  • Maintain documentation and communication of sales commission policies and procedures.
  • Analyze sales performance and compensation data to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Provide monthly and quarterly reporting on attainment and plan effectiveness.
  • Help streamline and document compensation workflows, including plan approvals, changes, and exception processes.
  • Collaborate with Sales, RevOps, Finance, and HR teams to collect input and align on compensation strategy.
  • Support the compensation team during sales kickoffs, quarterly reviews, and plan rollout communications.

  • Experience working with Anaplan and/or sales compensation tools (e.g., CaptivateIQ, SalesForce, Xactly) is a plus.
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with a commitment to data accuracy and consistency.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to present findings clearly to non-technical audiences.

  • Experience with business intelligence tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Power BI) preferred.
  • Familiarity with SaaS sales models and terminology (e.g., ARR, ACV, bookings, churn, expansion) preferred.
