IonQ is hiring a Senior Manager, Deal & Commercial Operations

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate critical deal execution stages with Sales, balancing GTM speed with strict adherence to the commercial architecture established by the Strategic Pricing Director.
  • Systematically execute a bifurcated deal framework—preventing process bloat by fast-tracking standard transactions, while orchestrating the full multi-stakeholder diligence and approval process for large, non-standard deals.
  • Apply strong commercial instincts to navigate competing priorities between customers, sales velocity, and corporate margin preservation, ensuring outcomes align with approved financial thresholds.
  • Coordinate counterparty diligence, secure verifiable payment terms, and enforce strict routing SLAs to ensure Legal executes trade compliance and export control sign-offs prior to contract execution.
  • Actively coordinate term revisions and secure mandatory approvals across functional domains without unnecessarily impeding sales momentum.
  • Act as the terminal bridge between GTM and Technical Accounting, ensuring contracted revenue is recognized predictably by routing executed contracts to FP&A for system preparation and RevRec determination.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, business administration, accounting, or operations.
  • 5-7 years of direct experience in Deal Desk operations, commercial contract management, or Sales Operations within a high-growth enterprise hardware or SaaS company.
  • Excellent commercial instincts; ability to act collaboratively while maintaining the assertiveness required to enforce financial governance.
  • Multi-stakeholder process management, counterparty diligence, commercial contract review, and payment term structuring.
  • Proven ability to project-manage complex workflows, aligning divergent departmental interests under tight end-of-quarter deadlines.

Nice to Have

  • Experience overseeing multi-stakeholder process management, commercial contract review, and counterparty diligence.
  • Direct experience implementing and managing formal Deal Desk workflows within Salesforce (SFDC) or modern CPQ environments.
  • Familiarity with quantum computing and a demonstrated interest and ability to learn technical concepts.
