Senior Compensation & Equity Manager

About Your Role

As the Senior Compensation & Equity Manager, you’ll own compensation and equity programs end to end for a global, distributed workforce, serving as the analytical engine of our Total Rewards function. Reporting to the VP of Total Rewards & People Operations, you’ll partner with Finance, FP&A, Talent Acquisition, and People Business Partners to keep our pay programs market-competitive, internally equitable, and built to scale.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone with deep compensation and equity experience who can add value from day one - owning market pricing, the annual rewards cycle, bonus programs, and equity strategy while giving recruiters and leaders clear, data-backed recommendations. Our Senior Benefits & People Programs Manager serves as your backup on compensation and equity operations.

• Lead the annual band refresh, including cost modeling for level and band changes, and review internal pay relativities, job architecture, leveling, and titling decisions.
• Serve as the first point of contact for comp band, level, and offer recommendations for recruiters and People Business Partners, backed by compa-ratio and internal equity analysis, and advise leaders on promotions, off-cycle adjustments, relocations, and retention packages.
• Price executive and hard-to-benchmark roles with external advisors where proprietary data is needed, and partner with RevOps and Finance on quota-carrying compensation plans.
• Run the annual rewards cycle in Pave end to end, modeling budgets by country and reporting cycle outcomes to People leadership.
• Own the Company Performance Plan and other bonus programs end to end.
• Administer one-time, spot, retention, and milestone bonuses, including approval workflows and award letters, and partner with the VP of Total Rewards & People Operations and Finance on bonus plan design, including for acquired teams and international populations.
• Partner with the VP of Total Rewards & People Operations on equity strategy and model equity budgets and Board proposals.
• Benchmark equity for new hire, promotion, and executive grants, and advise on equity treatment for international moves, new countries, and acquisitions.
• Own the quarterly grant cycles submitted for Board approval, reconcile equity data across Shareworks, HiBob, and Pave, and lead employee equity education.
• Use structured candidate compensation data from Ashby to track where we win and lose on pay and flag when a band needs to be revisited, and support pay equity reviews to keep posted pay ranges current.
• Identify opportunities to automate high-repetition compensation and equity workflows, partnering with the team to embed AI-powered tooling that reduces manual lift without sacrificing accuracy.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of compensation experience, ideally within a SaaS or technology company operating across multiple geographies.
• Deep expertise in market pricing, job matching, and band construction using compensation survey data; Radford experience is strongly preferred.

• Exposure to international compensation (Canada, India, UK) or sales compensation design, a CCP/CEP certification, or hands-on experience with AI-powered tools such as Claude, is a plus.
• Exceptional relationship-building skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities.
