Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Deals Desk Analyst to join our Business Desk team. As our channel business continues to grow rapidly, following the recent relaunch of our Channel Partner Program, the Business Desk team plays a critical role as a strategic enabler of this expansion.

In this role, you will be a key business partner to our channel sales organization, supporting deal execution and operational excellence across our global indirect sales motion, including transactions involving distributors and resellers. You will work at the intersection of Sales, Partner Operations, Legal, and Finance to facilitate accurate and efficient quoting, deal structuring, and closure of partner-led opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner Transaction Support : Serve as a trusted advisor to channel managers and sales reps, supporting complex deals involving two-tier distribution (distributors and indirect resellers).
• Quote Creation & Management : Prepare accurate, compliant, and partner-ready quotes for distributors, which are then used to build downstream quotes with indirect resellers. Ensure all necessary approvals and documentation are in place.
• Deal Structuring : Advise on pricing, discounting, and commercial terms for partner transactions. Apply deep understanding of channel economics to support strategic deal structuring while maintaining margin discipline.
• Renewals Support : Partner with the renewals and customer success teams to ensure smooth, timely, and accurate renewals through the channel, supporting co-termed or upsell opportunities as needed.
• Successful Deal Closure : Drive deals to closure by managing operational steps, aligning internal teams, and ensuring all aspects of the transaction, from quote to booking, are completed correctly and on time.
• Compliance & Policy Enforcement : Ensure all channel deals comply with internal policies, pricing guidelines, and program rules. Enforce deal governance and escalate exceptions as necessary.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Liaise with Legal, Finance, Order Management, and Channel Operations to resolve deal blockers, expedite approvals, and ensure smooth downstream processing.
• Reporting & Insights : Track deal metrics and partner transaction trends to identify process bottlenecks, provide actionable insights, and recommend continuous improvements.
• Channel Program Support : Support the operational execution of relevant partner-related programs.
