About the Role

As the operational owner of global SPIFF programs and end-to-end payee lifecycle management, this role ensures that every compensation event is calculated precisely, governed rigorously, and resolved with integrity. This function handles complex and non-standard compensation scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Architect and execute active payee lifecycle workflows, managing system setup, prorated quotas, draw schedules, and mid-year adjustments.
• Own departure and offboarding precision, computing final settlements, managing claw back reconciliations, and building automated routines to link HRIS platforms with compensation engines.
• Conduct forensic financial investigations and resolve disputes, leading investigations into sales disputes and contested crediting splits.
• Serve as the operational governance and audit liaison, partnering with the Governance and Compliance team to operationalize policies and compile audit-ready exception packages.

Requirements

• 5+ years in sales compensation administration, incentive program management, or sales operations within a multinational organization.
• Proven track record designing, tracking, and executing tactical commercial incentive programs, SPIFFs, and accelerator campaigns.
• Demonstrated experience managing payee lifecycle mechanics including quota proration, draw and guarantee accounting, and final offboarding commission calculations.
• Advanced SQL proficiency for querying multi-table databases, HRIS tables, and transaction ledgers.
• Hands-on experience using at least one automation or reconciliation tool (Python/Pandas, Alteryx, or Excel/VBA).
• Practical administration experience with at least one enterprise incentive platform (Varicent, Xactly, Anaplan, or SAP Commissions).
• Practical administration experience with at least one HRIS platform, including Workday.
• Experience building automated SPIFF tracking engines or reconciliation routines that integrate HRIS data with enterprise compensation systems in real time.
• Experience conducting post-campaign ROI analytics and spend assessments using Power BI.
• Demonstrated experience conducting technical, evidence-based financial investigations into high-value sales disputes.
• Experience compiling audit-ready exception packages and SOX documentation.
