We are seeking a seasoned and financially astute Sales Controller to lead global commercial governance, pricing oversight, and deal desk operations. This highly cross-functional role will serve as the commercial counterpart to the company's Financial Controller—bringing rigor to deal economics, revenue policy compliance, and financial accountability across the go-to-market (GTM) organization. You will play a pivotal role in shaping and enforcing pricing strategies, driving deal efficiency, and aligning revenue recognition practices with operational execution.

This role requires a deep understanding of revenue accounting, pricing strategy, financial modeling, and the end-to-end quote-to-cash lifecycle, as well as strong business partnering skills with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Product leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary finance and commercial advisor to GTM leadership on deal structure, pricing strategy, and revenue impact
• Own the global deal desk and commercial governance function, ensuring alignment with revenue recognition policies and profitability goals
• Lead discount and margin analysis, delivering insights that balance competitiveness with financial performance
• Oversee CPQ (Revenue Cloud Advanced) system administration and integration to support accurate and scalable quote execution
• Manage the Sales Order Administration (SOA) team to ensure order validation, QTC workflow compliance, and smooth customer onboarding
• Partner closely with Accounting on non-standard terms, bundled offerings, and SaaS/perpetual licensing models to ensure appropriate revenue treatment under ASC 606 or IFRS 15
• Act as the commercial policy steward, aligning pricing frameworks and approval matrices with financial controls
• Support RFP and Bid Management by vetting the financial viability of large, complex deals and recommending risk mitigation strategies
• Collaborate with FP&A on forecast accuracy, pricing elasticity, and cost-to-serve analysis
• Drive continuous improvement across deal velocity, commercial compliance, and sales process optimization
  
  

• 10+ years of progressive experience in commercial finance, sales finance, revenue operations, or accounting roles, preferably in a global B2B tech or SaaS company
• Deep knowledge of revenue recognition principles (ASC 606/IFRS 15) and their application to enterprise deals, software, and services
• Proven experience leading or partnering with deal desk, pricing, or sales operations teams
• Strong financial acumen and understanding of pricing mechanics, discounting frameworks, and revenue drivers
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with CPQ, Salesforce, and ERP systems (e.g., Oracle, SFDC) preferred
• CPA or equivalent accounting certification strongly preferred; MBA or master's in finance/accounting is a plus
• Exceptional communication skills and business judgment; able to translate financial insights into strategic decisions
