The Senior Deal Management Manager functions as the deal quarterback, accountable for driving deals forward without unnecessary handoffs or delays. This role is the approver for standard commercial deals and no longer operates as an intermediary waiting on downstream approvals. Instead, the role exercises decision authority within established frameworks and partners proactively with Operations, Legal, Finance, Pricing, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth execution with no hold-ups. This role owns deal structure, terms, sequencing, and execution discipline. Pricing is supported by a separate Valuation function (Valuation Analysts and Senior Valuation Analysts), who are responsible for pricing development and analysis; the Deal Management Senior Manager integrates pricing inputs into the overall deal structure and decisioning.
