- Build and lead a deal desk to support complex enterprise transactions — deal structuring, pricing guidance, approvals, and quote-to-cash — in partnership with Finance and Legal.
- Partner with Finance and the CRO to design and administer sales compensation and incentive plans that drive the right behaviors.
