Deal Desk Analyst

Our client, a global SaaS leader in database technology, seeks structured Deal Desk Analysts to support their international sales team through Q4. Join their fast-paced team and help process complex enterprise deals worldwide.

About the role

In this role, you will act as the crucial bridge between sales teams and key internal functions. While you won't attend customer meetings directly, you will maintain continuous dialogue with sales representatives via systems and phone to ensure both internal compliance and client needs are met seamlessly.

You will join a global Deal Desk team led by a Malmö-based manager, collaborating closely with colleagues in the US as the central hub for structuring global deals and contracts.

As the company navigates an intense fourth quarter, immediate support is needed. This consultancy assignment initially runs through the end of January. However, with clear plans to expand the team, strong performance in this role offers excellent prospects for an extension.
