Job Summary

The Revenue Compensation Specialist will serve as the end-to-end owner of our sales compensation program — from plan setup and administration in CaptivateIQ to direct engagement with the sales team on comp questions and disputes. This is a highly visible, rep-facing role that will sit at the intersection of Finance, Sales, and RevOps, with accountability for the accuracy, timeliness, and transparency of our monthly commission cycle. This role is a critical investment in how we run compensation at scale. Today, administrative comp responsibilities are fragmented across multiple team members. The Senior Commissions Specialist will consolidate that ownership and free our Salesforce Architect to focus on strategic comp plan design and systems work. The ideal candidate is analytically rigorous, deeply organized, and thrives in a high-trust, rep-facing environment where precision and communication quality both matter.

Exceptional Leadership

The best Andelans show up as brand ambassadors, trusted advisors, and innovation partners to the clients and ecosystems they serve. If your peers would describe you like this, we want to hear from you:

• Low ego, low drama: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had a better idea.
• One team mentality: You break silos. You put the company and mission first above your team alone. You roll up your sleeves when it matters.
• Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve our product, our business, and yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
• Owner, not renter: You see a problem and fix it - or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
• Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert. You consistently get praised for approaching your work through the lens of solving real business problems.
• Trust Builder: You have a track record of earning trust with senior executives, local stakeholders, and partners — the kind that takes time to build and compounds over years. In markets where relationships precede transactions, this is your edge.
• Thrives In Ambiguity: You're energized by building something that doesn't fully exist yet. You create structure where there isn't any, and you stay confident and resourceful when the path isn't clear.

Key Responsibilities

• Commissions Administration: Own end-to-end plan setup, maintenance, and payout validation in CaptivateIQ across all quota-carrying roles.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for rep-facing compensation questions, disputes, and escalations — no middlemen.
• Maintain and govern the compensation data record: start dates, ramp schedules, OTE and quota assignments, and plan versioning.
• Distribute, track, and archive pay plan acknowledgment for all sales team members.
