• Evaluate and structure non-standard deal requests, ensuring clear communication of business rationale and accurate documentation within the Deal Approval System
• Own and continuously improve pricing tools, calculators, and deal templates to enhance consistency, usability, and strategic alignment
• Drive initiatives to automate and optimize deal desk workflows, reducing friction and enabling sales productivity across the Quote-to-Cash lifecycle
• Interpret and escalate contractual terms as needed to ensure alignment with revenue recognition policies, compliance requirements, and operational capabilities
