You are comfortable navigating complex approval processes and have a deep appreciation for balancing risk, reward, and compliance. Your attention to detail is matched only by your ability to see the big picture, and you’re energized by the challenge of building new processes and frameworks that move the deal desk function from transactional to consultative.
