Senior Deals Desk Manager

Senior Deals Desk Manager, Strategic Finance (Remote)

Full-Time, Remote / Salary, Exempt / Includes Benefits, PTO, Flexible Schedule, Equity

Steno is growing! We’re looking for a Senior Deals Desk Manager to join our winning team, which is revolutionizing the court reporting industry every single day. We’re a diverse team from all over the country (and beyond) and we’re crazy about redefining the boundaries of an outdated industry.

Who are you?

As we scale and expand into new markets, our sales team needs a partner who can accelerate deal approvals, structure complex pricing, and ensure every deal protects margin while winning business. You'll build the foundation of our pricing governance function, working directly with Sales Directors, Account Executives, and Finance leadership.

If you’re looking for a company that offers support, guidance, an abundance of killer giphys, and unlimited potential to grow into your best self, you can bet we’d love to have you too. 

On a regular basis you will 

• Review and approve non-standard pricing requests using discount framework and approval matrix. 
• Analyze deal profitability and margin impact before approval, and partner with Sales to evaluate complex pricing scenarios, including multi-state deals, volume discounts, and strategic accounts. 
• You'll manage escalations and track approval metrics to ensure consistent governance.
• Build custom pricing proposals and RFP responses using a CPQ platform that you’d help us launch, and structure package pricing across service lines with volume discounts. 
• You'll train Sales Directors and AEs on pricing policies and approval processes while providing real-time pricing guidance during negotiations to keep deals moving forward.
• Generate quotes and execute pricing approvals through CPQ workflow. Partner with RevOps on platform optimization and improvements, and test new CPQ features before rollout to ensure smooth implementation.

You’re gonna crush it if

• You bring 3-5 years of experience in deal desk, sales ops, revenue ops, or pricing at a B2B services or SaaS company.
• You have strong Excel/Sheets skills and can build pricing models, calculate margins, and analyze profitability with confidence.
• You excel at cross-functional communication, able to say no diplomatically and explain complex pricing clearly to stakeholders at all levels.
• You are detail-oriented and fast-moving, catching errors without slowing deals down or creating bottlenecks.
• You are commercially minded and understand that the goal is to win business profitably, not just enforce rules.
• You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments where priorities shift and you can adapt quickly.

Bonus Points if 

• You have hands-on experience with CPQ platforms such as Salesforce CPQ, DealHub, or PandaDoc.
• You have experience working in B2B services, staffing, or marketplace environments.
• You are proficient with HubSpot or Salesforce CRM systems.
• You have knowledge of professional services pricing models and practices.

• Health, Vision, & Dental Benefits - low-cost health plans that free up mind space and unlock our employees' best work
