Manage complex enterprise deals, pricing, and contracting workflows for the Americas sales team.
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
We're scaling our Deal Desk function and looking for a high-ownership IC to join the Americas team. You'll sit at the intersection of Sales, Legal, Finance, Product, and Business Operations, partnering closely with Americas sales leaders to structure and win the enterprise deals that form the backbone of our growth — and just as importantly, you'll help us systematize and scale how we get those deals done.
About the role
We're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, complete with well-stocked libraries. This role requires five days a week in office.
You'll be joining a small, high-ownership team operating in one of the fastest-moving markets in AI. The Deal S&O function is established and humming with deal volume — but we're growing fast enough that "established" doesn't mean "settled." Day-to-day, you'll be in the trenches on live deals, working through pricing negotiation and contract structure alongside sales leaders in real time. You'll also zoom out: scoping and shipping the strategic projects that take what's working today and make it work at 5x the volume — improving our pricing model, tightening approval workflows, scaling our contracting process, and building the sales enablement that lets reps move faster without losing the plot on commercial discipline.
What you’ll do
Partner with Americas sales, legal, finance, and revenue operations to structure, negotiate, and close complex enterprise deals
Serve as a thought partner to sales reps on deal strategy: pricing, competitive positioning, negotiation approach, contract structure, executive engagement
Help evolve our pricing model and deal frameworks as the market and customer base shift — spotting trends across your deal flow, surfacing the patterns to finance and leadership, and driving the changes through
Lead cross-functional projects that systematize how we operate at scale — approval workflows, contracting playbooks, pricing guardrails, sales enablement materials, deal desk operating cadence
Improve the tools and processes we already have (Salesforce, Ironclad, our pricing infrastructure) by partnering with the GTM systems team — without needing to build them yourself
Balance a high-volume deal workload with longer-horizon strategic initiatives, managing competing priorities across multiple reps and deal cycles simultaneously
You may be a fit if
You have 5–10 years of experience across consulting, investing, commercial strategy, deal desk, or a combination — and you've operated at a level where you owned outcomes, not just tasks
You've worked on enterprise B2B deals, ideally in SaaS or infrastructure, and have direct experience with $1M+ ACV contracts
You've operated in a high-volume deal environment and have a track record of scaling yourself — building processes, playbooks, and enablement so you're not the bottleneck
You're highly analytical — comfortable analyzing pricing, building ROI models in Excel, and grounding strategic recommendations in data
You have a point of view. You don't wait to be told what to think — you come with a perspective and know how to back it up
You operate with urgency, ownership, and very little hand-holding
You're based in or able to relocate to San Francisco or New York City
