Semperis is seeking a Senior Sales Compensation Analyst to own the commission and incentive calculation cycle for the organization. You will be responsible for running monthly commission and incentive calculations in Xactly Incent, validating source data, investigating and resolving discrepancies across assignments, splits, credits, quotas, rates, currencies, and adjustments, and delivering approved payment files to Payroll within the monthly close window. Key responsibilities include: • Execute the recurring commission and incentive calculation cycle from source data validation through approved payment file delivery, ensuring all calculations tie back to source data with Finance confidence. • Investigate and resolve discrepancies in assignments, splits, credits, quotas, rates, currencies, and adjustments; document every true-up and correction before payment release. • Reconcile Xactly Incent against Salesforce, HR, payroll, and Finance systems monthly and quarterly; support close including commission accruals in partnership with the Revenue Analyst. • Build and maintain audit-ready documentation and controls to ensure the commission process is repeatable and transparent to reviewers. • Administer Xactly Incent across all company plans, maintaining current participant data, access, hierarchies, quotas, rates, and plan assignments as the organization evolves. • Lead annual implementation of every compensation plan in Xactly, collaborating with Revenue Operations and the Global Compensation Director through configuration, testing, and approvals. • Own plan letter administration end-to-end, from preparation and issuance through signature tracking. • Transform large datasets into clear reporting on attainment, commissions, and payments; help managers and employees understand their plans and statements, including difficult findings.
