Compensation ManagerHuman Resources

We are seeking a Sales Incentive Compensation Manager to join the Revenue Operations organization and lead the design and optimization of sales compensation programs. This role is responsible for developing compensation plans that align seller behavior with company objectives, evaluating plan effectiveness through data and analytics, and managing compensation policy interpretation and exception handling.

This is not a payroll or commission-calculation role. Instead, the position focuses on compensation strategy, performance analysis, stakeholder alignment, and adjudication of complex compensation scenarios.

The ideal candidate combines analytical rigor, business acumen, and cross-functional collaboration skills to ensure compensation programs are equitable, scalable, motivating, and aligned with revenue goals.
