What you bring with you: * 3–4 years in deal desk, sales operations, or order management within B2B SaaS. * Familiarity with CPQ and quote to cash processes (Salesforce, DealHub, or similar). * Detail oriented, organized, and responsive; comfortable with high transaction volume and period end pressure. * Strong stakeholder service mindset and clear, well structured communication. * Understanding of SaaS business models, subscription based pricing, and revenue recognition principles. * Not fazed by ambiguity or uncertainty, and comfortable working in a dynamic, hyper growth environment. * A clear and thoughtful communicator when discussing and sharing sensitive data with a range of business functions. * Strong MS Excel/Google Sheets skills (required).
