## About the role

We are looking for an Incentive Compensation Systems Manager to join our Incentive Compensation (IC) team and drive the systemization, automation, and continuous improvement of our commission operations. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership, reporting to the Senior Manager, Incentive Compensation.

## What they're looking for

- Continuous Improvement Cadence: Set up a repeatable process for the IC team to keep identifying and retiring manual work, as an ongoing discipline of finding the next bottleneck and fixing it
- Cross-Functional Enablement: Act as the go-to resource translating IC process needs into system requirements, and translating system/data constraints back into practical process recommendations the team can act on
- Operational Excellence: Support urgent, ad-hoc requests during payout cycles while keeping an eye on the long-term goal. Building yourself out of the fire-fighting role by systemizing the fixes
- Process Improvement Mindset: A demonstrated track record of finding manual, broken, or inefficient processes and systematizing them, not just documenting problems but building the solution
- SQL & Data Fluency: Hands-on SQL experience and comfort querying and reconciling data across systems to diagnose process gaps and validate automated outputs
- Cross-Functional Communication: Strong communication skills, with the ability to sit with a team, understand how they actually work day-to-day, and translate that into clear systems requirements and process changes
