Sales Compensation Analyst

About This Opportunity

Our talent team at Get A Job.ai is representing a fast-growing cybersecurity organization headquartered in Ireland. This company has built a reputation for innovation and employee-first culture, and they need a detail-oriented Sales Compensation Analyst to own their incentive calculation cycle and ensure every commission participant is paid accurately and on time.

In this role, you'll be the gatekeeper of the monthly commission process. You'll run calculations in Xactly Incent, reconcile across multiple systems, investigate every variance, and deliver an approved payment file to Payroll within the close window. The hardest part of the job is judgment: knowing when you can resolve a discrepancy yourself, and when it requires leadership approval before anything moves.

Responsibilities

• Run the recurring commission and incentive calculation cycle from source data validation through to an approved payment file delivered to Payroll within the monthly close window
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies in assignments, splits, credits, quotas, rates, currencies, and adjustments; document every correction before payment is released
• Reconcile Xactly Incent against Salesforce, HR, payroll, and Finance systems each month and quarter; support commission accruals in partnership with the Revenue Analyst
• Build and maintain audit-ready documentation and controls so the commission process is repeatable and reviewable
• Administer Xactly Incent across all company plans, keeping participant data, access, hierarchies, quotas, rates, and plan assignments current as people join, move, and leave
• Lead the annual implementation of every compensation plan in Xactly, working with Revenue Operations and the Global Compensation Director through configuration, testing, and approvals
• Own plan letter administration end-to-end, from preparation and issuance through signature tracking
• Turn large datasets into clear reporting on attainment, commissions, and payments; help managers and employees understand their plans and statements

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in incentive compensation or commission operations
• Hands-on experience administering Xactly Incent, including plan configuration, participant data, hierarchies, quotas, and rates
• Strong reconciliation skills with a track record of tracing variances to root cause across multiple systems
• Advanced Excel skills, including formulas, pivot tables, and lookups
• Experience maintaining documented procedures and audit evidence
• Clear, steady communication when explaining plan mechanics or delivering unwelcome findings
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Workday and NetSuite
• Experience supporting global incentive programs across multiple countries or currencies
• Experience in a high-tech or SaaS environment
• Familiarity with US GAAP including ASC 606, and background in variable pay payroll, Sales or Revenue Operations, accounting, audit, or financial analysis
