Job TitleSales Incentives AnalystLocation(s)Krakow
Job Description
Position SummaryThe Commercial Operations Analyst – SIP Data & Support joins PerkinElmer's GPP team, which administers the Sales Incentive Plans (SIP) for more than 1,300 participants worldwide. The Senior SIP Analyst owns the team's data end to end. This role supports that work and learns it in depth, becoming the trained backup for the SIP data process so that it never depends on a single person.
Based in Europe, you will also be the in-time-zone point of contact for EMEA participant tickets, giving sales teams faster answers during their working day. Data skills are the core of the role. Experience with Salesforce, CPQ, automation, or process improvement is a strong plus and will give you room to contribute more widely across Commercial Operations.

Key Responsibilities

1. SIP Data Support & Backup

- Triage tickets by priority, escalating payout-impacting items ahead of payroll cut-offs and routing data issues to the Senior SIP Analyst where needed
- Provide coverage for the ticket queue during colleague absences and peak periods
- Spot recurring ticket themes and feed them back as fixes, FAQ updates, or process changes
3. Additional Contributions, Based on Experience

- Support Salesforce (SFDC) and CPQ users and Commercial Operations projects where extra capacity is needed
