We are hiring an International Strategic Engagements Deal Lead to own the commercial structuring and execution of 's most consequential customer engagements outside North America. You will be the in-region point person for Strategic Engagements across EMEA, APAC, and other international markets, providing time-zone coverage, local commercial relationships, and regional commercial structuring expertise that the NoAM-based team cannot deliver remotely.
You will own the deal-by-deal economic frame, commercial recommendation, and structuring approach for qualifying international engagements across the full deal portfolio: net-new logo acquisitions, installed-base expansions, partnership-driven structures, and precedent-setting deals. You will partner directly with regional account leadership, Specialist Sales, AI Specialists, regional Deal Desk, regional Legal, regional Revenue Accounting, and the central Strategic Engagements team. You will join customer conversations on qualifying deals, particularly with senior customer stakeholders (CFO, COO, CIO, CPO).
Own International Deal Economics. Build the deal-by-deal economic frame for qualifying international engagements. Workload mix, capacity sizing, multi-year ramp, hybrid AI structures, multi-product economics, and competitive positioning. Translate the frame into a clear commercial recommendation that accounts for regional commercial realities.
Lead Regional Commercial Structuring. Lead pricing and commercial structuring across capacity, consumption, hybrid AI, and multi-product deal structures. Bring regional competitive benchmarks, willingness-to-pay context, and unit economics into structuring conversations. Navigate multi-currency exposure, regional revenue recognition treatment, sovereignty constraints, and local commercial conventions.
Provide Time-Zone Coverage. Be the in-region escalation point for live deals. Drive cross-functional decisions to closure on regional time, without waiting for NoAM business hours.
Build Local Relationships. Build and maintain the regional cross-functional relationships (regional Deal Desk, Legal, Revenue Accounting, AI Specialists, Sales leadership) that allow Strategic Engagements to execute at speed in your markets.
Shape Commercial Outcomes. Shape the commercial strategy, sequencing, and economic frame that gives the account team the strongest path to win acquisition deals at defensible terms and to protect margin discipline on expansion deals. Deal outcomes are jointly owned with the account team; you own the -side commercial frame and recommendation.
Run Concession Discipline. Track concessions live against tiered margin-dilution thresholds. Escalate structural concessions (renewal caps, evergreen discounts, affiliate-use extensions, termination-for-convenience, multi-year ramp giveaways) regardless of size. Gate signature on a passed readiness check.
Coach the Field. Coach regional AEs on package strategy, negotiation sequencing, and how to position the deal. Bring the Strategic Engagements playbook into the field engagement, adapted for regional commercial norms.
Engage Customers Directly. Join customer conversations on qualifying deals with senior customer stakeholders. The account team owns the customer relationship and close authority. You bring the commercial, financial, and pricing depth into the room.
Adhere to the Deal Playbook. Run every deal in line with Strategic Engagements playbook standards: financial controls (booking accuracy, revenue recognition, concession tracking), deal process discipline, system requirements (CRM, contract management, billing), and legal compliance.
Operate AI-Native by Default. Use AI-assisted workflows for deal-economics modeling, redline triage, stakeholder synthesis, recommendation drafting, and competitive benchmarking. AI is a default execution mode, not an enhancement layer.
Build the Repeatable Playbook. Feed lessons from every closed international deal back into qualification criteria, regional commercial structuring patterns, fallback library, and lifecycle artifacts. Calibrate the playbook quarterly through the Strategic Engagements postmortem.
Communicate to Executives. Produce the recommendation memos, daily deal update notes, and quarterly postmortem materials that connect deal status, commercial structure, key risks, and decisions in flight to executive sponsors and the CFO when material.
