• Understand the mechanics of deal structuring including pricing, discounting, multi-year and consumption models, commit and ramp terms, and the approval frameworks that govern them.
• Have worked across Sales, Legal, Finance, and Revenue Accounting to move deals from quote to signed, bookable order.
• Be fluent in the tooling of a modern GTM stack including Salesforce and CPQ.
