This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Deal Operations Manager based in France.

This is an opportunity to shape and scale deal operations within a growing, fully remote environment.

The role partners closely with Sales, Finance, Legal, Deal Strategy, Systems, Customer Success, and Product teams.
You will support complex deal construction, including multi-year, expansion, multi-product, ramped, and non-standard agreements.
You will also help turn pricing, packaging, and new product decisions into practical processes and CPQ workflows.
With a strong focus on data, quality, automation, and continuous improvement, your work will reduce downstream errors and rework.
The role offers broad cross-functional exposure and the opportunity to build scalable commercial processes in an international team.

• Build and continuously improve the global deal operations workflow, covering intake, routing, approval readiness, SLAs, escalation paths, and exception handling.

• Own approval readiness within CPQ, including quote quality checks, required fields, approval context, discount rationale, and downstream handoff requirements.

• Support Sales and Sales Leadership with the construction and design of new business, renewal, expansion, multi-year, ramped, multi-product, and non-standard deals.

• Translate commercial strategies into approval-ready deal structures with clear value exchange, risk considerations, concession logic, billing terms, contract timing, and implementation assumptions.

• Coordinate with Legal on non-standard terms, contract language, execution paths, risk ownership, and customer-requested changes.

• Partner with Finance to ensure revenue recognition, billing, payment terms, product lines, start dates, order forms, and approval evidence are properly addressed before signature.

• Support pricing and packaging initiatives by translating commercial decisions into CPQ logic, approval paths, field processes, and reporting requirements.

• Help operationalize new product introductions by defining deal rules, quote requirements, launch constraints, fallback paths, and guidance for early transactions.

• Own the handoff from approved quotes into ordering, billing, commissions, reporting, and customer lifecycle systems.

• Run operating cadences using KPIs, defect logs, root-cause analysis, action tracking, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Identify and implement automation and AI opportunities across intake, routing, approval summaries, quote checks, documentation, and cycle-time reduction.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in Deal Desk, Deal Operations, Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, or a comparable commercial operations function, ideally within B2B SaaS.

• Hands-on experience with CPQ platforms such as DealHub or comparable tools, together with strong knowledge of quote-to-cash or lead-to-cash processes.

• Demonstrated experience structuring and reviewing complex or non-standard commercial agreements, including multi-year, ramped, expansion, and multi-product deals.

• Working knowledge of revenue recognition concepts, billing and order processes, and contract execution workflows involving Legal and Finance.

• Experience designing scalable processes, documentation, SLAs, decision rules, and operating cadences, including KPI reviews and root-cause analysis.

• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with Salesforce and reporting tools.

• Strong commercial judgment and the ability to balance customer value, risk, revenue, and margin considerations.

• Excellent cross-functional communication and coordination skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority.

• Exceptional attention to detail and a disciplined approach to quote quality, approval readiness, and pre-signature checks.

• A continuous-improvement mindset, with an interest in automation and AI applications that can reduce cycle time and rework.

• Demonstrated AI literacy, including the ability to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, and quality while applying sound judgment and critical thinking.
