About the Role

Senior Compensation Manager to join our Total Rewards team as a key operational partner. Working in close collaboration with our existing Senior Compensation Partner, you will support business leaders across GTM while contributing to the evolution and day-to-day administration of our broader compensation programs

This is an individual contributor role that operates at the intersection of data, operations, and people. You will own competitive market analysis, salary structures, and compensation review cycles while helping us scale our GTM comp programs thoughtfully. You bring a strong analytical foundation and the communication skills to translate complex comp decisions into clear, trusted guidance for business leaders and people partners alike.

We are an AI-first company, and this role is no exception. We expect you to actively leverage AI tools to work faster and smarter, and to think at a systems level about how compensation as a function can be made more efficient and more defensible. The ideal candidate brings intellectual curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and a first-principles mindset: someone who is always asking how compensation should work at its best, and building toward that vision.
