Job description

We're expanding our Commissions team and looking for a sharp, detail-oriented, data-driven Commission Analyst to join us.

You'll sit at the intersection of two worlds: the business side that designs comp plans and the technical side that builds the models calculating payouts.

• Act as the connective layer between Sales Comp plan and the team building the payout calculation model

• Team up with analysts on commission calculations and payouts
• Sync source data, generate reports, process account/contract changes
• Implement approved comp adjustments and exceptions with precision
• QA calculations, give payroll files a final check before sign off
• Get ahead of cycle close: prep and validate data, partner with RevOps on completeness
• Build dashboards and reports tracking payout trends, attainment, exceptions
• Surface insights beyond the numbers to shape commission policy and process
• Develop and maintain AI augmented economic models
• Drive process improvements for efficiency and controls

What you have

• 3+ years in commission processing, finance ops, or revenue ops
• Prior exposure to sales compensation or incentive plan administration
• Comfort as a go between for business stakeholders and technical builders
• Strong technical capabilities, high level Excel and familiarity with BI tools
• Strong SQL skills, experience with cloud data warehouses like Athena or BigQuery
• Sharp attention to detail, ownership of a recurring, deadline driven process
• Ability to prioritize when month/quarter end volume ramps up
• Strong written/verbal communication across business and technical audiences
• Genuine interest in AI tools and data automation

Bonus Points

• Experience specifying or QAing a commission/payout calculation engine
• Understanding of SaaS models and ARR mechanics
• Jira or similar ticketing system experience
• Salesforce or other CRM proficiency
• Python for data analysis, automation, and modeling
• AI/ML tool design or implementation in finance
• Being introduced by an AppsFlyer team member
