Want to know if you're a match for this job?
At Semperis, our mission is to be a Force for Good. We believe that when people feel valued, supported, and empowered, they do their best work.
Why this role matters
Sales, channel, renewals, BDR, and corporate bonus participants across Semperis count on being paid correctly and on time. As our Senior Sales Compensation Analyst, you'll own the system and the monthly cycle that make that happen. You'll run calculations in Xactly Incent, tie every result back to its source data, and give Finance a close it can trust. The hardest part of the job is judgment: knowing when a variance is a data fix you can make yourself, and when it's a plan question that needs a leader's approval before anything moves.
What you'll own
· Run the recurring commission and incentive calculation cycle, from source data validation 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, and document every true up and correction before payment is released.
· Reconcile Xactly Incent against Salesforce, HR, payroll, and Finance systems each month and quarter, and support close, including commission accruals, in partnership with our Revenue Analyst.
· Build and maintain audit-ready documentation and controls so the commission process is repeatable and any reviewer can follow it.
· 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 Incent, 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, and help managers and employees understand their plans and statements, including findings they may not want to hear.
What success looks like
· Every cycle closes on time, with an approved payment file and every discrepancy investigated and documented before sign off.
· Each period ties out across systems, with variances explained and evidence ready for auditors.
· Every approved plan is configured, tested, and live before the plan year opens, and every participant holds a current signed plan letter.
· Participants understand their statements, and disputes are resolved with facts rather than escalation.
Who you'll work with
You'll report to our Director of Finance and work closely with the CFO, Revenue Operations leaders and plan owners, and department heads across sales and channel. You'll also partner with HR, Legal, Payroll, Accounting, FP&A, our Xactly technical account manager, and external auditors.
What you'll bring
· 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, 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 public company, 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.

Semperis
View Company ProfileSemperis is the premier, enterprise-grade identity-driven cyber resilience pioneer, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) innovator, and hybrid Active Directory protection powerhouse engineered to operate as the definitive, high-velocity identity lifecycle defense and multi-cloud crisis management layer for global Fortune 500 companies, strategic healthcare systems, and national security networks. The company completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern enterprise infrastructure defense—where security operations center (SOC) cells face catastrophic business paralysis when Tier 0 assets, core directory nodes, or Microsoft Entra ID tenants are targeted, encrypted, or manipulated by sophisticated ransomware syndicates—by deploying an advanced, malware-free recovery and real-time rollback framework. Moving far beyond traditional, passive data backup tools or legacy endpoint security configurations, Semperis natively unifies continuous hybrid AD vulnerability assessments, tamperproof tracking of malicious changes that bypass native logs, automated security chokepoint rollback (Directory Services Protector), and clean 5-click multi-forest AD disaster recovery (AD Forest Recovery) into a unified operational workspace. Trusted by over 1,000 global institutions, including more than 25% of the 100 largest U.S. enterprises, the platform empowers threat hunters to spot exposure paths, neutralize in-progress lateral directory exploits, and compress disaster recovery windows by over 90% with production-hardened precision. Under the hood, its sophisticated technical core—backed by over $380 million in institutional funding from elite titans like KKR, Insight Partners, and Ten Eleven Ventures alongside a $100M+ ARR scaling profile—natively orchestrates automated immutable directory isolation layers, patent-pending risk mitigation graphs, and out-of-band operational containment loops. What sets Semperis apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing passive disaster contingency plans with absolute, bulletproof cyber resilience; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive directory telemetry and rapid biological infrastructure restoration, the firm remains the definitive cornerstone of modern enterprise identity safety and structural system recovery.
