About the Role

fal is building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of generative media. As our enterprise business grows, we’re looking for a Deal Desk & Pricing Operations to help us scale how we structure, review, and execute customer deals.

You’ll work closely with Sales and partner across Finance, Legal, and other teams to help move deals from proposal to close. You’ll be the go-to person for questions around deal structure, pricing, discounts, customer commitments, and non-standard commercial terms.

What You’ll Do

Deal Desk

• Partner directly with Sales on structuring and executing enterprise and strategic deals.

• Review proposed deals, identify issues or exceptions, and coordinate the appropriate approvals across Sales, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders.

• Help Sales evaluate different deal structures and develop proposals that meet customer needs while staying within fal's commercial guidelines.

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data.

• Strong attention to detail and an ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work directly with Sales, Finance, Legal, and leadership.

• Good commercial judgment: you understand when to follow the standard process and when a deal warrants an exception.

• A bias toward action and an ability to operate in an environment where processes are still being built.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with AI, APIs, cloud infrastructure, or developer-focused products.

What Success Looks Like

You'll help fal answer questions like:

• What discount or commitment structure should we offer?

• Does this request require an exception, and who needs to approve it?

• What commercial levers can Sales use to get this deal across the line?

• Have we done a similar deal before, and how did we structure it?

• How can we make this type of deal standard next time?

• Where are deals getting stuck, and how can we remove those bottlenecks?
