Escalate material exceptions to executive committees with a clear recommendation. * Own the design and continuous improvement of the Deal Desk Finance process, including required inputs, review steps, approval guardrails, exception handling, and handoffs. Establish standardized deal models and analysis practices, and define business requirements for Salesforce or other enterprise workflows. Partner with Systems and business teams on solution design, testing, and adoption. * Track key commitments and deal assumptions after signature, identify emerging exposure, and use actual performance to improve future deal decisions and guardrails. * Identify recurring deal themes, risks, and opportunities, and translate them into practical improvements to policy, process, and commercial strategy. * Coach senior analysts on modeling, financial judgment, and executive recommendations. Partner with the Finance Director to build and refine how the Carrier Deal Desk operates.
