Job Description

As the Senior Manager, Rewards and Incentive Design , you will join a global Incentive Design team turning business strategy into simple, fair, and scalable incentive plans to drive performance and the right behaviors across Sales and selected non-Sales populations. In this role, you will design, improve, and govern Sales Incentives, the Annual Incentive, and (where applicable) elements of Long-Term Incentives in close partnership with Sales and Business leadership, so people are rewarded for what they truly influence.

Your role:

• Serve as a trusted Rewards partner for the sales population by conducting market benchmarking and pricing, supporting annual salary increases and promotions, and advising on off-cycle requests.

• Ensure all designs align with the global framework and business strategy to drive measurable growth and performance. Facilitate structured co-design workshops, manage signoffs, and control changes across Sales, Business, Finance, HR, and Operations to build scalable, enterprise-wide solutions. Conduct post-cycle analytics and translate insights into next-cycle updates to ensure continuous improvement and measurable outcomes.

You're the right fit if:

• You have 5+ years’ Rewards experience, and ideally 8+ years, with a strong focus on incentive design (Sales, Short-Term and Long-Term Incentives).

• Your skills include a quantitative background (ideally from Finance, Economics, Business Analytics or HR/Rewards with strong analytics). Advanced Excel skills, with scenario modelling and insights visualization with PowerPoint.

• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position .

• You're an excellent communicator—persuasive, influential, and proactive in solving problems and coordinating priorities across stakeholders, while managing competing priorities with ease, working both independently and collaboratively to deliver results.

Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations. This is an office role.
