Deal Strategy Analyst - EMEA London

What You’ll Do:

• Review deal submissions from EMEA AE/CSMs for compliance with pricing policy, discount schedules, and approval thresholds—approving standard deals and routing exceptions to senior reviewers.
• Support modelling of multi-year, multi-product deals—building ARR, TCV, and per-seat/platform fee scenarios under the guidance of senior team members.
• Spot common commercial risks in deal structures and flag them to senior team members or the Manager for review.
• Triage exception requests, gather supporting context from the AE/CSM, and prepare them for review by senior team members with clear documentation.

Commercial Operations & Systems

• Manage deal data integrity in Salesforce—ensuring opportunity records, pricing fields, and approval audit trails are accurate and complete.
• Work within DealHub (CPQ) to validate deal configurations, flag misconfigurations, and escalate system issues during the deal review workflow.
• Support ARR and revenue recognition hygiene by flagging deal structures that may create recognition complexity for senior review.
• Assist with maintaining Deal Desk playbooks, floor pricing references, and discount schedule documentation.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Act as a first point of contact for EMEA AE/CSMs on standard commercial queries and deal submission questions, escalating senior or complex requests as needed.
• Coordinate with Finance and Legal on routine deal questions, escalating non-standard commercial terms or booking issues to senior team members.
• Communicate approval decisions clearly—explaining the why, not just the outcome, and building AE/CSM trust through consistency and speed.
• Manage inbound deal desk cases from the EMEA field—triaging requests from AE/CSMs via the shared deal desk mailbox, tracking case status, and ensuring SLAs are met for standard submissions.

Process Ownership

• Maintain deal log accuracy, hit SLAs consistently, and surface observations on recurring approval patterns to the Manager.
• Flag recurring exceptions to the Director that may signal a gap in the approval framework.
• Help roll out new commercial policies into the EMEA field by maintaining documentation and supporting enablement sessions.

Experience & Technical Skills

• At least 2 years of experience in a Deal Desk, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or commercial finance role in a B2B SaaS company.
• Hands-on Salesforce experience—navigate opportunity records, run reports, and maintain deal data accuracy independently.
• Familiarity with CPQ systems (DealHub, Salesforce CPQ, or similar)—understand how deal configurations map to pricing outputs.
• Working knowledge of revenue recognition principles (ASC 606 / IFRS 15)—identify when a deal structure creates a recognition issue and escalate appropriately.
• Comfort building and interpreting deal models in Excel or Google Sheets—ARR/TCV splits, multi-year commit scenarios, discount waterfall logic.

What You’ll Bring

• Working understanding of SaaS commercial mechanics: ARR, TCV, per-seat pricing, platform fees, multi-year discounting.
• Clear, confident communicator—comfortable fielding questions from AE/CSMs and asking for help when a deal is outside your remit.
• Highly organized with a low error rate on repetitive, process-driven tasks.
• Proactive by default—flag problems early rather than waiting to be asked.
• EMEA-based and comfortable spanning UK, DACH, Nordics, and broader European deal cycles.

• Exposure to AWS Marketplace or other cloud marketplace deal mechanics.
• Experience supporting a Deal Desk or RevOps tooling implementation.
• Familiarity with NetSuite for order management or billing workflows.
