Major Responsibilities:
Incentive Design & Strategy: Design and implement scalable, goal-aligned incentive plans for Sales and Customer Success teams, including Account Executives, Account Managers, and team leaders.

Own the annual commission planning process in close partnership with Revenue, HR, and Finance, encompassing headcount planning, quota setting, territory design, compensation models, and change management.
Operational Execution: Ensure data accuracy and timely monthly commission calculations while forecasting commissions and analyzing historical performance trends. Administer and optimize CaptivateIQ, including the delivery of individual commission statements and the development of executive dashboards. Provide strategic insights to support sales strategy, client success, and go-to-market execution. Proactively identify and resolve operational bottlenecks, recommending and implementing process or technology enhancements to drive efficiency and effectiveness.
Stakeholder Engagement & Compliance: Serve as a strategic advisor to sales leadership and senior executives, delivering regular insights and actionable recommendations to inform decision-making. Ensure all sales operations activities maintain compliance with reporting standards and data privacy regulations, fostering trust and accountability across the organization.
Potential Future Responsibilities: Support the administration of additional incentive programs, such as corporate bonus plans and professional services incentives. Take ownership of territory and quota management for Sales and Customer Success teams to ensure alignment with strategic goals and operational efficiency.
