Who you are
- Experience: 4+ years in Compensation or Total Rewards, ideally in a scaling SaaS environment. You have operated at a senior individual contributor level and are comfortable working autonomously and cross-functionally, engaging with leadership regularly
- Systems Expert: Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (complex modeling is your happy place). Experience with GetWalter (Equity) and BambooHR is a significant asset
- Analytical Mindset: You don't just report data; you find the "why" behind the numbers. You understand how compensation influences ARR/FTE
- Communication: You can translate complex financial models into clear, "human" explanations for employees and executives alike
What the job involves
- FISPAN is looking for a data-obsessed, strategically-minded Senior Compensation Analyst to join our People team
- As we scale in 2026, our focus is on precision - ensuring our investment in talent directly drives our business goals
- You will be continuing the work that has been done around our total rewards infrastructure, bridging the gap between high-level workforce planning and tactical hiring execution
- You are responsible for maintaining accurate, compliant, and budget-aligned employee compensation data
- You will play a pivotal role in our mission to optimize our employees by ensuring our compensation programs drive a high-performance, high-growth culture
- 1. Strategic Compensation & Workforce Planning: You will lead workforce planning initiatives, ensuring our headcount growth is sustainable and aligned with revenue targets. Partner with leadership to refine our Performance Zones and ensure salary adjustments are data-driven, transparent, and market aligned.You will also be responsible for FISPAN’s pay equity & fairness audits, pay transparency reporting, and overall pay equity compliance
- You will be responsible for FISPAN’s performance and merit cycles, ensuring that pay equity is observed throughout the organization
- 2. Salary & Sales Incentive Plan Modeling: Conduct deep-dive market benchmarking to maintain our competitive edge in Vancouver tech hubs. In collaboration with the sales teams, support the design, modelling, and management of complex incentive plans, ensuring incentives are aligned with FISPAN’s ARR goals and supporting the GTM team visions
- 3. Equity Management: Take full ownership of FISPAN’s equity platform (GetWalter). You will manage the cap table, oversee grant issuance, and act as the primary point of contact for employee inquiries regarding their equity holdings
- 4. Payroll & Compliance: Ensure seamless integration between our salary analysis, sales incentive plan payouts, and payroll execution. Act as the "Source of Truth" for all compensation data, ensuring 100% accuracy across BambooHR, GetWalter, and our financial reporting tools
- 5. Communication & Training: Design and deliver clear, effective compensation communications and training for managers and employees, ensuring a strong understanding of FISPAN’s compensation philosophy and confidence in the fairness and integrity of our processes
- 6. Job Spec Architecture & Career Development Planning
- Own and maintain FISPAN’s job spec architecture and levelling frameworks to ensure roles, career paths, and compensation structures remain clear, equitable, and scalable. Ensure alignment between role scope, impact, and rewards, and apply progression standards consistently across the organization. Partner with People, Finance, and leadership to support defensible career development decisions
- 7. AI forward focus
- Serve as the lead for integrating AI and automation tools into the Total Rewards function. You will move the compensation department away from manual spreadsheet management toward an AI focused approach, creating agents that will replace much of the manual work associated with this role
Our take
Small/medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have come under heightened operational pressure over recent years. It’s no help that this group has historically been radically underserved by legacy banks, but now the tide is turning: many banking institutions are doubling down on improving the quality and efficiency of their commercial banking solutions, and software company FISPAN is helping them get there.
FISPAN helps companies embed their commercial banking services into the existing ERP or accounting software used by their customers to run businesses. It’s a great way for banks to outsource the level of innovation required to keep up with commercial client demand - and, therefore, a great way of competing with the more agile neobanks, who are siphoning off legacy banking clients in substantial numbers.
FISPAN’s astute positioning has made its platform increasingly attractive for banks under pressure to keep up with the breakneck pace of change in fintech. It’s taking advantage of it too, with plans to expand to the lucrative European and Asian Pacific banking markets, and accelerated product development fuelled by 2025's Series B round of funding.
