GTM Compensation Leader
Gong.io · Chicago, IL · Posted 14 days ago
Own sales compensation end-to-end for a SaaS GTM org, from plan design and the ICM/SPM platform to audit-ready ASC 606 controls, while leading and building the comp team.
Overview The GTM Compensation Leader owns the end-to-end strategy, design, and operations of sales compensation across the GTM organization. This role is the connective layer between RevOps, Finance, and Field leadership — translating business strategy into comp plans that drive the right behaviors, scale with the business, and hold up to audit and compliance scrutiny. You will lead a comp team, own the ICM/SPM platform, and be the primary voice on plan design, exception handling, and comp operations.
Core Responsibilities
Comp Plan Design & Strategy
- Own the design of sales compensation plans across segments (Sales, CS/RA, SDR, Partnership, Solution Engineers and otherwhere applicable) — quota, accelerators, SPIFFs, and plan mechanics.
- Translate GTM strategy (new logo, expansion, retention, Healthy ARR) into comp incentives that drive the intended rep behavior.
- Partner with RevOps, GTM Leadership, and Finance to align comp design to business priorities each planning cycle.
Comp Operations & Exception Handling
- Own end-to-end comp operations: crediting, calculations, payout accuracy, and dispute resolution.
- Build scalable exception-handling logic and governance so one-off requests don't erode plan integrity.
- Ensure timely, accurate payout cycles with clear audit trails.
ICM / SPM Platform Ownership :
- Serve as the business owner for the ICM/SPM tool (e.g., Varicent, Everstage) — configuration, roadmap, and vendor relationship.
- Lead or oversee implementation, migration, or optimization of the platform as the comp motion scales.
- Ensure the platform reflects current plan logic with minimal manual workaround.
Compliance & Finance Partnership
