- Compensation design — Design and iterate on incentive structures across GTM roles, including modelling alternative plan options, performing cost analysis, and providing data‑backed recommendations on accelerators, thresholds, and plan changes.
- Quota modelling — Build and maintain quota models leveraging business plan goals and historical performance trends, ensuring individual targets are fair, stretching, and aligned with company revenue objectives.
- SPIFF ownership — Define, launch, track, and report on SPIFFs and short‑term incentive programs, including ROI reviews to assess whether they drove the intended behavioural and commercial outcomes.
- Stakeholder management — Work with and positively influence cross‑functional teams including Sales, Finance, and People Operations to align on compensation processes, resolve exceptions, and support timely payroll handover.
- Executive communication — Develop dashboards, presentations, and documentation to communicate compensation results, attainment trends, and plan changes in a succinct, easy‑to‑understand manner, to all levels of the organisation.
- Process optimisation — Continuously improve compensation workflows by identifying automation opportunities and leveraging AI tools (including Claude) to streamline analysis, reduce manual effort, and enable the team to focus on higher‑value work.
Role Requirements: What you need to succeed
- 3–5 years of experience in Sales Compensation, Revenue Operations, or a closely related analytical role within a B2B SaaS environment.
- Demonstrated ability to design and model sales compensation plans, with a strong grasp of plan mechanics such as accelerators, draw structures, and multi‑metric plans.
- Experience supporting or leading compensation plan rollouts, including communicating plan changes to sales populations and managing the transition from one plan design to another.
- Strong proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel, including advanced modelling; familiarity with data sources such as Salesforce and Snowflake.
- Experience with Everstage or a comparable ICM platform (Xactly, CaptivateIQ, Varicent, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience working, collaborating, and communicating with multiple stakeholders and cross‑functional teams — you can translate complex compensation mechanics into clear, accessible language for non‑technical audiences.
