Our team:
Your future fellow team members currently live in Birmingham, Chicago, Los Angeles, and along the Gulf Coast. The Birmingham group periodically works out of the HQ building when the flow is right, but also works digitally first along with much of our company. In a nutshell, we want the best talent located wherever they happen to be. We can usually catch each other for quick Slack pings or Zoom calls from roughly the core hours of 9 am to 3 pm Central. We rely heavily on asynchronous communication through Asana, our company-wide project management system.
From a systems standpoint, we use a lot of them. We rely on the saying: “a great solution today can become a problem tomorrow.” We are constantly thinking about if processes or systems will scale. If we can get a few years from a system before we need to replace it, then we’ll implement it. We rely heavily on automated integrations between our systems so we can keep manual work down.
Requirements:
- Experience with a B2B SaaS that has scaled well from $50M+ ARR. We need someone who understands how a modern software company servicing thousands of organizations worldwide should operate at scale.
- 6+ years of professional experience, with 3+ years in a deal desk function, including complex enterprise deal experience.
- Prefer experience with Ironclad (or other enterprise CLM).
- Expert knowledge of Salesforce.
- Working experience with NDAs, RFP responses, subscription agreements, and pilot agreements. Fleetio has an in-house legal team and outside experts.
- Good understanding of software revenue recognition (including ASC 606) and order process principles.

- Ability to multitask and prioritize at times of high volume during end of month and quarter.
- Experience with building deep partnerships with Rev Ops, Sales, CSMs, Legal, Accounting, and FP&A.
- Ability to analyze, model, and recommend the best course of action for complex pricing, negotiations, and business situations; quantitative experience required.
- Ability to manage multiple variables, and adjust approach within defined parameters as well as the ability to drive rapid, but fact-based decision-making with imperfect data.
- You’re confident operating autonomously and comfortable escalating when required.
- You lean into problem-solving, educating, and providing an empathetic, but opinionated perspective that drives alignment across partners and teams.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing priorities and tight deadlines.
