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
