      <Title>Deal Strategy &amp; Operations Manager</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>We&#39;re building the Deal Strategy &amp; Operations function from the ground up , and this is your chance to help define it. As one of our founding Deal S&amp;O hires, you&#39;ll sit at the intersection of Sales, Legal, Finance, and Business Operations, owning how we structure and win the enterprise deals that form the backbone of our growth.</p>
<p>You’ll help a rapidly growing company deliver across our CRO and CFO mandates, with a strategic seat at the table where your thinking directly shapes revenue outcomes.</p>
<p>Role</p>
<p>We&#39;re in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, complete with well-stocked libraries. This role requires five days a week in office.</p>
<p>You&#39;ll be joining a small, high-ownership team operating in one of the fastest-moving markets in AI. Day-to-day, that means being in the trenches , deep in the details of live deals, working through pricing negotiation and contract structure alongside sales leaders in real time. But you&#39;ll also zoom out: scoping, driving, and shipping strategic projects that fix the systemic issues slowing us down and build the foundation for how we scale.</p>
<p>If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and want your fingerprints on how a company scales its most complex commercial relationships, this role is for you.</p>
<p>What you’ll do</p>
<p>Partner with sales, legal, finance, and revenue operations to structure, negotiate, and close complex enterprise deals to drive revenue and financial outcomes for the business</p>
<p>Serve as a thought partner to sales reps on deal strategy: pricing, competitive positioning, negotiation approach, contract structure, executive engagement</p>
<p>Define and evolve our pricing and deal frameworks as the market shifts , spotting trends, flagging gaps, and building scalable solutions for customers</p>
<p>Lead cross-functional strategic projects that address recurring deal friction , identifying the issue, designing the process, and driving alignment across sales, finance, legal, and product</p>
<p>Help stand up the systems, processes, and operating cadence that support our rapid growth , including tools like Salesforce and Ironclad , without needing to be the one building them from scratch</p>
<p>Balance a high-volume deal workload with longer-horizon strategic initiatives, managing competing priorities across multiple reps and deal cycles simultaneously</p>
<p>You may be a fit if</p>
<p>You have 5–10 years of experience across consulting, investing, commercial strategy, deal desk, or a combination , and you&#39;ve operated at a level where you owned outcomes, not just tasks</p>
<p>You&#39;ve worked on enterprise B2B deals, ideally in SaaS or infrastructure and have direct experience with $1M+ ACV contracts</p>
<p>You&#39;re highly analytical , comfortable analyzing pricing, building ROI models in Excel, and grounding strategic recommendations in data</p>
<p>You have a point of view. You don&#39;t wait to be told what to think , you come with a perspective and know how to back it up</p>
<p>You&#39;ve thrived in a 0-to-1 environment and understand what it means to operate with urgency, ownership, and very little hand-holding</p>
<p>You&#39;re based in or able to relocate to San Francisco or New York City</p>
