The Sales Compensation Associate Role

The Sales Compensation Associate plays a critical role within the Finance organization by ensuring that sales compensation processes run accurately, reliably, and at scale. This role owns the execution of commission payouts, supports compensation reporting and visibility, and partners cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and Operations to ensure compensation programs are clear, effective, and trusted.

You will operate at the intersection of data, systems, and stakeholder support—ensuring compensation outcomes are accurate, timely, and well understood. This role requires strong attention to detail, analytical rigor, and a high level of service orientation to support sales teams and leadership.

We’re looking for someone who brings discipline to operational processes, curiosity to investigate and resolve issues, and ownership to continuously improve how compensation is managed. You will act as a steward of compensation data integrity, a partner to go-to-market teams, and a driver of scalable processes as the organization grows.

This role will thrive with someone who enjoys working across systems, solving data and process challenges, and creating structure in a fast-moving environment. You will have meaningful autonomy while partnering closely with Finance and Sales leadership to ensure compensation programs are executed with precision and clarity.

What You Will Do

  • Calculate and deliver accurate, timely, and consistent commission, bonus, and incentive payouts in accordance with compensation plans.
  • Validate deal and payout inputs across systems (Comp, CRM, CPQ, billing, and related tools) to ensure completeness, accuracy, and alignment with plan rules.
  • Produce recurring compensation reports, including attainment, quota progress, payouts, and plan performance, to provide visibility to Sales, Finance, and leadership.
  • Investigate and resolve compensation discrepancies by reviewing plan rules, deal data, and system inputs; communicate clearly with stakeholders and ensure timely resolution.
  • Identify root causes of discrepancies and implement process or system improvements to prevent recurrence.
  • Partner with Sales, Finance, and leadership to support compensation plan design, including drafting plan language, defining crediting rules, and shaping plan structures.
  • Support operationalization of compensation plans, including documentation, system setup, and rollout to sales teams.
  • Build and maintain scalable compensation processes, improving workflows, reducing manual effort, and increasing reliability as the organization grows.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure clean data handoffs, consistent plan interpretation, and alignment across systems and teams.
  • Deliver a high level of stakeholder support by responding to compensation-related questions with clarity, urgency, and professionalism.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field.
  • 4–7 years of experience in sales compensation, revenue operations, or finance, preferably in a B2G or high-growth environment.
  • Experience managing core components of the sales compensation lifecycle, including plan implementation, administration, payouts, and reporting.
  • Strong systems expertise across sales compensation tools (e.g., QuotaPath, Xactly, CaptivateIQ), CRM (e.g., Salesforce), and financial systems, with the ability to validate data flows and ensure accuracy across systems.
  • Strong analytical skills and spreadsheet proficiency (Excel/Google Sheets), with the ability to model compensation scenarios, investigate discrepancies, and derive insights.
  • Solid understanding of sales compensation design, including commissions, quotas, crediting rules, incentive structures, and plan language.
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with a high degree of ownership, attention to detail, and a proactive, service-oriented mindset.
  • Located in SF and willing to work in the office 4x/week.

Salary Range: $112,000 - $145,000 Annually + Benefits + Equity (if applicable) + Bonus (if applicable)

Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific work location. Information on the benefits offered is here.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
