• Own monthly reporting & analytics for assigned segments — deliver attainment summaries and payout forecasts to Sales, Finance/Accounting, and Rev Ops; maintain KPI dashboards and perform ad hoc analysis on performance trends and budget adherence.
• Contribute to plan design for assigned segments — Support and, where designated, independently own compensation plan inputs for assigned sales segments, including rate validation, accelerator analysis, and rules of engagement; build financial models and scenario analyses that inform quota-setting and plan design decisions; connect compensation mechanics to broader outcomes across Finance, HR, and Sales Strategy
• Define and improve processes and compliance — document and continuously improve comp processes; maintain adherence to internal compliance standards and accounting rules; ensure role changes, new hires, and terminations are reflected accurately across Xactly and downstream systems
• Lead assigned cross-functional initiatives - Drive projects spanning Sales, Finance, HR, and Rev Ops; use data and structured analysis to influence stakeholders and build alignment across functions
• Leverage AI to elevate comp operations — actively incorporate AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, accelerate reporting, and surface insights; partner with the Head of Sales Compensation to identify and scale AI-driven improvements across the team 

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 8+ years of hands-on sales compensation administration experience with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of commission processes in a high-growth environment
