Senior Sales Compensation Analyst

What you will be doing

• Design the future state comp model. Define how we measure and credit performance across a range of revenue and pricing structures, and translate that into plan mechanics: crediting and recognition timing, ramps, accelerators, decelerators, and true-up / clawback logic appropriate to a variety of deal and revenue types.
• Manage operations during the transition. Architect and operate an approach so that new and existing compensation plans can run concurrently without disrupting payees, and define the path and timeline to converge on a single model.
• Model and pressure-test. Build scenario and cost-of-compensation models — payout curves, quota setting, and expense sensitivity — to de-risk design decisions before they go live.
• Partner with Finance. Ensure compensation design stays aligned with revenue recognition across evolving revenue models, and support compensation expense forecasting, accruals, and budgeting.
• Own the system architecture. Define the CaptivateIQ configuration and the data model needed to support new performance metrics, including the feeds from Salesforce and billing (Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced) required to calculate payouts.
• Set governance. Establish plan documentation, policy, crediting and dispute-resolution rules, and the controls that keep the program audit-ready as it scales.
• Influence leadership. Communicate plan design, trade-offs, and outcomes to GTM and Finance leadership through clear, executive-level storytelling, and build the buy-in needed to drive adoption of new plans.

What you bring with you

• 7-10 years in sales compensation / incentive design, ideally in B2B SaaS.
• Direct, hands-on experience designing and operating commission models beyond subscription or seat-based structures — including exposure to usage- or metric-driven plans.
• Demonstrated experience leading a significant compensation model transition end to end, including running plan models in parallel through the change.
• Deep configuration experience with a modern ICM platform (CaptivateIQ strongly preferred; Xactly, Spiff, or similar acceptable).
• Strong Salesforce data fluency and an understanding of CPQ / billing data structures; familiarity with Salesforce Revenue Cloud is a plus.
• Excellent financial modelling skills and comfort with ambiguity and open-ended design problems.
• Executive-grade written and verbal communication; able to influence Directors and VPs and drive change across a function

How we'll measure success at this level

• Leads a multi-team, multi-phase initiative from concept through implementation, introducing solutions not previously tried at Tines.
• Navigates organisational culture and the decision-making process; trusted to make timely calls under conflicting perspectives without compromising payee trust.
• Acts as a thought leader to the GTM function; communicates insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders through executive-level storytelling
