We’re trusted by more than 10,000 companies worldwide, including Wise, On Running, Breitling, and Fabletics, and we’re tackling the 7 hours of lost productivity per employee each week, a $1.7 trillion problem.

About the Role
Perk is transitioning from a Travel Management only platform to a comprehensive Travel & Spend Management ecosystem. As we undergo this product shift, our Deal Desk team is also maturing. We are transitioning from a reactive, task-driven support function to a proactive, strategic sales management partner.
As the (Senior) Deal Desk Analyst primarily supporting DACH, you will be a key contributor to this evolution. You will support the team’s shift toward high-value consultancy by modeling a proactive approach to pipeline risk mitigation, deal structuring, and commercial strategy.
What You'll Do
1. Pipeline Management & Deal Velocity
Friction Removal: Work directly with Sales Management to unblock high-priority deals, ensuring they move through approval gates and legal reviews as quickly as possible.
Forecasting Partnership: Partner with Sales Leadership to provide an accurate, risk-adjusted view of the pipeline, ensuring that "target-critical" deals are prioritised and cleared in partnership with stakeholders.
The Traffic Controller: Proactively monitor the DACH sales pipeline to identify deals that are stalling.
2. Commercial & Legal Enablement (Mid-Market & Enterprise)
Standard Terms Support: Actively manage the standard terms review process for deals. You will support the negotiation and alignment of commercial and legal terms to ensure they meet our evolving Spend Management standards.
Guardrail Governance: Ensure deals adhere to company policy while proactively suggesting "standardised" workarounds for common procurement hurdles.
3. Scaling through Automation & Process
Operational Builder: Lead the transition from "task-driven" to "automated" by identifying manual bottlenecks in the current Deal Desk workflow and driving Salesforce automations to solve them.
Process Discipline: Establish and refine the "commercial logic" for our new product suite, creating templates and frameworks that allow the team to scale without adding administrative friction.
4. Salesforce & Data Mastery
Velocity Insights: Use Salesforce data to tell the story of the pipeline. Identify where deals are getting stuck and provide actionable insights to Sales Management on how to decrease sales cycles and increase win rates.
Systems Expert: Act as the point of contact for Salesforce optimisation, ensuring that our processes work for the team.
What We’re Looking For
The Proactive Operator: You don't wait for a request; you watch the pipeline and jump in when you see a deal slowing down.
Commercially Grounded: You understand the pressure of sales targets and can balance that with the discipline required for contract standards and legal compliance.
The Builder: You have a natural instinct to "fix the machine." You enjoy building processes that make everyone’s life easier.
DACH Market Fluent: You are comfortable navigating the specific procurement and expectations of DACH customers.
Relevant experience in Deal Desk, Sales Operations, or Commercial Finance (SaaS/Fintech preferred).
Technical Skills: Advanced Salesforce (SFDC) proficiency is required. You should be comfortable building reports, and basic automation/flows.
Languages: Professional fluency in German and English.
Mindset: High energy, detail-oriented, and obsessed with operational efficiency.
