Sr. Commissions & Order Operations Manager - LATAM

About the role

As a Sr. Manager, Commissions and Order Operations at Backblaze you'll own two interconnected functions that together govern how deals are structured, approved, and ultimately rewarded. You will build and run a deal desk process from the ground up, establishing approval workflows, order form standards, and pre-close operational rigor, while also owning the end-to-end commissions cycle that depends on clean deal data flowing out the other side. The intersection of these two domains means the same person who ensures a deal is structured correctly also ensures the rep gets paid accurately and on time.

• Experience managing sales commissions end-to-end (calculation, disputes, accruals)
