Role Overview
As the Senior Commission Manager, you will serve as a key operational leader driving execution, calculation integrity, and continuous process optimization across Okta’s end-to-end sales compensation lifecycle. Supporting a high-growth field organization, this role bridges hands-on commission administration—validations, payment submissions, dispute resolution, and operational modernization—with advanced reporting, enterprise analytics, and AI-driven process automation.
With a sharp focus on execution, data and incentive design governance, process engineering, and emerging AI tools, you will eliminate manual bottlenecks, build scalable reporting infrastructure, and guarantee 100% payout accuracy within tight deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
Commission Execution & Calculation Integrity
- Oversee the monthly commission calculation and payout lifecycle for global sellers, actively streamlining and operationalizing processes to maintain near-zero error margins.
- Operationalize data reconciliations between upstream source systems (CRM and Workday) and Xactly Incent, optimizing workflows to safeguard data integrity, maintain accurate crediting rules, and ensure calculation accuracy.
Process Engineering, Automation & AI
- Map core commission workflows to eliminate friction, slash monthly close processing times, and eliminate manual data manipulation.
- Identify and deploy automation tools, custom scripts, AI-driven efficiencies to streamline commission validations, accruals, payment submissions, and reporting.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Governance
- Drive alignment across GTM Strategy, Sales Operations, Finance, and IT on process improvement priorities and shared initiatives and/or projects.
- Lead change management for new tools, processes, and operating models — ensuring adoption is fast, smooth, and well-supported.
Reporting & High-Impact Analytics
- Build and maintain scalable operational frameworks, seller performance dashboards, and executive reporting in BI tools (e.g., Tableau).
- Monitor payout-to-revenue ratios, quota attainment distributions, error rates, and operational SLA performance.
Governance & SOX Compliance
- Maintain audit-ready control documentation and management review controls across the end-to-end commission processes.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external audit engagements.
Team Leadership & Escalation Management
- Manage, mentor, and inspire a high-performing global commission operations team.
- Act as the primary escalation point for complex rep inquiry resolutions and payment adjustments.
Desired Experience & Qualifications
- Core Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in sales compensation operations, incentive compensation management (ICM), or revenue operations, with a strong emphasis on execution, analytics, and system optimization.
- Scale & Precision: Proven success running commission processing for mid-to-large enterprise sales organizations (700+ reps) under tight close deadlines.
- Technical Stack Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with enterprise ICM platforms (e.g., Xactly), CRM platforms (Salesforce), SQL, BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), and advanced Excel proficiency.
- Cross-Functional Influence: Demonstrated success collaborating with GTM Strategy, Sales Operations, Accounting, FP&A, and Legal on exception workflows and financial compliance.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
