Sales Compensation Analyst (Commercial Modeling & Governance Automation)

Overview

Grade Level (internal use): 10

This role supports sales compensation by engineering automated, audit-ready data models. Responsibilities include translating complex commercial deal structures and governance requirements into standardized business rules within compensation calculation engines, building reconciliation and variance detection processes, and delivering enterprise reporting and governance controls.

Responsibilities and Impact

• Translate and engineer complex commercial deal structures—including multi-year enterprise agreements, joint-production credit splits, co-selling models, and overlay allocations—into structured algorithmic logic and standardized business rules within the compensation calculation engine.
• Model and simulate the financial impact of proposed changes to compensation plans and crediting rules using Python and SQL scenario analyses on historical payout data.
• Build and maintain automated reconciliation engines using Python, Alteryx, and SQL to cross-compare ledger revenues, CRM bookings, and calculated commissionable revenue.
• Engineer variance detection models to automatically surface anomalies such as revenue double-counting, territory misalignment, unassigned account credits, and clawback mismatches.
• Design and maintain governance control frameworks, including systematic tracking of all manual adjustments with origin, justification, and approval trails.
• Direct comprehensive quarterly and annual SOX audit documentation and run automated control test queries to demonstrate end-to-end calculation traceability.
• Architect and maintain enterprise Power BI reporting suites, including advanced data models using DAX and Power Query M.
• Develop real-time Data Health and Anomaly monitoring dashboards.
• Present variance summaries, root cause analyses, and actionable insights to Finance and Commercial leadership.
• Standardize operations by converting fragmented legacy workflows into structured SOPs with clear SLAs.
• Serve as a senior technical point of contact for Commercial and Finance stakeholders, translating complex data logic and calculation outcomes into plain-English explanations.
• Conduct technical peer reviews of queries, code updates, and configuration changes prior to production deployment.

Requirements

Basic Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in sales compensation analytics, financial modelling, or commercial data governance within a multinational organisation.
• Advanced SQL proficiency for data modelling, validation, and complex multi-table reconciliation across ledger revenues, CRM systems, and compensation engines.
• Hands-on experience using Python/Pandas or Alteryx to build automated reconciliation workflows, variance detection models, and data pipeline scripts.
• Advanced Power BI expertise, including data modelling, star schema design, complex DAX measures, and Power Query M transformations for enterprise-level reporting suites.
• Proven experience operating within SOX-compliance frameworks, including designing audit-ready controls, running automated control test queries, and producing end-to-end calculation traceability documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working within B2B SaaS or subscription-based sales compensation environments, including enterprise crediting rules, quota structures, and multi-tier incentive plan mechanics.
• Demonstrated experience presenting complex data logic, calculation methodologies, and compensation model outcomes to Finance and Commercial executive leadership in clear, non-technical language.
• Experience translating complex commercial contract mechanics—including multi-year enterprise agreements, joint-production credit splits, co-selling models, and overlay allocations—into structured algorithmic logic within enterprise compensation calculation engines.
• Experience partnering with Revenue Operations and Legal/Deal Desk to evaluate non-standard transaction structures for data feasibility and downstream compensation calculation readiness.
• Experience building real-time data health and anomaly monitoring dashboards that surface unmapped accounts, missing credit assignments, adjustment volume trends, and pipeline integrity issues.
• Experience designing and maintaining standardised adjustment protocols with systematic approval trail tracking for manual compensation overrides.
• Proven experience conducting technical peer reviews of SQL queries, automation scripts, and configuration changes prior to deployment in production compensation environments.
