About you

You’re a collaborative, data-driven, and creative problem-solver who loves diving into the details. You thrive in dynamic environments like ours where you can strategically build systems, processes, and tools to create best-in-class customer experiences. You love influencing our company’s growth journey and enabling our internal go-to-market teams to efficiently generate revenue and scale.

About this role

You will be a key member of the Revenue Operations team, directly contributing to the growth of our B2B business by building out the systems, process, and infrastructure to help scale our organization to the next level. This is a full-time position reporting to the Senior Manager of Deal Desk. The Deal Desk Manager is a cross-functional role that partners with our sales, customer success, legal, and finance teams to streamline our overall quote-to-order process. You will be responsible for defining standard deal procedures, providing analytical and process support to complex, non-standard deals, and facilitating approvals from the respective decision-makers.

This is a (2 day in the office) hybrid position based out of our office in Southbank.

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead a growing RevOps presence in APAC. Support and mentor Deal Desk Admins as they are hired in the region in order to support the rapidly expanding Udemy for Business.
  • Partner with our sales, customer success, finance, and legal team leaders to define standard / non-standard deal criteria and related approval processes.
  • Manage the day-to-day optimization of complex non-standard deals and serve as the primary point of contact for sales, finance, and legal in these transactions.
  • Provide training to the sales team on deal structuring and best practices to increase deal velocity.
  • Contribute to Deal Desk initiatives by leading special projects, including the creation of the playbook for non-standard deal structure models, Deal Desk automation, dashboards, sales analytics, and various performance metrics.
  • Identify and drive implementation of new tools and process improvements to support growth.

What you’ll have:

  • 5+ years experience driving operational improvements in a Deal Desk or Sales Operations function for a high growth US based B2B SaaS company. Experience operating on a team of over 100 sales reps is a plus.
  • Demonstrated track record of process improvement for contract processing and general support to the sales organization.
  • Strong organizational skills and business judgment with the ability to handle projects independently end-to-end.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication and critical thinking skills to understand sales policies and processes at a company and individual sales rep level and to work with cross functional partners.
  • Salesforce.com CPQ experience preferred but not required.
  • Ability to work independently across multiple time zones and coordinate with management based in the US

We understand that not everyone will match each of the above qualifications. However, we also realize that everyone has unique experiences that can add value to our company. Even if you think your background might not perfectly align, we'd love to hear from you!

Life at Udemy

We aspire to be as vibrant and dynamic as the communities we serve, as inquisitive as those who use our platform, and as revolutionary as the future we strive to open for everyone. Here are some of the things we love about life at Udemy:

  • We’re invested in creating an inclusive environment that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. From creating employee resource groups, ensuring we’re a Fair Pay Workplace, and building a flexible work culture, our belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion (BEDI) initiatives always put our people first. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to work because when we all do, we’re better for it.

  • Learning is what we do – inside and out. Our Learning & Development team is second to none, helping ensure your journey is one of continuous progression. You’ll also have unlimited access to Udemy courses, monthly UDays (meeting-free professional development days), and a generous annual professional development stipend.

  • Our reason to exist is to revolutionize learning – that calls for taking risks and learning from failures. Whether it’s our hackathons (a company-wide effort to envision new possibilities for our product) or sharing our prototypes, we see experimentation as a crucial step on the path to success.

  • We’re committed to creating world-class employee experiences and are proud of the recognition of this by Great Place to Work. Learn more about our certificationhere and find out what it's like to work at Udemy onour blog.

Of course, the best thing about being part of Udemy is knowing your work makes a difference for people and organizations around the world. You’ve got the skills; why not use them to help others develop theirs?

At Udemy, we value diversity and inclusion and consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or family status, veteran status, medical condition, or disability.
