It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?\nAbout the Role\nFlex is looking for an experienced contractor to support our Revenue Strategy & Operations team on sales compensation. Most of the work is building our commissions capitalization approach with Accounting. You'll take the plans we have today and turn them into a defensible, repeatable capitalization schedule that holds up in an audit. You will size the price and you'll also help model new compensation plans and pick up analytics requests from Revenue leadership. The role is about 30 hours a week, and the hours can flex up or down for the right person.\nWhat you'll do\nCommissions capitalization\nPartner with Accounting to apply ASC 340-40 to Flex's commission plans. \nBuild the calculations that show recoverability: link commission dollars to the units and revenue they generated, and work out the capitalizable portion when payouts exceed the related revenue.\nRecommend and document amortization periods and methods, such as expected customer life or portfolio approaches.\nBuild a repeatable monthly or quarterly capitalization and amortization schedule that runs off the existing comp run outputs. Hand it off with documentation that a non-author can run.\nPrepare audit-ready support and documentation of methodology.\nPoint out plan-design changes that would make more of the commission spend clearly capitalizable.\nNew plan design support \nModel proposed plan changes for the 2027 plans: quotas, pay curves, accelerators, caps and SPIFFs.\nEstimate plan cost against OTE and SPIFF budgets, and run scenario analysis for leadership.\nDraft plan documents and rollout materials alongside Alex.\nKey Qualifications\n6-8+ years in sales compensation, revenue or technical accounting, or FP&A, with direct exposure to commission plans.\nHands-on experience implementing ASC 606 / 340-40 commission capitalization, not just maintaining someone else's schedule.\nAdvanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling. Precise, organized and comfortable being audited.\nAbility to explain accounting mechanics clearly to non-accountants and comp mechanics to Accounting.\nSelf-directed. Can deliver with light oversight on a part-time schedule.\nSQL (or AI-assisted querying) and experience with Snowflake, Sigma and Salesforce data.\nBackground at a comp consultancy (Alexander Group, SBI, Simon-Kucher) or Big 4 audit or advisory.\nExperience building comp plans 0 to 1 in a high-growth environment.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nFirst 30 days: inventory of current plans with a capitalization classification for each payout type, capitalization mechanism calculated for AE and AMs\nBy Q4 close: capitalization and amortization schedule live and tied to comp run outputs, with documentation ready for audit.\nOngoing: plan scenario models delivered on time for 2027 planning, and analytics requests turned around within agreed SLAs.\nCompensation\nThis is a contract position with an hourly rate of $125-$165 per hour, commensurate with experience and our internal leveling guidelines. Flex takes a market-based approach to pay and utilizes a geographic pay differential based on a cost of labor index; if you are located outside of our Tier 1 (NYC/Bay Area) markets, your rate will be adjusted to align with the market conditions of your specific geographic zone. There is potential for this engagement to convert to a full-time role, in which case compensation would be aligned to the full-time salary range and benefits for the level.\nLife at Flex\nWe understand that it takes a diverse team of highly intelligent, curious, determined, empathetic, and self aware people to grow a successful company. Our HQ is located in New York City, but we have employees located throughout the US, Australia, Canada and South America. We are growing quickly, but deliberately, with a focus on building an inclusive culture. Our dynamic team has incredible perspectives to share, just as we know you do, and we take great pride in being an equal opportunity workplace.\nOffices\nRoles posted in New York, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City are hybrid positions with on-site expectations of 2-3 days per week in our local offices. For candidates outside of these areas, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.\nBenefits\nFor full-time U.S. employees we offer:\nCompetitive medical, dental, and vision\nCompany equity\n401(k) plan with company match \nUnlimited paid time off + 13 company paid holidays\nParental leave \nFree Flex subscription\n For full-time non-U.S. employees, we offer:\nCompetitive compensation + company equity\nUnlimited PTO","description_format":"text","description_chars":5219,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave","Relocation assistance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Buy Now, Pay Later"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T21:37:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/flex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/flex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T23:37:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":35783,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2004},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2004"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fflex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fflex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fflex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/flex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fflex-sales-planning-compensation-contractor"}]}
