About The Position

Incode is seeking a builder-minded Total Rewards leader to join its People leadership team during a period of rapid global growth across North America, LATAM, and EMEA. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, this leader will rebuild and own the company’s global compensation and benefits architecture, from strategy through day-to-day execution. The role is responsible for making rewards competitive, fair, transparent, and aligned with the needs of a scaling company competing for talent in identity verification, AI, and fintech. The position spans global compensation strategy and administration, sales commissions, benefits design, equity governance, and people analytics. The leader will advise executives and partner closely with HRBPs, Finance, Legal, Sales, Sales Operations, and Talent Acquisition. They will also support performance management, promotions, and recognition programs, and present compensation analysis and narratives to executives and, as needed, the board. The ideal candidate is hands-on and comfortable moving between board-level strategy and operational details. They are analytical, practical, trusted by leaders and employees, and able to build effective programs and processes in an ambiguous startup environment.
