We’re looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Interim Compensation Analyst to jump in and support our commission processes during a critical transition period. This project is hands-on (Excel-heavy) and will require you to manage the manual processes short-term while automation is being built.

What You'll Do:

• Create commission deal summaries and reconcile discrepancies between sales data, manager expectations, and payroll outputs
• Extract and analyze data across 10–20 sales datasets, covering 120+ reps across 30 entities
• Work directly with sales managers to clarify issues and resolve commission-related questions
• Maintain and troubleshoot manual processes while we build out a long-term automated solution
• Ensure alignment between calculated commissions and what’s been processed by payroll
• Manage ad hoc reconciliation and issue resolution as needed

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in commission or compensation analysis, within a software/SaaS company
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, etc.) and comfort with messy or incomplete data
• A “get-it-done” mindset — we don’t need strategy, we need accuracy, reliability, and execution
• Excellent attention to detail and a high degree of reliability
• Empathy and patience – you'll be dealing with salespeople’s pay
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision
