About the role

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of progressive compensation experience, including hands-on experience designing, maintaining, and administering sales compensation plans
  • Strong expertise in sales compensation mechanics (pay mix, quotas, accelerators, draw structures, crediting rules) and legal plan documentation
  • Demonstrated experience managing high-volume, non-exempt populations and multi-state/multi-jurisdictional minimum wage compliance and zone-based wage grids
  • Advanced data modeling skills in Excel/Google Sheets (nested formulas, pivot tables, scenario modeling) and direct reporting experience from HRIS/SPM systems
  • Experience with Workday compensation module configuration and data maintenance
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to transform static workflows into responsive, high-output processes
