ID.me is a full-time, in-office culture. Unless a specific job description explicitly states otherwise, all roles are on‑site five days per week at one of our offices in McLean, VA; Mountain View, CA; NewYorkCity, NY; or Tampa, FL. Certain roles - such as field-based sales or other remote-by-design positions - may have different work arrangements as noted in their individual postings.

At ID.me, we embrace the thoughtful use of AI tools in our daily work and there are even occasions where we leverage AI in our hiring process. However, during the interview process, we want to understand your individual skills and experiences. Therefore, we have guidelines on how AI can be appropriately used during your application and interviews which can be found here .

About the Role

ID.me is hiring a Manager of Sales Compensation to own the day-to-day design, administration, and analysis of our sales incentive programs. This role sits within Revenue Operations and works in close partnership with Finance, People/HR, and Sales leadership to make sure our compensation plans are accurate, motivating, and aligned to company priorities.

Given ID.me's consumption-based revenue model, sales compensation isn't a simple commission-on-bookings calculation - plans need to account for usage ramp, contract structure, and revenue timing. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys the mix of rigorous quantitative modeling and hands-on plan administration, and who wants ownership over a program that directly shapes seller behavior and business outcomes.

Why This Role Matters

Sales compensation is one of the most direct levers a company has to shape seller behavior - and getting it right (or wrong) shows up immediately in pipeline quality, deal structure, and revenue outcomes. This role gives you ownership of that lever, with real visibility into how compensation design connects to ID.me's broader revenue strategy.

• Calculate and process monthly/quarterly commission payouts with accuracy and auditability, partnering with Finance on accruals and reconciliation

• Analyze plan performance against pipeline, bookings, and revenue outcomes to identify where incentives are (or aren't) driving desired behavior
• Model the financial impact of proposed plan changes, including scenario analysis for new plan structures, quota changes, or org redesigns
• Partner with Revenue Operations and FP&A on quota-setting methodology, tying quotas to territory potential and company revenue targets
• Build and maintain dashboards/reporting that give Sales leadership and Finance real-time visibility into attainment, payouts, and plan cost
• Serve as the primary point of contact for sales reps and managers on compensation questions, disputes, and plan interpretation
• Partner with People/HR on new hire comp setup, role changes, leaves, and terminations as they affect compensation
• Support Legal and Finance in maintaining compliant, well-governed compensation policies and approval workflows
• Assist in preparing materials for compensation plan reviews and governance/committee discussions
