We're looking for a Senior Director, Compensation Partners to lead and elevate our global compensation strategy in a dynamic, high-growth SaaS environment. In this role, you'll be a trusted advisor to senior leadership, shaping compensation philosophies, programs, and frameworks that attract, retain, and motivate top talent while supporting our mission and growth trajectory. You will oversee a team of compensation business partners, ensuring alignment across business units and providing data-driven insights to influence executive decision-making.

What You'll Do :

Client / Stakeholder Management

  • Manage relationships with internal stakeholders (HR, Finance, Legal, and executive leadership)
  • Present recommendations, insights, and analyses in a clear and persuasive manner to non-technical audiences.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to implement and drive compensation programs and ensure alignment with broader HR initiatives.

    • Project Management

  • Oversee complex compensation projects
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and meet quality standards.
  • Coordinate across multiple business units or client teams for seamless execution

    • To be successful in this role, you'll bring a blend of strategic leadership, SaaS expertise, and technical compensation knowledge. We're looking for someone who can think big while executing with precision.

    Required Qualifications :

  • Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry.
  • Extensive Compensation Leadership : 12+ years of progressive experience in compensation, including at least 5 years leading a senior compensation team in a global SaaS or high-tech organization.
  • Deep Technical Expertise : Strong command of base pay structures, market pricing, equity programs, and variable compensation design (including sales incentives).
  • SaaS / Technology Experience : Proven track record supporting fast-scaling, subscription-based business models, including familiarity with ARR-based metrics and growth-stage dynamics.
  • Analytical & Data-Driven : Exceptional ability to interpret complex data, perform advanced market analyses, and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
  • Strategic Business Partner : Skilled at influencing executives and cross-functional leaders with strong storytelling and presentation skills.
  • Governance & Compliance Knowledge : Solid understanding of global compensation compliance, pay equity practices, and regulatory requirements.
  • Team Leadership : Demonstrated success developing and leading high-performing teams in a matrixed, global environment.

    • For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $225,000 - $405,000 plus equity (when applicable), variable / incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs.

    Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.
