monthly on deal desk performance: cycle time, discounting, and exceptions.
Requirements
Must-haves
Deal desk knowledge: You have in-depth experience developing and operating a deal desk function, not just executing a process someone else fully designed.
SaaS commercial fluency: You have a strong understanding of SaaS pricing models, revenue recognition and ARR reporting principles, and enterprise contract structures.
Contract negotiation and redlining: You can negotiate and redline order-form-level terms directly with a customer and know when to involve Legal.
CPQ/ Salesforce hands-on: You've configured and operated both a CPQ and Salesforce yourself, not just used what someone else set up.
AI-native working style: You default to AI and automation in your own work, with concrete examples of deal or approval workflows you've automated.
Stakeholder management: You have outstanding communication skills and can influence and manage complex stakeholders such as Sales, Legal, RevOps, and Finance.
Nice-to-haves
0-to-1 builder: You've spun up a deal desk or similar function from the ground up, defining the underlying processes and policies yourself.
Modern CPQ/billing exposure: You've worked with Salesforce CPQ or modern platforms like Hyperline or Solvimon.
Product curiosity: You're curious about n8n and ideally have already successfully built a workflow.
