Senior Sales Compensation Analyst

SafetyCulture • Kansas City, MO

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

This role exists to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of SafetyCulture’s commission plan administration — reducing payout errors, resolving compensation queries at pace, and maintaining Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) tool health as our Go-to-Market (GTM) headcount scales.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience configuring, administering, and troubleshooting ICM platforms such as SPIFF or CaptivateIQ — including plan logic build, exception handling, and full payout cycle management.
• Strong command of compensation data — comfortable manipulating and validating large datasets in Excel or Google Sheets, with SQL or similar.
• Established background in a Revenue Operations (RevOps) environment, with depth across compensation administration, data workflows, and cross-functional stakeholder management.
• Solid understanding of commission plan mechanics — accelerators, draws, clawbacks, multi-currency payouts, and role-based eligibility rules.
• Familiarity with the end-to-end compensation cycle from accrual to payout, including Finance reconciliation and audit trail requirements.
• Meticulous attention to detail — catches errors before they become disputes, not after.
• Self-directed and autonomous; manages competing close-period deadlines without needing close oversight.
• Translates complex compensation logic into plain language when explaining outcomes to reps and managers.
• Surfaces issues early with a recommended path forward — doesn’t wait until payout day to flag a problem.
• Builds credibility with GTM stakeholders through accurate, consistent work and responsive human-centered communication.
• Uses AI tools to accelerate compensation data analysis, surface anomalies in payout datasets, and draft routine communications to reps and managers.
• Evaluates AI-generated outputs critically before acting on them — particularly in high-stakes payout contexts where an unchecked error affects people’s pay.

Nice To Haves

• Experience leading or supporting an ICM platform migration — including data mapping, parallel testing, and stakeholder validation — is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end administration of the ICM platform ensuring commission calculations are accurate and payouts are processed on time each period.
• Maintain plan configuration in the ICM tool — building and updating logic as plan design evolves, and validating changes ahead of each payout cycle.
• Investigate and resolve compensation discrepancies and disputes, delivering clear, well-documented resolutions to reps and managers within agreed service levels.
• Produce monthly accrual data and submit to Finance within cycle deadlines, with figures reconciled against actuals before submission.
• Support the monthly and quarterly compensation reporting cadence, including payout summaries, attainment reporting, and exception tracking for leadership.
• Partner with Revenue Operations (RevOps), Finance, and People & Culture (P&C) to ensure data flowing into the ICM tool is accurate — including headcount changes, quota updates, and plan eligibility.
• Experience leading or supporting an ICM platform migration — including data mapping, parallel testing, and stakeholder validation — is highly desirable.
• Establish and maintain process documentation and standard operating procedures for administration workflows, supporting audit readiness and team continuity.
• Identify opportunities to automate or streamline manual administration processes and drive those improvements through to implementation.
