Who you are

What the job involves

- The Deal Desk is a critical function within Revenue Operations, responsible for accelerating revenue growth by supporting our revenue organization with deal structuring, pricing guidance, and streamlined approval processes
- As a Deal Desk Analyst, your mission is to ensure deal accuracy & compliance, and reduce the deal cycle
- This is a highly visible, cross-functional role where you'll serve as a trusted advisor to our revenue team, helping them navigate complex deals while maintaining pricing discipline and compliance standards
- You'll collaborate closely with Revenue, Finance, Legal, and Product teams to ensure our customers receive world-class service from contract creation through implementation
- Maintain pricing discipline and compliance by reviewing non-standard pricing requests, ensuring deals adhere to revenue recognition standards, and providing data-driven recommendations on discount thresholds and payment terms
- Optimize our quote-to-cash process by managing Salesforce workflows, CPQ configurations, and approval automation, identifying opportunities to streamline operations and reduce administrative burden on revenue teams
- Serve as the primary liaison between revenue and cross-functional teams (Finance, Legal, Product, Customer Success), facilitating seamless communication and rapid resolution of complex deal requirements
- Drive process improvements by analyzing deal patterns, identifying bottlenecks in the sales cycle, and collaborating with Revenue Operations leadership to implement scalable solutions that support Pave's rapid growth
- Accelerate deal velocity by providing expert guidance on deal structure, pricing, and contract terms for Pave's compensation platform, ensuring deals move efficiently through the approval process while maintaining profitability targets

Our take
Compensation survey and merit cycle processes are integral to so many businesses, and yet remain time-consuming manual activities. Staff often lack financial training resulting in spreadsheet induced errors. Pave saw a need to update and streamline the process.
The core advantage of Pave is its ease of integration with HRIS, ATS and cap table software, creating real-time compensation data views without the need for spreadsheets. Using the software creates a fair and transparent system that management can rely on and employees can respect. The company has seen strong momentum, with backing from big names like Y Combinator and az16.
Some organisations have been reluctant to adopt solutions like Pave’s on account of the radical transparency it provides. However, with companies like Credit Karma, Miro and Discord all signing on, Pave has proven its ability to draw lucrative enterprise-level clients. It also became a Unicorn in 2022 after an impressive Series C funding round, boding well for its longevity.
