Sales Compensation Manager

SoSafe has the ambition to become the leading human risk management provider in Europe. Our award-winning awareness platform triggers behavioural change by providing effective and engaging training and simulations on cybersecurity and data protection. Cybercrime is predicted to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 - we invite you to be part of the solution!
We are hiring a Commission Manager to take full ownership of variable compensation across our GTM organization (>100 reps in Sales, Customer Success, and adjacent GTM roles). You will run the monthly commission cycle end-to-end, maintain plan logic in our commission tool, partner closely with Sales leadership and RevOps, and act as the trusted single source of truth for everything commissions-related at SoSafe.
This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of Finance and GTM — your work directly impacts how our reps are paid, how Finance reports performance, and how we design plans to drive the right behaviors. You will report into the Director FP&A and work closely with the CFO, CRO, and Sales leadership team.

Candidates can work remotely from Ireland, the UK, Germany, Spain, or Portugal. We also have office hubs in Madrid, Cologne, Berlin, and Munich for those who prefer an office-based or hybrid working arrangement.

What you will own

• Monthly commission cycle — running calculations, validating outputs, preparing payout files, and handing off to payroll for the full GTM org

• Commission accruals and reporting to Finance — monthly accrual postings, variance analysis, and input into management and investor reporting

• RevOps on key decisions such as annual comp plan rollouts, mid-year SPIFs, and dispute resolution

• Rep enablement and inquiries — first line of contact for commission questions, owning dispute resolution, and running plan rollout sessions for new hires

• Reconciliation and analytics — reconciling data across Salesforce, the commission tool, HRIS, and Finance systems, and building dashboards on top (attainment, payout ratios, ramp curves, plan effectiveness) to turn commission data into actionable insights for Sales and Finance leadership

• Governance and documentation — maintaining plan documents, SOPs, and audit trails to support both internal controls and external audit requirements

• Continuous improvement — automating manual steps, improving data quality upstream, and helping us scale the commission function as the company grows
  What we are looking for

What we are looking for

• 3+ years of hands-on commission management experience in a B2B SaaS environment (Sales Comp, RevOps, or Sales Finance background — title is less important than the actual scope of work)

• Strong analytical foundation — advanced Excel / Power BI / Google Sheets skills, comfortable with complex formulas, lookups, and large-scale reconciliation work

• Analytics and reporting — ability to build and maintain performance dashboards, track commission metrics, and generate insights to support Sales and Finance leadership decision-makingCRM literacy — Salesforce reporting, data extraction, and a clear understanding of how opportunity data flows into commission calculations

• Experience with multi-component plans — quotas, accelerators, SPIFs, MBOs, clawbacks, and ramped quotas for new hires

• Clear communicator in English — you will work daily with reps, Sales leadership, and Finance. German is a nice-to-have, not a requirement

• Operator mindset — you take ownership, build trust with stakeholders quickly, and bring rigor without bureaucracy
