London, England

Algolia is in search of a Deal Desk Analyst to oversee our quote-to-order process, drive sales efficiency and assist our sales team with complex deals creation. You will be responsible for defining standard deal procedures, providing analytical and process support to complex non-standard deals, and facilitating getting approvals from the respective decision-makers (e.g. Sales leadership, Finance, Legal, exec team). 

You will also proactively contribute to suggest evolution to our pricing model when needed, especially through the identification of pricing templates, and build pre-approved approaches to financial structure and discounts, and non standard Terms & Conditions. The ideal candidate will combine a strong business acumen with analytical skills and a collaborative mindset. You will primarily assist the sales and account managers, and work collaboratively with multiple teams, gathering input and providing analytics to the deal process. You will create efficiency to the sales organization through a deep understanding of our pricing model and by teaching the team on how to optimize all the parameters.

Your attention to detail is exceptional and you are a natural strategic problem solver ready to take all the curveballs being thrown at you. You put your team first and understand the importance of collaboration and operational efficiency.

 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE:

  • Manage day-to-day case support
  • Deal structuring and pricing support
  • Ensure discounts or special terms are within approved thresholds and escalate exceptions as necessary for senior management approval.
  • Serve as a liaison between the sales team and other departments (finance, legal, operations) to support deal closure and provide guidance on deal structure and terms.
  • Manage day-to-day optimization of complex non standard deals
  • Continuously evaluate and improve internal processes for deal approval, contract management, pricing, and discounting to reduce cycle times and increase efficiency.
  • Offer organizational design thinking to best structure the processes around this function
  • Define and analyze metrics that inform the success of the Deal Desk

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU HAVE:

  • Have 2+ years of experience in a Deal Desk function or sales support function
  • Excellent collaboration skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams
  • Proficiency with salesforce.com. Experience with CPQ tools and their implementation is a plus. 
  • Experience building complex deals (multi-million, multi-year, ramp-up deals, success fees deals, …) for customers in different industries 
  • Knowledge of financial metrics such as margins, discounting policies, and revenue recognition.
  • Understanding of SaaS and subscription pricing mechanisms, including consumption based models 
  • Proficient in Excel or other data analysis tools to create reports, track deal performance, and analyse pricing models.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
