Senior Compensation Manager

About the team & opportunity

What’s so great about working on Calendly’s People team?

We are the foundation that aims to set up our people for success to do the best work of their life at Calendly.

Why do we need you? Well, we are looking for a Senior Compensation Manager who brings a strong background in compensation program management, project management, and data analysis. You will report to the Senior Manager of Total Rewards & People Operations as a senior individual contributor on the team and subject matter expert. You will be responsible for compensation benchmarking, leading compensation cycles, and keeping Calendly in compliance with compensation-related legislation.

A day in the life of a Senior Compensation Manager at Calendly

On a typical day, you will be working on:

• Manage Calendly’s bi-annual compensation cycles, including our Mid-Year Merit cycle, bi-annual Promotion cycle, our Top Performer Bonus cycles, and equity top ups — ensuring data integrity, stakeholder alignment, and on-time delivery.
• Serve as the trusted compensation advisor for offer decisions, promotions, retention scenarios, and off-cycle adjustments — balancing market competitiveness with internal pay equity.
• Partner with People Business Partners and managers to build compensation literacy across the organization, equipping them to have clear, confident pay conversations with their teams.
• Maintain and optimize Calendly's salary band and job leveling framework, ensuring our structure is clear, consistent, and competitive as the company grows.
• Guide People Business Partners and the Talent Acquisition team with job leveling, job family placement, and classification.
• Proactively monitor and respond to compensation legislation changes, translating regulatory updates into policy action and stakeholder communications.
• Own Workday compensation data, including building job profiles, grade profiles, and assist our Business Systems team with building compensation cycles.
• Partner with Total Rewards leadership and Finance to develop clear, executive-ready Compensation Committee materials — synthesizing compensation data, program updates or proposals, and market benchmarking into compelling narratives that support informed board-level decision-making.
• Lead Calendly's participation in benchmark surveys, analyze market data, and surface competitive insights that inform compensation strategy and leadership decision-making.
• Lead and contribute to ad hoc compensation projects and special initiatives — translating ambiguous business needs into structured, data-driven recommendations.

What do we need from you?

• 8+ years of experience in compensation management, ideally within high-growth SaaS or tech companies
• Strong project management and organizational skills
• Advanced knowledge in Google Sheets/Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, V-lookups, IF/THEN, and advanced formulas
• Experience managing third-party compensation vendors like Radford
• Experience in Workday, including Core and Advanced Compensation
• Deep knowledge and experience of compensation legislation, including FLSA, federal/state exemption thresholds, and Fair Pay regulations.
