The company's commitment to sustainability and innovation in supply chain solutions makes it a unique place to drive impactful operational excellence.

About This Role

As an Essential Operations Deal Desk Associate, you will be the linchpin for structuring and executing complex multi-product deals that directly impact Prologis' strategic growth. This role combines financial modeling, cross-functional collaboration, and process automation to streamline deal workflows from intake to close. You'll have the opportunity to leverage AI tools to build scalable systems that improve efficiency across the entire deal lifecycle.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing new deal requests in Salesforce, prioritizing those requiring complex structuring. You'd then collaborate with Sales and Legal to draft contract terms, run financial models to ensure margin targets, and use CLM tools to route approvals. Afternoons could involve analyzing deal data to identify automation opportunities, testing a new Zapier workflow, and preparing a presentation for IT on scaling AI-driven contract reviews.
