About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use): 10

The Role:

The Sales Compensation Analyst (Compensation & Payroll Operations) is a critical technical and operational position within the global Sales Compensation team.

The Team:

You will join the global Sales Compensation team — a high-impact, technically sophisticated group at the operational heart of S&P Global's commercial engine. Spanning time zones and geographies, we combine enterprise system precision with financial rigor to ensure 1,500+ salespeople worldwide are paid accurately and on time, every single cycle. We are a team that values methodical problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to scalable, auditable, and compliant operations.

Responsibilities and Impact:

• Drive end-to-end commission calculation cycles for 1,500+ global payees across all commercial business units — delivering 100% mathematically precise, on-time payroll files to regional Finance and Payroll teams across the US, EMEA, and APAC.
• Administer and configure the enterprise Xactly platform (Incent, Connect & Analytics) — owning crediting rule setup, tiered accelerator matrices, split-crediting algorithms, batch ETL pipeline monitoring, and participant security profiles that directly reflect published annual compensation plans.
• Execute the full payee lifecycle — from configuring new hire profiles and quota ramp models, to implementing mid-period role transitions, LOA credit adjustments, and producing audit-ready departure settlement calculations.
• Build and optimize advanced SQL queries and Python/Alteryx automation scripts to perform high-volume ledger-to-payout reconciliations, pre-payroll sanity checks, distribution curve analyses, and root-cause remediation of calculation anomalies before file delivery.
• Lead annual platform readiness activities — authoring UAT test scripts, executing calculation logic change validation, managing plan roll-forwards, and maintaining comprehensive SOPs and runbooks that keep operational cycles repeatable and defensible.
• Serve as the frontline operational liaison to the Central Governance & Compliance team — delivering automated calculation logs, approval artifacts, and clear mathematical payout explanations to global sales leaders, managers, and representatives across multiple time zones.

Key Responsibilities:

Xactly System Administration & Configuration Management

• Serve as the core hands‑on administrator for Xactly Incent, Xactly Connect, and Xactly Analytics, overseeing rule configurations, crediting logic, participant hierarchies, and payout rate tables.
• Configure and maintain crediting rules, plan logic, tiered accelerator matrices, and split-crediting algorithms inside Xactly to reflect published annual compensation plans.
• Manage batch ETL integrations and data sync pipelines between upstream CRM/data warehouse platforms and Xactly Connect, proactively monitoring API sync jobs and resolving ingestion failures.
• Lead platform readiness for annual plan roll-forwards, plan parameter cutovers, and system testing; author test scripts and perform User Acceptance Testing for calculation logic changes.
• Administer participant security profiles, statement release workflows, and audit tracking within Xactly to ensure strict data privacy and system integrity.

End-to-End Commission Calculation & Payroll Execution

• Own and execute the monthly and quarterly commission calculation process across all global commercial business units, ensuring 100% timeliness and mathematical precision.
• Lead high-pressure calculation cycles against strict monthly payroll cutoffs, coordinating data freezes, calculation runs, manual adjustment validations, and final payroll sign-offs.
• Generate, reconcile, and format gross-to-net payroll transmission files, ensuring seamless handoffs to regional Payroll and Finance teams in the US, EMEA, and APAC.
• Perform automated pre-payroll sanity checks, distribution curve analyses, and historical variance spot-checks to catch calculation spikes, zero-payout outliers, and crediting bugs before file delivery.
• Execute calculation reruns, retroactive plan corrections, and adjustment batches within established cutover windows.

Payee Lifecycle Operational Execution

• New Hires & Onboarding: Configure new payee profiles in Xactly, assign plan rules, set up draw and guarantee schedules, and apply effective-dated quota ramp models based on start dates.
• Mid-Period Role Changes & Promotions: Implement plan transitions, target prorations,
