POSITION OVERVIEW

We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytically sharp Commissions Analyst to join our Finance team on a part-time basis. This role is central to ensuring our ~80-person sales organization is paid accurately, on time, and with full transparency. You will own end-to-end commission processing, rep-facing communication, and cross-functional reporting — working closely with Sales Leadership, HR, and Accounting. The ideal candidate thrives in structured monthly cycles, is comfortable managing multiple compensation structures simultaneously, and can translate complex data into clear, rep-friendly outputs.

SCHEDULE & AVAILABILITY

This is a flexible, remote-friendly role with the following expectations:

• Standard commitment of 20 hours per week, with the ability to flex up to 30 hours during peak periods (e.g., month-end close, plan rollouts) with written prior approval from your manager.
• You are required to maintain consistent availability windows during business hours on designated days each week for rep questions, stakeholder syncs, and real-time collaboration. Specific blocks will be agreed upon at time of offer.
• Outside of required availability windows, you have full flexibility to structure your remaining hours.
• Responsiveness during availability windows is expected — reps and internal stakeholders should be able to reach you reliably during these times.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Commission Processing & Accuracy

• Own the end-to-end monthly commission calculation process for approximately 80 sales reps (AEs, Sales Managers, ISRs, SEs, CSMs, etc) across ~5 distinct compensation structures by role.
• Audit and QA all commission data prior to submission — cross-referencing Salesforce data, comp plans and any applicable SPIFs, accelerators, or manual adjustments.
• Submit finalized commission payroll data to the appropriate internal stakeholder (Finance / Payroll) by the established monthly deadline.
• Maintain a living log of adjustments, retroactive corrections, and exception approvals for audit trail purposes.

Rep-Facing Statements & Communication

• Generate and distribute monthly commission statements to all ~80 reps in both Excel and Google sheets, ensuring each statement is accurate, clearly formatted, and rep-friendly.
• Field inbound questions and disputes from reps on an ad hoc basis during designated availability windows — acknowledging all inquiries within 24–48 hours with full responses delivered within 72 hours.
• Maintain a structured inquiry log to track recurring issues, escalations, and resolution timelines, and surface patterns to leadership.

Accounting & GAAP Reporting Support

• Provide the Accounting team with monthly commission accrual estimates and actuals to support GAAP-compliant expense recognition.
• Prepare and deliver any supplemental commissions data needed for financial close, audits, or board-level reporting.
• Collaborate on commission-related journal entries and variance analysis as needed.

New Hire Comp Plan Administration

• Partner with HR and Sales Leadership to generate individualized compensation plan documents for new hires.
• Manage the distribution and acknowledgment workflow for comp plans, ensuring signed copies are collected and filed in a timely manner.
• Maintain a current, version-controlled library of all comp plan templates by role.

Process Improvement & Documentation

• Identify and flag inefficiencies in the commission calculation or distribution workflow and propose process improvements.
• Maintain thorough documentation of all calculation methodologies, plan rules, and system dependencies so processes are repeatable and auditable.
• Support the buildout or refinement of commission tooling (Excel, Google Sheets, or dedicated commission software) as the business scales.

This is a part-time contract role. Hours beyond 20/week require written prior approval.
