About Horizon3.ai

Horizon3 uses real-world attacks to safely show what attackers can actually do in your environment—so you can fix and prove what matters. Backed by NEA.

About the role

We are hiring a hands-on owner for how Horizon3 designs incentives for its global go-to-market organization. You will build the incentive architecture that turns our revenue plan into the quota structures, plans, and payouts that motivate and reward our sellers. This is a design-first, high-ownership role: you will set the compensation philosophy, build the plans, and put the modeling and governance in place to keep them fair, motivating, and defensible as we scale.

What they're looking for

  • 10 or more years in sales compensation, incentive design, revenue operations, or sales finance, with meaningful depth specifically in incentive plan design
  • Real design experience rather than administration experience. You have authored plan structures, accelerator design, and crediting rules, and defended them to executives who pushed back
  • Deep experience with quota methodology at scale, including proration, ramp design, attainability analysis, and overlay and management quota construction
  • Advanced financial modeling skills. You can stress-test a design before it ships and diagnose a plan already in market
  • Strong command of incentive compensation platforms and the configuration logic underneath them, and fluency in Salesforce as the crediting and attainment source of truth
  • A builder mindset. You are energized by ambiguity and comfortable creating structure where none exists
