GTM Compensation and Insights Manager

The GTM Compensation and Insights Manager owns the design, administration, and analysis of Temporal's sales compensation programs. Reporting to the Director of GTM Strategy and Analytics, you'll run the monthly commission process end to end, design and manage SPIFs and comp plans across the GTM org, and develop the compensation policies that keep our incentive structures fair, scalable, and aligned to the business. You'll also own the analytics that tell us whether our comp programs are working — from rep-level attainment to windfall risk — and lead the evaluation of commission tooling as we scale.

• Run the end-to-end monthly commission process, calculating payouts and making adjustments for edge cases such as consumption spikes, departing customers, and windfall situations

• Triage disputes and questions from reps and managers, ensuring timely and accurate resolution
• Design, track, and troubleshoot SPIFs across segments, including New Logo, Growth, Consumption, Manager, SA, BDR, and Commit

• Interpret existing terms and conditions and raise edge cases for leadership approval

• Monitor rep-level attainment, flag outliers such as reps hitting 100%+ of quota from a single account, and evaluate whether windfall provisions should be triggered
• Partner with GTM Analytics to ensure compensation data integrity across systems

• 5-7 years of experience in sales compensation, commissions, or comp operations, ideally in a B2B SaaS or consumption-based business
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; SQL or BI tool experience a plus
