We are looking for a hands-on, analytical Manager, Incentives & Commercial Reporting to join our growing team in Ebene, Mauritius. Reporting directly to the Head of Revenue Operations, you will be the engine room of our commercial performance, ensuring that our global sales teams are incentivized correctly and our revenue data is pristine.

As our CEO Guillaume Pousaz recently noted, "high performance is a science, not an accident." In this role, you will apply that science. You will lead a dedicated team of analysts, fostering our "Human Operating System" to remove friction and allow your people to turn potential into impact. You will own the operational workflows for commercial compensation, manage complex datasets, and act as a strategic bridge between data and commercial execution.

What you will be doing

• Incentive Strategy & Execution: Oversee the end-to-end calculation, administration, and modeling of global commercial compensation plans. You will ensure payouts are accurate, transparent, and delivered on time.

• Guardian of Data Integrity: Own the commercial reporting cadence. You will move the needle from estimation to data-backed predictability, ensuring leadership has a clear, unvarnished view of business performance. #No Room For Approximation

• Advanced Tech Stack Orchestration: Act as the strategic owner for your data ecosystem. You will leverage Big Query, Looker, and advanced Google Sheets to architect cohesive, automated workflows that serve as a single source of truth.

• Team Leadership & Human OS: Manage, mentor, and develop your team. You will prioritize coaching and compounding your team's learnings, helping your analysts level up and build careers that truly matter.

• Strategic Business Partner: Collaborate closely with the Head of Revenue Operations, Finance, and Commercial Leaders. You will translate raw reporting into actionable insights that drive frontline behavior and revenue lift. #One Team

About you

• Growth-Centric Leader: You bring demonstrable experience in people leadership. You view your team’s success as your own and thrive on building scalable, high-performing operational units.

• Quantitative Foundation: You hold a qualification in Mathematics, Economics, or another highly quantitative degree, bringing rigorous analytical thinking to complex business problems.

• The "Architect" Mindset: You possess strong, practical exposure to Big Query (SQL) and Looker. You don't just pull data; you architect scalable reporting systems.

• Data Storyteller: Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets is non-negotiable. You can look at raw data, handle complex financial modeling, and pinpoint the actionable insight.

• Adaptable & Long-Term Thinker: You thrive in an environment where priorities shift, but you always take the long view. You are comfortable with ambiguity and pivot quickly to maintain momentum. #Pace Matters

• Bonus Points: Prior experience designing, modeling, or managing sales compensation and incentive plans will be considered a significant advantage.
