Remote Sales Compensation Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

Overview
The GTM Compensation Leader owns the end-to-end strategy, design, and operations of sales compensation across the GTM organization. This role is the connective layer between RevOps, Finance, and Field leadership - translating business strategy into comp plans that drive the right behaviors, scale with the business, and hold up to audit and compliance scrutiny. You will lead a comp team, own the ICM/SPM platform, and be the primary voice on plan design, exception handling, and comp operations.

Core Responsibilities

Comp Plan Design & Strategy 

• Own the design of sales compensation plans across segments (Sales, CS/RA, SDR, Partnership, Solution Engineers and otherwhere applicable) - quota, accelerators, SPIFFs, and plan mechanics.
• Translate GTM strategy (new logo, expansion, retention, Healthy ARR) into comp incentives that drive the intended rep behavior.
• Partner with RevOps, GTM Leadership, and Finance to align comp design to business priorities each planning cycle.

Comp Operations & Exception Handling

• Own end-to-end comp operations: crediting, calculations, payout accuracy, and dispute resolution.
• Build scalable exception-handling logic and governance so one-off requests don't erode plan integrity.
• Ensure timely, accurate payout cycles with clear audit trails.

ICM / SPM Platform Ownership: 

• Serve as the business owner for the ICM/SPM tool (e.g., Varicent, Everstage) - configuration, roadmap, and vendor relationship.
• Lead or oversee implementation, migration, or optimization of the platform as the comp motion scales.
• Ensure the platform reflects current plan logic with minimal manual workaround.

Compliance & Finance Partnership

• Partner with Finance/Accounting to ensure comp expense recognition is compliant with ASC 606.
• Own documentation and controls needed to support audit, SOX, and quarter/year-end close.
• Ensure comp plan changes are properly evaluated for accounting and compliance impact before rollout.

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a sales compensation team; build a scalable operating model as headcount and plan complexity grow.
• Set the bar for accuracy, responsiveness, and trust between the comp function and the field.

Change Management & Communication

• Own communication and rollout of plan changes - clear, simple, and well-timed to the field.
• Build feedback loops with field leadership to catch design issues early.

Scalable Systems & Governance

• Build governance models (approval flows, exception thresholds, plan documentation standards) that scale without adding headcount.
• Maintain a single source of truth for plan documents, rates, and quotas.

Key Qualifications

• Experience leading a sales compensation team within a SaaS/tech environment
• Hands-on experience implementing and/or owning an ICM or SPM tool - CaptivateIQ, Varicent or Everstage strongly preferred
• Proven ownership of, and partnership across, comp plan design and comp operations
• ASC 606 experience (comp expense recognition, accounting partnership)
• Comfortable operating between strategy (plan design, GTM alignment) and execution (calculations, exceptions, payout accuracy)
• Strong communication and change management skills - able to explain comp mechanics simply to the field
• Based in NYC or Salt Lake City
