Responsibilities

Betterment is looking for an Incentive Compensation Manager to run the operational engine behind how we pay our go-to-market teams, reporting into our Revenue Operations team. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the administration, reporting, and continuous improvement of our incentive compensation programs, ensuring our go-to-market teams are paid accurately, on time, and in accordance with plan design.
You’ll own the monthly commission process from data validation through payout, including the operating cadences, reporting, controls, and cross-functional coordination required to support a reliable and auditable process. You'll also partner with Revenue Operations, Sales, Finance, Legal, and HR to design and operationalize compensation plans, model proposed changes, evaluate operational impacts, and translate approved plans into calculation logic and system configuration.
Beyond commission administration, you'll drive continuous process improvement by identifying manual or inefficient workflows, strengthening documentation and controls, and implementing automation to improve scalability, accuracy, and efficiency.
The ideal candidate combines strong operational ownership with a systems mindset. You’re comfortable working with complex data, managing deadline-driven processes, improving existing systems, and following details through from source data to payment.
This role is based out of our NYC office.
