About the Role

Depending on company size and plan complexity, implementations run anywhere from 10 weeks to a year.

We’re hiring a Principal Professional Services Consultant to join a growing team leading these implementations end-to-end. This is a highly client-facing role: you’ll move fluidly between customer meetings and hands-on build work, owning the project timeline while managing customer expectations along the way. It’s a strong fit for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex compensation problems, and wants the pace and ownership of a fast-moving, startup environment.

What You'll Bring

• Background in sales compensation, as a consultant or as an administrator/practitioner using a comp tool in-house.

• 10+ years of experience as a consultant or implementation professional, with demonstrated project leadership (managing other consultants is not required).

• Strong grasp of data modeling, formulas, and spreadsheet/database tools (Excel or similar); comfort with object-oriented and relational data concepts.

• Excellent time management, able to move seamlessly between client meetings and hands-on build work, prioritizing across multiple engagements.

• Friendly, obsessively customer-focused, and service-oriented, with strong problem-solving instincts.

• Strong communication, analytical, and collaboration skills; comfortable working independently while knowing when to seek guidance.

• A startup mindset, comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-changing environment, with a clear sense of why that environment is the right fit for you.
