The Deal Desk Sr Manager owns the operational, analytical, and process behind Atlas's deal solutioning. Reporting to the VP, Growth, you'll own pricing execution, solutioning live deals, monthly solutioning improvements , and becoming Atlas's resident expert on pricing structuring mechanics and deal compliance process. This is a senior individual contributor role, built to carry manager-level scope because it's building a function that doesn't exist today.

You’re building the initial deal desk r goal is to remove the back-and-forth on deals, know Atlas HXM's deal structure playbook cold, and support the Sales Team on winning deals.

• Own customization of pricing on non-standard deals in sales and partnership.
• Track patterns in competitive losses tied to pricing and fee structure (e.g., hidden-fee complaints against competitors, packaging comparisons) and translate them into actionable pricing guidance.
• Partner with sales analysts on pricing issues and make recommendations. Present issues and solutions to sales leadership.
• Deal Solutioning Adherence on Live Deals
• Drive faster internal and client-facing decisions on solutioning, pushing deals to an acceptable, well-reasoned resolution.
• Flag compliance concerns on deals early and facilitate fast, direct escalation.
• Catch structuring issues early, solutioning deals correctly in Stages 1-3 so they don't resurface as blockers late in the cycle.
• Solutioning Process Optimization
• Own monthly root cause analysis of solutioning friction, using support ticket data and direct observation of where deals stall in structuring, pricing, or compliance sign-off.
• Diagnose why deals get stuck in solutioning and drive concrete fixes to the mechanics themselves, deal desk maneuvers, pricing exception paths, rather than just reporting the same recurring blockers.
• Become Atlas's resident expert on VGM and MSA structuring mechanics, knowing pre-authorized structures cold and recognizing when a deal genuinely requires Compliance, Legal, or VGM involvement.
• Reduce back-and-forth on deals by only looping in functional teams when a deal truly falls outside established patterns.
• Build a structured risk decision tree by country and deal structure in partnership with Compliance, so solutioning criteria are pre-committed rather than re-litigated deal by deal, the foundation of a future formal deal desk.
• Feed the Global Solutions Director and VP of Growth clean, aggregated signal on which deal structures are working, which aren't, and where solutioning policy needs functional team input to evolve.

• 5-8+ years of experience in deal desk, commercial operations, revenue…
