About the Revenue Operations Team
The Revenue Operations team is the operational backbone and growth catalyst of OpenSesame. While others may see sales mechanics, we focus on something more fundamental: creating the clarity, discipline, and systems that allow revenue to scale responsibly and predictably.
We design, operate and automate the processes, systems, and insights that connect strategy to execution — from first customer conversation through renewal. Our work ensures revenue flows efficiently, governance is strong, and customer experience remains consistent as the business grows.
We partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Partner, Finance, Legal, Enablement, and Business Systems to remove friction, enforce smart standards, and help teams move faster without cutting corners.
About the Deal Desk Analyst
The Deal Desk Analyst is a critical partner to Sales and Go-To-Market teams, responsible for accelerating deal velocity while protecting margin, ensuring policy compliance, and improving forecast accuracy.
This role exists to remove friction from selling. You’ll support deals across the quote-to-cash lifecycle, helping sellers close complex opportunities faster while maintaining pricing discipline and clean execution. Success in this role is defined by faster approvals, cleaner deals, fewer escalations, and higher seller confidence — not volume of activity.

- Become fully operational and independently support standard new business, expansion, and renewal deals.
- Validate pricing, discounts, approvals, and required documentation within defined SLAs.
- Route and track approvals accurately, maintaining complete and audit-ready CRM and CPQ records.
- Build strong working relationships with Sales, Partners, Finance, and Customer Success.
Sustain Speed and Discipline (60 Days)

- Reduce manual effort through standardization, automation, and AI-assisted validation.
- Provide clean exception and bottleneck data to inform process and system improvements.
