Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Flex is seeking a contractor to support its Revenue Strategy & Operations team with sales compensation and commissions capitalization. The role will develop an audit-ready capitalization and amortization approach, model proposed compensation plans, and support Revenue leadership with analytics.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Accounting to apply ASC 340-40 to Flex's commission plans
- Build the calculations that show recoverability: link commission dollars to the units and revenue they generated, and work out the capitalizable portion when payouts exceed the related revenue
- Recommend and document amortization periods and methods, such as expected customer life or portfolio approaches
- Build a repeatable monthly or quarterly capitalization and amortization schedule that runs off the existing comp run outputs. Hand it off with documentation that a non-author can run
- Prepare audit-ready support and documentation of methodology
- Point out plan-design changes that would make more of the commission spend clearly capitalizable
- Model proposed plan changes for the 2027 plans: quotas, pay curves, accelerators, caps and SPIFFs
- Estimate plan cost against OTE and SPIFF budgets, and run scenario analysis for leadership
- Draft plan documents and rollout materials alongside Alex
Skills
- 6-8+ years in sales compensation, revenue or technical accounting, or FP&A, with direct exposure to commission plans
- Hands-on experience implementing ASC 606 / 340-40 commission capitalization, not just maintaining someone else's schedule
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling
- Precise, organized and comfortable being audited
- Ability to explain accounting mechanics clearly to non-accountants and comp mechanics to Accounting
- Self-directed
- Can deliver with light oversight on a part-time schedule
- SQL (or AI-assisted querying) and experience with Snowflake, Sigma and Salesforce data
- Background at a comp consultancy (Alexander Group, SBI, Simon-Kucher) or Big 4 audit or advisory
- Experience building comp plans 0 to 1 in a high-growth environment
Benefits
- For candidates outside of New York, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.
- Potential to convert to a full-time role, in which case benefits would be aligned to the level.
