Associate, Deal Desk
Role
We are seeking a high-performing Associate, Deal Desk to support deal desk execution, pricing strategy, RFP responses, and contract administration.
This role is designed for someone with 0–2+ years of experience who is analytically rigorous, highly detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-visibility environment. You will work closely with Commercial Strategy, Sales, Finance, Legal, Product, and Leadership to ensure deals are structured, priced, approved, and executed efficiently and in alignment with commercial guardrails.
Over time, this role will evolve from execution support into ownership of discrete workstreams, analyses, and processes. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate looking to build a strong foundation in commercial strategy, pricing, deal desk operations, and healthcare technology, with exposure to senior leadership and enterprise customers.
This role is fully remote within the US

• Partner closely with Legal to manage the contract lifecycle within the CLM system (e.g., Ironclad), including version control, approvals, and repository hygiene.
• Take first pass review of redlines on behalf of commercial and legal teams.
• Facilitate contract execution through the CLM platform, track signature status, and ensure fully executed agreements are distributed to internal and external stakeholders.
