Head of Total Rewards

Join Incode, a fast-growing company in the identity verification, AI, and fintech sectors. As the Head of Total Rewards, you will design and manage our global compensation and benefits strategy, partner with sales leaders to create commission plans, and continuously improve our benefits programs. You will also administer the equity program, build reporting frameworks, and act as a trusted advisor to executives and HRBPs. This is a critical role on the People leadership team, reporting directly to the Chief People Officer.

• Rebuild and own the global compensation and benefits architecture, from strategy to execution.
• Design and manage a competitive global compensation strategy, leading annual compensation cycles end-to-end.
• Build, implement, and continuously improve benefits programs across multiple regions, evaluating vendors and managing renewals.
• You're data-driven without being data-paralyzed. You build models, run analysis, and let numbers guide your decisions — but you can also move fast when speed matters and present a clean narrative to people who don't live in spreadsheets
• You thrive in ambiguity. Startup environments don't come with perfect playbooks. You write the playbook, test it, refine it, and share it — without waiting for someone to tell you it's time
• You're a builder, not a maintainer. You've built comp structures, benefits programs, or equity frameworks from scratch — not just inherited and sustained someone else's work. You know what "zero to one" feels like in People Operations, and you prefer it
• You're a trusted advisor, not a gatekeeper. Leaders and employees come to you because you make comp and benefits understandable, not intimidating. You're direct, practical, and solutions-oriented
• Your ego doesn't get in the way of the work. You're the kind of person who will draft a benefits summary, troubleshoot a vendor invoice, and present to the C-suite in the same week — because whatever it takes to keep programs running well is simply what you do
• You operate at every altitude. You can sit in a board-level comp discussion in the morning and debug a payroll issue in the afternoon. The shift doesn't frustrate you — it energizes you
• Strong analytical skills — comfortable building comp models, pay equity analyses, and executive-level reporting from scratch
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree in HR, Business, or a related field preferred. CCP or CEBS certification a plus
• 8+ years of progressive experience in compensation, benefits, or total rewards — with meaningful time spent in a startup or high-growth environment (Series B, C, or equivalent scale)
• Track record of partnering directly with CPO, CFO, and senior leadership on compensation strategy and board-level reporting
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly redesigning a global comp or benefits program — not just administering one
• Experience supporting global, multicultural teams across multiple regions; LATAM experience and Spanish language proficiency strongly preferred
• Hands-on experience with equity program administration (option grants, RSUs, cap table coordination with Legal and Finance)
• Prior experience at an identity verification, cybersecurity, KYC/AML, or data company
• Consulting background in total rewards or executive compensation
