About the Role:

We're looking for a Commercial Strategy & Pricing Manager to own our deal desk function and lead the implementation, management, and ongoing optimization of our CPQ. This role sits at the intersection of pricing strategy, sales enablement, and systems ownership. You’ll be the Revenue Operations partner for Account Executives navigating complex, technical deals, while also building the infrastructure that lets the sales org quote and close faster.

We're specifically looking for someone who has experience setting defensible prices with novel deal structures with limited comps in a dynamic market. Our is a technical, consultative sale, where deal complexity, competitive dynamics, dynamic pricing make "one price fits all" impossible.

  CPQ Ownership

  • Build and maintain product bundles, pricing rules, discount schedules, approval matrices, and quote templates. Continuously audit CPQ data integrity (product catalog, price books, rules logic) to ensure quotes reflect our latest pricing strategy.

  • Partner with Sales, Finance, and Product on new product launches, packaging changes, and price book updates, translating them into CPQ configuration

  • Identify and eliminate friction in the quote-to-cash process. Reduce quote turnaround time and manual workarounds

• 4-7 years of experience in Revenue Operations focusing on running a deal desk function, advising AEs on deal structuring, pricing strategy, and contract negotiations, preferably within a high growth, B2B technology environment.

• Proven track record setting and adjusting prices in a dynamic, fast-moving market. Strong understanding of market rate benchmarking and competitive pricing analysis. Experience pricing usage-based and consumption-based products

• Hands-on CPQ implementation and administration experience (Salesforce CPQ, DealHub, PandaDoc, Zuora, or similar)

• Strong Excel/Sheets modeling skills for pricing analysis; SQL or reporting tool experience a plus

• Experience at a growth-stage company where you've had to build or rebuild processes from scratch

Bonus Points
