- Sales Compensation & Variable Pay. Own the end-to-end design, execution, and continuous improvement of global variable pay programs, with a heavy focus on sales teams (commissions, MBO Plans, SPIFFs, and more).
- Job Architecture. Contribute to job evaluation and description processes, position grading, and ongoing maintenance of our Job Framework.

What You Need For This Role
- Experience. 8+ years in a Global Total Rewards function within a matrixed, high-growth organization. Background in tech or digital media with a track record of international sales compensation rollouts strongly preferred.
