Job Description

We need a senior compensation leader who can design and execute equity, incentive, and global comp programs for a PE-backed, multi-country organization. You'll own everything from cap table management to international pay equity compliance, building scalable compensation infrastructure as we scale post-merger.

What You'll Do

• Design and manage PE equity programs - RSUs, options, carry plans - from grant to liquidity event

• Own the cap table end-to-end: grants, vesting schedules, equity tracking, 409A support, and board reporting

• Build and maintain commission and bonus plans for sales, field services, and professional services teams across multiple business units

• Ensure pay equity compliance across UK, Australia, Canada, and other international markets - reporting, audits, and remediation

• Partner with Finance on comp planning, modeling, and EBITDA impact analysis

• Lead annual compensation cycle: merit, promotion, market adjustments, and equity refresh planning

• Run benchmarking and market analysis to keep comp programs competitive and cost-effective

• Build compensation frameworks that scale as the business grows and integrates acquisitions

Qualifications

What You Bring

• 7+ years in compensation, with at least 3 years managing equity programs in PE-backed or venture-backed companies

• Direct experience running a cap table - you've managed grants, vesting, and equity administration through a full cycle

• Deep knowledge of international compensation compliance, especially pay equity regulations in UK, Australia, and Canada

• Proven track record designing and managing commission plans for sales and field service organizations

• Strong analytical skills - you model comp scenarios, forecast costs, and translate data into executive-ready recommendations

• Experience with compensation tools like Radford, Carta, or similar platforms

• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments - you don't wait for perfect data to make sound decisions

Preferred

• CCP, CEP, or similar compensation certification

• Experience in vertical SaaS or multi-brand portfolio companies

• Post-merger integration experience, especially harmonizing comp structures across acquisitions

You'll build compensation infrastructure from the ground up in a high-growth, PE-backed environment where your work directly impacts business outcomes. This role reports to the CPO and gives you visibility across the entire organization - from field teams to the C-suite. If you want ownership, impact, and the chance to shape comp strategy at scale, this is it.
