Manager, Sales Compensation

We're looking for a sales compensation leader to own how we pay our go-to-market organisation, and how that changes as our commercial model changes. You will run the engine that pays roughly 350 GTM people accurately and on time, own the design of the plans, quotas and incentives behind it, and lead a small team of analysts.

The timing is the interesting part. Tines is moving from subscription and seat-based pricing to a consumption model, which means designing and running two comp worlds in parallel while we transition. At the same time we are rebuilding the quote-to-cash stack on Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced, which resets crediting and the data that feeds it. You will be central to both.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and coach a small team, and you will also be in the model, in CaptivateIQ, and in the plan documents yourself.

• Own annual plan design in partnership with your Senior compensation analyst, GTM leadership, FP&A and People for all commissioned roles
• Collaborate with Revops business partners on the quota setting process for each function to ensure it aligns with broader compensation strategy and benchmarks
• Model attainment distribution, benchmarks and support finance in ad-hoc cost reporting
• Own and build SPIFFs and non-cash incentive programmes, including President's Club,
• Own plan communication and enablement, so reps and managers understand what they are paid for and can self-serve where needed

• Manage, coach and develop a small team of compensation analysts, and set the standard and what good looks like
• Prioritise the team's work, capacity and quarterly OKRs to ensure a balance of reactiveness and impactful projects
• Stay hands-on. This is a doing and leading role, not a management-only role

• 6+ years in sales compensation, revenue operations, sales finance or a closely related field, with experience managing or formally mentoring analysts
• 2-3 years direct management experience
• Proven ownership of a full incentive compensation cycle for a distributed GTM team, including crediting, calculation, payout and dispute resolution
• Hands-on administration of an ICM platform, ideally CaptivateIQ, including building and testing plan logic yourself
• Demonstrated plan design experience: pay mix, leverage, accelerators and quota setting, with the modelling to back the recommendation
• Strong Salesforce data fluency, and the ability to translate commercial requirements into system and crediting logic
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets modelling, including capacity, attainment and cost of sale models
• Excellent stakeholder management, with the credibility to hold a position with Sales leaders and the judgement to know when to flex
• You can communicate simply, clearly, and directly, especially with senior leaders, and your written work is polished enough to go straight to an executive audience

• Experience with consumption, usage-based or hybrid pricing models and their compensation implications
• Experience through a CPQ or quote-to-cash migration, ideally Salesforce CPQ or Dealhub
• Experience in cybersecurity, IT or AI markets
• Familiarity with ASC 606 commission capitalisation and audit requirements
• Experience compensating post-sales and partner roles, not just AEs
