If so, you'll thrive in our newly created Deal Desk Analyst role, where you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a new team dedicated to supporting the federal space, while enhancing your expertise in pricing strategies and deal structures in a collaborative and empowering environment.

About the Team

The Deal Desk team at Nutanix is a newly created group about 2 years ago. This role is aimed at supporting the federal space, should be operating primarily out of Durham, North Carolina, and the surrounding areas of Alexandria, Vienna, and McLean, Virginia. This team embodies a culture of empowerment, open communication, and collaboration, emphasizing the importance of building trust with sales teams. The team's mission is to streamline deal structures and pricing strategies, ensuring alignment with the company's goals while maximizing customer satisfaction and fostering a positive work environment.

You will report to the Director, Deal Desk, who champions a leadership style focused on empowerment and open communication. The hiring manager believes in fostering a positive work culture and supports team members in making decisions within their scope. This role operates in a hybrid work setup, requiring the hire to be in the office two days a week to facilitate collaboration and engagement with the team and local sales leaders.

The travel requirements for this role involve minimal local travel, with an expected commitment of up to 30%.

• Provide regular reporting on deal pricing trends, discount targets, and process improvement opportunities.
• Establish relationships within the federal governmental market to support tailored pricing strategies and compliance.
• Achieve metrics such as a 24-hour SLA on deal responses and limit escalations to fewer than 5 per day by the end of the first year.

 

What You Will Bring

• Proficiency in Excel and strong financial acumen.
• Effective communication and relationship-building skills with sales teams.
• Ability to manage time effectively and execute tasks quickly.
