Location: Boston, Hybrid 3x per week
Reporting to: Senior Manager, GTM Incentive Compensation
About the Team
The GTM Incentive Compensation owns the design, governance, administration, and operational integrity of incentive compensation programs across Klaviyo’s go-to-market organization, partnering closely with Sales, Customer Experience, Partnerships, Finance, HR, and Business Systems.
About the Role
We are looking for a detail-oriented and analytical Senior CS Compensation Analyst to support the administration and continuous improvement of incentive compensation programs for Klaviyo’s Customer Experience organization. This is a mid-level role, ideal for someone who wants to build deep expertise in compensation operations while developing broad exposure to sales operations, finance, and systems work.
You’ll specialize in Customer Experience compensation- owning plan design, crediting data logic, modeling expected commission expense, and inquiry resolution for that population- while also contributing to the incentive compensation process more broadly, including reporting, data integrity, and cross-functional projects that support the full GTM organization. This role requires strong analytical and modeling skills, comfort working in Salesforce and BI tools, and the communication skills to explain compensation outcomes clearly to plan participants and leaders alike.
How You’ll Make a Difference
Customer Experience Compensation Administration
- Administer monthly/quarterly incentive compensation calculations for the Customer Experience organization, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of payouts
- Apply crediting logic and plan rules consistently, flagging exceptions or edge cases for review
- Maintain compensation plan documentation, quota/target records, and payee assignments for the CX population
- Partner with CX leaders to answer plan questions and explain payout calculations
Ticket Resolution & Stakeholder Support
- Serve as a first point of contact for compensation inquiries and disputes submitted via ticketing systems, researching and resolving issues within SLA
- Investigate discrepancies by tracing transactions through Salesforce and underlying data sources
- Escalate complex or policy-level questions to the Senior Manager with clear context and recommendations
Reporting, Analytics & Modeling
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports in Tableau/Looker to track attainment, payouts, and plan performance
- Write SQL queries to pull, validate, and reconcile compensation and transaction data
- Support financial modeling and scenario analysis for plan design changes, budgeting, and accruals
- Identify data quality issues and partner with Systems teams on fixes and process improvements
Cross-Functional Process Support
- Support the broader Incentive Compensation team during planning cycles (plan rollouts, quota loading, documentation)
- Partner with Systems and Finance teams on process improvements, automation, and audit/controls work
- Contribute to team operating cadences and documentation standards that scale across all GTM functions, not just CX
What We’re Looking For
- 3-5 years of experience in compensation, on either sales/revenue operations or finance teams.
- SQL experience required; comfort querying and validating data from multiple sources
- Experience working with Salesforce (or a comparable CRM), and compensation management tools
- Experience with BI/reporting tools such as Tableau or Looker, and ETL tools (Python, Alteryx, etc.) preferred
- Strong modeling skills (advanced Excel/Google Sheets); financial or compensation modeling experience a plus
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain compensation logic clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- High attention to detail and strong organizational skills, with experience managing a queue or ticket volume a plus
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with CX leaders, Systems, Operations and Finance teams
You May Be a Good Fit If You
- Enjoy solving problems that combine data, process, and people
- Take ownership of your queue and follow through until issues are fully resolved
- Are curious about how compensation design connects to business behavior
- Want to grow your career in compensation, revenue operations, or GTM strategy
- Communicate clearly and build trust with stakeholders at all levels

About this role
Klaviyo's GTM Incentive Compensation team is seeking a Senior CX Compensation Analyst to own the design, administration, and continuous improvement of incentive programs for the Customer Experience organization. You'll handle monthly and quarterly compensation calculations, manage crediting logic and plan rules, maintain documentation, and serve as the primary point of contact for CX leaders and participants resolving compensation questions and disputes. This mid-level role offers deep specialization in CX compensation while building exposure to broader sales operations, finance, and systems work across the go-to-market function.
The position demands strong analytical capabilities and technical proficiency: you'll write SQL queries to validate and reconcile data, build dashboards in Tableau or Looker, develop financial models for plan scenarios, and identify data quality issues for cross-functional resolution. You'll need 3–5 years of compensation or revenue operations experience, SQL fluency, hands-on work with Salesforce and BI tools, and advanced Excel skills. Experience with ETL tools like Python or Alteryx is preferred. Beyond the technical toolkit, this role requires clear communication skills to explain compensation outcomes to non-technical stakeholders and the organizational discipline to manage ticket queues and follow issues through to resolution.
This hybrid role (three days per week in Boston) suits someone who enjoys solving problems at the intersection of data, process, and people—someone who takes ownership of their work, is curious about how compensation design influences business behavior, and sees this as a stepping stone into compensation, revenue operations, or GTM strategy. The salary range is $96,000–$144,000, with additional benefits including annual bonus, equity, and comprehensive health and wellness coverage.
