Sales Compensation Analyst (Contract)

Armada • United States (Remote), CA

5h • $40 - $61 • Remote

About The Position

Armada is seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Sales Compensation Analyst Contractor to manage the execution of Armada’s global sales compensation program. This role is part of the Revenue Operations organization, reports to the Director of Sales Operations, and collaborates with Sales, Customer Success, Finance, and Legal to ensure plans are correctly structured, payouts are timely, and representatives receive clear answers. The Sales Compensation Analyst will be responsible for the monthly commission close in CaptivateIQ, maintaining the payee roster and plan assignments, building and testing plans for approved designs, and producing plan documents, quota letters, and cost models to support each rollout. As Armada’s compensation program expands rapidly across new business lines and geographies, this is a build-and-run position: you will stabilize a nascent system, document it, and hand it over in a clean state. This role is remote-based within the continental US and is a part-time contract engagement of approximately 190–250 total hours from October 2026 through January 2027, averaging 12–16 hours per week, with increased activity in late October and throughout January. The scope focuses on the monthly close calendar, two plan rollouts, and preparation for the FY28 plan build, with the possibility of an extended contract or full-time role for strong performance.

• Experience producing plan documents, terms and conditions, and quota letters, and managing e-signature workflows in DocuSign or a similar platform
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to balance speed and accuracy against a fixed close calendar
• Clear written communication, including the ability to document process in runbooks that others can follow
• Ability to work independently with limited supervision and to escalate the right questions at the right time

Responsibilities
