Reporting to the VP of Total Rewards, this person will lead the design, governance and continuous improvement of global sales incentive programs covering hundreds of Sales and Sales Operations employees.

- Design and optimize global sales incentive plans, including commissions, MBOs and SPIFFs

- Harmonize incentive plans across countries, entities and business units
- Contribute to job architecture, job evaluation, grading and job framework initiatives
- Lead compensation benchmarking and job-pricing analyses
- Model plan costs and turn complex compensation data into actionable insights
- Partner closely with Sales, Finance, Sales Operations, Payroll,



HRBPs and business leaders
- Provide functional guidance within a small, collaborative General Total Rewards team

The ideal profile will bring:

- Approximately 8–10+ years of experience in Total Rewards, Compensation & Benefits or a related HR function
- Hands-on experience designing sales compensation or sales incentive plans
- Strong knowledge of job architecture, job evaluation, grading and compensation benchmarking
- Experience supporting global or multi-country organizations
- Strong numerical, analytical and stakeholder-management capabilities
- Full professional proficiency in English

Experience in technology, SaaS, digital media or another sales-driven international organization would be advantageous but is not essential. Workday experience, exposure to the UK or Irish markets, and a professional compensation certification would also be valuable.
