Head of GTM Compensation 

6sense is seeking an analytical, strategic, and highly trusted compensation leader to build, own, and scale our GTM compensation strategy across all customer-facing teams. As we continue to scale, we need someone who thrives in complexity, leads with clarity, and builds systems that drive performance, predictability, and fairness across Sales, SDR/BDR, Solution Consulting, Customer Success, and Professional Services. 

This individual has a proven track record leading incentive compensation for SaaS GTM organizations and brings a sharp blend of operational rigor, financial acumen, policy governance, and cross-functional influence. You will own end-to-end GTM compensation—including plan design, modeling, governance, systems, reporting, and payouts—and serve as the connective tissue between GTM leadership, Finance, RevOps, and HR. 

As the Head of GTM Compensation, you will build scalable frameworks, establish policy, and lead all aspects of variable compensation that impact pipeline generation, bookings, expansion, retention, and service delivery. You will advise senior leadership, ensure structural alignment to corporate goals, manage the operational machinery of commissions, and deliver clear insights that help teams understand performance drivers and trends. 

 Key Responsibilities 

• Own the end-to-end GTM compensation strategy for Sales, CS, BDR, SC, and PS—aligning plans to corporate goals, growth targets, and performance expectations.
• Lead annual and mid-year compensation design cycles, including modeling, benchmarking, quota mechanics, accelerators, SPIFs, policy updates, and governance frameworks.
• Develop, publish, and maintain clear, prescriptive compensation policies that drive consistency, fairness, and operational efficiency across all GTM teams.

• Implement and administer the GTM compensation technology ecosystem, ensuring integration, accuracy, and scalability across systems (e.g., Salesforce, comp tools).
• Establish and run monthly and quarterly GTM compensation reviews with Sales, CS, RevOps, and Finance leaders—providing insights on plan performance, attainment trends, productivity, and ROI.
• Serve as a trusted advisor for payees and leaders by managing inquiries, escalations, and field-facing communication around plans, policies, and calculations.
• Drive continuous improvement of compensation workflows, reducing manual work and increasing accuracy, speed, and transparency.
• Partner with RevOps, HR, and GTM leadership to develop compensation governance, role alignment, territory design impact, and performance metrics.
• Lead key strategic initiatives across Revenue Operations, including quota deployment, role/segment changes, SPIF strategy, incentive experiments, and compensation-driven productivity programs.
