  • Partner with Legal, Finance, and internal controls teams to ensure compliance, accuracy, and operational rigor.

    • Cross‑Functional Partnership & Enablement

  • Act as a trusted advisor to Sales and GTM leadership, communicating plan design, performance, and trade‑offs.
  • Enable Sales Leaders and frontline teams through training, documentation, and transparent communication.
  • Build strong relationships across People Operations, Finance, Sales Operations, and Systems teams.

    • Process Improvement & Innovation

  • Identify opportunities to automate, streamline, and enhance end‑to‑end compensation workflows.
  • Leverage AI and modern tools to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy, insights, and scalability.
  • Elevate compensation policies, processes, and system capabilities to support high‑growth GTM motions.
  • Transform workflows by putting AI at the center, building smarter systems and ways of working from the ground up.

  • 7+ years of experience in Sales Compensation, ideally within SaaS or technology GTM organizations.
  • 3+ years building compensation models, dashboards, or multi‑source analytics.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
  • Experience with Xactly or other ICM systems; Salesforce, Google Suite, and Excel proficiency required; SQL familiarity is a plus.
  • Experience applying AI / ML for analysis, forecasting, or process optimization.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in fast‑paced environments.
