Senior Manager, Global Compensation

At Xplor, we believe that helping people make the most of each day is the most rewarding way to spend ours.

We give small and medium-sized businesses cloud-based, intuitive technology solutions that enable them to manage all the hassles of running and growing a business, so business owners can get back to doing what they love. With Xplor Pay, we help businesses get paid quickly and securely – without hidden fees. We built the tech ourselves, and our platform delivers secure, transparent, fast, and accurate payments.

We are unified by our purpose of helping people to succeed. So, when you become part of our team, you also become part of the personal connection that strengthens the relationship people have with Xplor products.

We need a senior compensation leader who can design and execute equity, incentive, and global comp programs for a PE-backed, multi-country organization. You'll own everything from cap table management to international pay equity compliance, building scalable compensation infrastructure as we scale post-merger.

What You'll Do 

• Design and manage PE equity programs — RSUs, options, carry plans — from grant to liquidity event 

• Own the cap table end-to-end: grants, vesting schedules, equity tracking, 409A support, and board reporting 

• Build and maintain commission and bonus plans for sales, field services, and professional services teams across multiple business units 

• Ensure pay equity compliance across UK, Australia, Canada, and other international markets — reporting, audits, and remediation 

• Partner with Finance on comp planning, modeling, and EBITDA impact analysis 

• Lead annual compensation cycle: merit, promotion, market adjustments, and equity refresh planning 

• Run benchmarking and market analysis to keep comp programs competitive and cost-effective 

• Build compensation frameworks that scale as the business grows and integrates acquisitions 

What You Bring 

• 7+ years in compensation, with at least 3 years managing equity programs in PE-backed or venture-backed companies 

• Direct experience running a cap table — you've managed grants, vesting, and equity administration through a full cycle 

• Deep knowledge of international compensation compliance, especially pay equity regulations in UK, Australia, and Canada 

• Proven track record designing and managing commission plans for sales and field service organizations 

• Strong analytical skills — you model comp scenarios, forecast costs, and translate data into executive-ready recommendations 

• Experience with compensation tools like Radford, Carta, or similar platforms 

• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — you don't wait for perfect data to make sound decisions 

Preferred 

• CCP, CEP, or similar compensation certification 

• Experience in vertical SaaS or multi-brand portfolio companies 

• Post-merger integration experience, especially harmonizing comp structures across acquisitions 

Why Xplor 

You'll build compensation infrastructure from the ground up in a high-growth, PE-backed environment where your work directly impacts business outcomes. This role reports to the CPO and gives you visibility across the entire organization — from field teams to the C-suite. If you want ownership, impact, and the chance to shape comp strategy at scale, this is it.
