We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

• Build n8n's Deal Desk function from scratch, AI- and automation-first: intake, approval workflow, and pricing guardrails.
• Advise Sales on deal structure and pricing to protect margin without slowing down the sales cycle.
• Maintain a simple set of discount and pricing rules that Sales can apply on their own, without escalating every deal.
• Run a monthly and quarterly deal war room to keep deal velocity high, especially around month-end and quarter-end close.
• Handle contract redlines and non-standard terms directly, keeping most negotiations out of Legal's hands.
• Build a redline clause library of accepted and rejected language, so AI can suggest fallback terms on routine deals.
• Automate approvals and quoting in CPQ, and use AI to triage incoming requests and flag which deal changes actually need re-approval.
• Own Salesforce data quality and executed-contract hygiene for every deal.
• Support Customer Success on non-standard renewal and expansion structuring.
• Coordinate security and compliance requests (DPA, SOC 2, security addenda) between Sales, Security, and Legal.
• Report monthly on deal desk performance: cycle time, discounting, and exceptions.

• Deal desk knowledge:
  You have in-depth experience developing and operating a deal desk function, not just executing a process someone else fully designed.
• SaaS commercial fluency:
  You have a strong understanding of SaaS pricing models, revenue recognition and ARR reporting principles, and enterprise contract structures.
• Contract negotiation and redlining:
  You can negotiate and redline order-form-level terms directly with a customer and know when to involve Legal.
• CPQ/ Salesforce hands-on:
  You've configured and operated both a CPQ and Salesforce yourself, not just used what someone else set up.
• AI-native working style:
  You default to AI and automation in your own work, with concrete examples of deal or approval workflows you've automated.
• Stakeholder management:
  You have outstanding communication skills and can influence and manage complex stakeholders such as Sales, Legal, Rev Ops, and Finance.

• 0-to-1 builder:
  You've spun up a deal desk or similar function from the ground up, defining the underlying processes and policies yourself.
• Modern CPQ/billing exposure:
  You've worked with Salesforce CPQ or modern platforms like Hyperline or Solvimon.
• Product curiosity:
  You're curious about n8n and ideally have already successfully built a workflow.
