Responsibilities

Decagon has grown from 200 to 700 across seven countries and is looking to hire our first Compensation leader. The foundational pieces are in place: leveling framework, pay bands, equity programs, and benefits across every market we operate in. What we need now is the person who turns a working v1 into a full function. You’ll scale our compensation and equity infrastructure to keep pace with hyper growth, bring the analytical rigor and governance that a late-stage company requires, and stand up the compensation committee we expect to need within the next year. Most importantly, you’ll define Decagon’s compensation philosophy alongside our founders and Head of People and shape how we pay, reward, and retain talent for years to come.
This is a senior, high-visibility role. You’ll partner directly with People leadership, Finance and the founders, and you’ll have the latitude to design total rewards for the entire company. If you’ve built or scaled rewards at a company moving this fast, and you want to own the whole system rather than inherit someone else’s, this is the role.
You May Be a Good Fit If You:
Have 8+ years of experience in compensation, benefits, or total rewards at a high-growth tech or SaaS company - leadership experience is a plus
Have built or significantly rebuilt compensation structures, job architecture, and leveling frameworks — ideally in a fast-moving, pre-IPO environment
Have deep expertise in equity compensation (option plans, RSUs, refresh cycles) and experience supporting equity education and communications for employees
Understand how to design and administer competitive benefits programs, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and ancillary programs, while managing vendor relationships and renewals
Are data-driven — you use market data (Pave, Levels.fyi, etc.) to anchor decisions and can build clean, defensible comp models
Have experience partnering with Finance on headcount planning, comp accruals, and total compensation cost modeling
Are a strong communicator who can distill complex comp concepts for employees, managers, and executives alike
Thrive in ambiguity and can move quickly without sacrificing rigor
