As a Senior Manager, you will be a key partner to Sales and Finance leadership, responsible for operationalizing, executing, and managing our new unified commercial framework. You will champion the transition toward standardized, risk-based threshold approvals and rapid deal triage processes, ensuring that escalations are driven by genuine economic risk rather than procedural bottlenecks. You will assist in the ongoing governance of our commercial decision matrices, providing vital feedback to refine these rules and driving consistency and predictability across all global transactions.

Process Optimization & Scalable Governance Partner with Finance and Operations leadership to operationalize and recommend improvements to the Deals Desk's decision matrices and threshold-based routing rules, providing structured feedback to help refine them in alignment with Fortinet’s financial goals. Execute and maintain lean, scalable processes that enhance the efficiency and velocity of the Field Sales teams while maintaining rigorous, audit-ready compliance. Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for the Deals Desk function, focusing on deal velocity, approval consistency, and risk mitigation. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence Drive strong cross-functional alignment with Legal, Revenue Recognition, Order Management, and other internal teams to ensure a seamless and predictable order-to-cash cycle. Collaborate closely with peer Senior Managers and Finance leaders to ensure global consistency in deal execution and process application.
