We're trusted by more than 12,000 companies worldwide, including Bolt, GoCardless, and Fabletics, and we're tackling the 7 hours of lost productivity per employee each week, a $1.7 trillion problem.

Perk's Deal Desk is becoming a strategic function: one that shapes how our Sales organisation structures, prices, and closes its deals. We're investing in that transformation now, with a growing focus on automation and AI to take manual work out of deal execution.
We're hiring a Senior Deal Desk Analyst to support our North America sales team. You'll be the go-to commercial partner for Sales leaders and Account Executives in the region, helping them structure, price, and close deals quickly and with confidence. You'll report to the Deal Desk Team Manager and work closely with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Sales Operations.
This is a senior individual contributor role. You'll work independently on complex and non-standard deals, make sound judgement calls within pricing and approval guardrails, and help us improve how the Deal Desk operates as we scale.
Support North America deals end to end
Act as the main Deal Desk contact for North America Sales, supporting deals from quote to signature across SMB, mid-market and enterprise opportunities.
Structure and price complex and non-standard deals, balancing commercial risk with deal velocity.
Apply pricing and discounting guidelines, manage non-standard pricing approvals, and escalate exceptions with a clear recommendation.
Review quotes, order forms, and contract terms for accuracy and compliance, and act as the first line of defence on non-standard terms and redlines before involving Legal or Finance.
Keep deals moving through the pipeline with accurate, timely handling of tickets and approvals.
Partner with the business
Work closely with Sales Executives, Regional Team Leads, and Sales leadership to unblock deals and advise on commercial structure.
Collaborate with Legal, Finance, and Sales Operations to resolve issues quickly and consider revenue recognition and business risk on non-standard deals.
Be a trusted, credible voice for Deal Desk across time zones, communicating clearly and setting expectations.
Share knowledge with colleagues on the team, including supporting newer analysts as needed.
Help us improve how Deal Desk works
Use our CRM and CPQ tooling (such as Salesforce) to run deal workflows, and flag where manual effort can be reduced.
Contribute to process improvement, automation, and AI initiatives led by the Deal Desk Team Manager, including testing new tools and workflows.
Support reporting and governance on SLAs, deal velocity, and policy adherence.
What success looks like
Accuracy, compliance, and SLA adherence across your deals.
Faster, smoother deal cycles for North America Sales.

Strong knowledge of pricing, discounting, and deal structuring, with good commercial judgement and the confidence to make recommendations.
Comfort reviewing contract terms and redlines, and knowing when to escalate to Legal or Finance.
Hands-on experience with Salesforce and CPQ or quoting tools.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across Sales, Legal, and Finance.
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to stay organised in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
A strong sense of ownership and curiosity about automation and AI to make deal execution faster.

AI at Perk
AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.
How We Work
At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.
For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.
Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.

If you receive a message claiming to be from Perk that seems suspicious, please do not respond. Forward it to security [at] perk .com, and we will confirm whether it is legitimate.
