You’ll make sure every payout is accurate, on time and audit-ready. You’ll also build the automation, controls and reporting that keep compensation in line with business results as Sigma grows. The role suits a self-starter who wants full ownership, can bring structure to ambiguous problems, and works well across Finance, Revenue Operations, People and GTM leadership.\nKey Responsibilities\nCommission & Incentive Administration\nOwn sales compensation administration end to end: setting up plan participants, distributing plans, calculating and validating commissions, confirming payments are ready, and submitting to payroll. You’re accountable for accuracy and timeliness.\nSpot anomalies before payroll and hold payments when a payout looks wrong, so we don’t overpay. Track and carry out decisions on exceptions so every change is documented and can be traced.\nInvestigate and resolve crediting errors, quota misalignments, payout disputes and escalations. Explain the root cause and recommend fixes to leadership.\nSupport commission accruals, expense reporting under ASC 340-40 (the accounting rule for capitalizing commissions), and roll-up reporting during Finance’s month-end close.\nConsumption & Plan Mechanics\nAdminister and validate compensation tied to both committed bookings and consumption, including commit, ramp and true-up logic.\nHelp put quota rules, crediting structures, accelerators, SPIFs and payout policies into practice as plans change.\nWrite clear plan documents, policies and FAQs that turn complex compensation logic into language sellers and managers can follow.\nSystems, Data & Automation\nManage Sigma’s compensation platform with the broader team, and keep data flowing cleanly between Salesforce, the HRIS, the comp system.\nCheck data against the systems of record before every payout cycle.\nBuild reporting and dashboards in Sigma that give sellers, managers and Finance visibility into attainment and payouts.\nFind where AI and automation can do real work, such as catching anomalies, sorting exceptions and reconciling data, and roll it out to reduce manual effort.\nControls & Cross-Functional Partnership\nBuild controls, repeatable workflows and documentation that keep the function audit-ready as Sigma scales.\nPartner with Finance, Revenue Operations, People, Payroll, Legal and Data. Frame each decision around the seller’s experience, risk and compliance, and act as the first point of contact for compensation escalations.\nQualifications\n5+ years of hands-on sales compensation administration, ideally at fast-scaling SaaS companies.\nExperience with consumption-based or hybrid (commit + usage) compensation models, and an understanding of how plan mechanics influence seller behavior.\nWorking knowledge of quotas, target incentive (OTI), accelerators, overlays, SPIFs and crediting rules.\nAdvanced proficiency with Salesforce, Sigma and spreadsheet tools for modeling and analysis.\nStrong data validation skills, with a track record of catching anomalies and turning findings into clear recommendations.\nAbility to influence cross-functional partners without direct authority, and to explain complex logic to both technical and non-technical audiences.\nComfort using AI tools day to day, with a practical view of where automation helps and where human judgment is still needed.\nExceptional attention to detail, a strong systems mindset, and the ability to run reliable processes with minimal oversight.\nBonus: hands-on experience configuring a modern comp tool (CaptivateIQ, QuotaPath or similar), and exposure to ASC 340-40 or audit controls.\nAdditional Job details\nThe base salary range for this position is $165K - $200K annually.\nCompensation may vary outside of this range depending on a number of factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies and experience. Base pay is one part of the Total Package that is provided to compensate and recognize employees for their work at Sigma Computing.
