POSITION SUMMARY

The Head, Deal Desk is a senior member of BoxHouse's revenue function, responsible for the underwriting rigor, pricing discipline, and market prioritization that underpin every deal the company signs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Underwriting Standards & Deal Governance

Set and maintain BoxHouse's underwriting standards across all deal types, ensuring consistency in how risk, margin, and delivery feasibility are evaluated.
Review and approve deal packets for completeness and accuracy prior to review by the Deal Approval Committee, including underwriting analysis, pricing rationale, and risk assessment.
Serve as gatekeeper for deal quality, flagging structural, financial, or operational risks before deals reach the approval stage.
Continuously improve underwriting criteria based on deal outcomes, portfolio performance, and evolving market conditions.

Pricing Strategy

Set and own pricing across product lines, verticals, and deal structures, balancing competitiveness with margin discipline.

Develop pricing frameworks for custom, volume, and framework agreements, including leasing versus direct-sale structures.
Monitor market and competitive pricing dynamics, adjusting strategy as needed in coordination with the CRO.

Market Research & Prioritization

Lead market research to identify and prioritize the markets and verticals where BoxHouse should focus go-to-market investment – coordinating with CRO and head of product.

Translate research into actionable prioritization frameworks for the sales organization, informing where Industry Sales Leads focus their efforts.
Track market trends, regulatory shifts, and competitive movement that could affect demand or pricing across target verticals.

CRO Partnership & Team Leadership

Act as a close partner to the CRO, supporting CRO-level initiatives, board and investor materials, and key external relationships as needed.

Manage a team of analysts responsible for underwriting support, logistics coordination, and operations work that enables the sales organization.
Set team priorities, review analyst work product for quality and consistency, and develop team members' underwriting and analytical capabilities.
Build scalable processes and tools (templates, models, checklists) that improve deal desk throughput as deal volume grows.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Underwriting rigor — able to evaluate deal risk, margin, and feasibility with consistency and sound judgment, even under time pressure.

Pricing strategy — comfortable balancing commercial competitiveness against margin and risk discipline across varied deal structures.
Analytical and research-driven — skilled at synthesizing market data into clear, actionable prioritization recommendations.
Executive-level communication — able to prepare and present deal packets and market analysis clearly to a Deal Approval Committee and CRO.
Cross-functional fluency — conversant with sales, finance, operations, and logistics considerations that affect deal structuring and execution.
People leadership — experience building, coaching, and managing a team of analysts to a high standard of quality and consistency.
Process orientation — able to design and scale repeatable frameworks (underwriting models, pricing tools, deal templates) as deal volume grows.

QUALIFICATIONS

6–12+ years of experience in deal desk, underwriting, revenue operations, corporate development, or a related finance/strategy function, ideally within real estate, infrastructure, or manufactured/modular housing.

Demonstrated experience setting underwriting standards and/or pricing strategy in a B2B or institutional sales environment.
Experience preparing materials for and presenting to a deal or investment approval committee.
Prior people management experience, ideally leading analyst-level teams in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.

Bachelor's degree required; MBA or related advanced degree preferred.
