Job & Department Summary

Showpad’s Revenue Operations team owns the systems, data, and operating processes that allow the go-to-market organization to sell, service, and grow revenue. The team spans GTM Systems, Deal Desk, Insights and Innovation, GTM Strategy, and Sales and Customer Operations, across North America, EMEA, and India.

The Director, Deal Desk is the senior commercial leader within that team and the executive owner of how Showpad prices, structures, governs, and books its business. This leader sets the strategy and standards for the global Deal Desk function, builds and leads the team that delivers it, and is accountable for the integrity of every deal from first quote through signed contract, booking, and handoff to billing and revenue recognition.

This is an executive partnering role. The Director serves as a trusted commercial advisor to the Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Financial Officer, SVP of North America Sales, VP of EMEA Sales, and VP of Revenue Operations, shaping the company’s most strategic, complex, and high-value deals, framing difficult trade-offs for executive decision, and representing the Deal Desk point of view in forecast, pricing, and planning conversations. They are expected to unlock revenue through creative, defensible deal structures while holding a firm, principled line on pricing discipline, margin, and policy, particularly under quarter- and year-end pressure.

The Director leads largely through influence across the executive team and cross-functional partners: Finance and Accounting on revenue recognition, billing, and collections; Legal on contract terms and risk; GTM Systems on CPQ and quote-to-cash infrastructure; Product Marketing on pricing and packaging; and Sales and Customer Operations on bookings and forecast integrity.

Why this role exists now

Following the Bigtincan merger, Showpad has two heritage customer bases, a recently unified systems landscape, and pricing, packaging, and approval practices that have not yet been fully rebuilt for the combined business. Discounting, deal structures, and quote-to-cash handoffs currently rely heavily on manual effort and individual judgment. Showpad needs a senior leader who can design and implement a scalable, well-governed commercial framework for the combined company, chair the Value Pricing Board, resolve the complex commercial problems that come with integration (heritage contract migrations, conflicting price books, legacy terms, and renewal risk), and give executive le
