  • Create step-by-step procedures for recurring comp admin tasks
  • Keep documentation current as plans, territories, and policies change

SPIFF ADMINISTRATION

  • Set up, configure, and maintain SPIFF programs in the compensation system
  • Track eligibility, calculate payouts, and validate results against program rules
  • Answer SPIFF questions from sales reps and managers
  • Audit program data for accuracy before payouts are finalized

GENERAL SALES COMP SUPPORT

  • Support quota, territory, and roster updates in the comp system

  • Experience working in a sales compensation system (for example Xactly, Varicent, CaptivateIQ, Performio, SAP Commissions, or similar)
  • Experience drafting or editing participation agreements or comp plan documents
  • Familiarity with CRM data (Salesforce) and how it feeds comp calculations
