About the Role

Sonar is seeking a Director, Deal Desk to own the global function that governs the quoting-to-cash process, sets commercial policy, and leads a team supporting a fast-growing sales organization. This role requires a blend of rigorous process building, executive communication, and commercial credibility to partner effectively with Finance and Revenue leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Own QTC governance: design, document, and enforce Sonar's end-to-end quoting-to-cash process, including discount policy, approval workflows, non-standard deal structures, and escalation paths.
  • Set and evolve commercial policy: partner with Finance, Legal, and Revenue leadership to translate business decisions into clear, operationalised booking and ARR treatment rules.
  • Lead the global Deal Desk team: manage and develop a distributed team of Deal Desk managers and analysts across time zones; set standards, build capability, and maintain quality.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment on new offer structures: act as the operational readiness owner for any new pricing, packaging, or promotional offer before it goes live.
  • Own discount and multi-year deal analysis: track discounting patterns, partner discount stacking, multi-year deal economics, and conversion rates; surface insight to Revenue and Finance leadership.
  • Manage channel and partner deal complexity: oversee partner-assisted deal structuring, ensure correct bookings treatment for channel-influenced and channel-fulfilled transactions, and maintain audit-ready records.
  • Support CPQ and systems evolution: partner with RevOps and BizTech to continuously improve CPQ configuration, booking rules, and field-facing workflows.
  • Act as an ELT-facing commercial operator: present deal risk, bookings trends, and policy recommendations directly to Revenue and Finance leadership.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of Deal Desk, Revenue Operations, or Sales Operations experience in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment.
  • At least 3 years in a leadership role managing a team.
  • Operated a Deal Desk in a multi-product, multi-region business with meaningful channel complexity.
  • Mastery of QTC process and CPQ tooling (Salesforce CPQ or equivalent).
  • Strong commercial instinct — understanding ARR, bookings, GRR, and how deal structure decisions flow through to financial reporting.
  • Ability to operate Deal Desk across high-volume transactional and complex enterprise motions.
  • Precise, confident communicator — written and verbal — across audiences from junior analysts to ELT.
  • Experience leading through ambiguity — operationalized novel deal structures and promotional offers under time pressure.
  • Experience with multi-year deal analysis, discount governance, and partner/channel deal management.
