As a Senior Deal Desk Analyst, you will report to the Director, Deal Management and serve as a critical partner across the quote-to-cash process. You'll work at the intersection of Sales, Legal, Finance, and RevOps and help design the commercial engine that powers LaunchDarkly's most strategic deals.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in enterprise software deal structures, SaaS commercial terms, revenue recognition and is actively curious about how Agentic AI can reshape the way Deal Desk teams operate.
You'll be a trusted advisor to our Growth, Enterprise, and Strategic Sales teams. You’ll not just be a reviewer of deals, but a shaper of them. You'll bring structure to complexity, clarity to ambiguity, and velocity to deals that matter most. When a deal gets hard, you're the person in the room everyone wants.
But this role is more than executing playbooks. We're building a Deal Desk function that operates at the leading edge; one that leverages AI to move faster, think smarter, and scale without adding headcount. The right candidate isn't just comfortable with change; they're energized by it. They see AI as a force multiplier.
LaunchDarkly is a dynamic, high-growth company. You'll thrive here if you bring a startup mentality: resourceful under pressure, decisive in ambiguity, and focused on outcomes over activity.
Serve as a trusted advisor to the Growth, Enterprise, and Strategic Sales teams on deal construction and negotiation of complex transactions.

The LaunchDarkly platform helps developers innovate on new features faster while protecting them with a safety valve to instantly rewind when things go wrong. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. And by gradually rolling out new application components, they escape nightmare "big-bang" technology migrations.
The LaunchDarkly platform was built to guide engineers to the next frontier of DevOps by:
Improving the velocity and stability of software releases, without the fear of end customer outages
Delivering targeted experiences by easily personalizing features to customer cohorts
Maximizing the business impact of every feature through the ability to experiment and optimize
