A quick snapshot…

As the Senior Manager, Global Compensation at Conga, you will lead the global compensation function, overseeing the strategy, design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of compensation programs across Conga's global workforce.

This is a high-impact people leadership and functional leadership role. You will lead and develop a team of two compensation analysts while setting priorities, establishing operating rhythms, and ensuring the team delivers accurate, scalable, and business-focused compensation solutions.

Sitting at the intersection of compensation strategy, financial rigor, and people impact, you will help shape how Conga approaches pay globally. You will translate market intelligence, business strategy, financial considerations, and workforce needs into competitive, equitable, and scalable compensation programs that enable Conga to attract, motivate, and retain top talent.

This role goes well beyond compensation administration. You will set direction, establish governance, and lead the execution of major global compensation initiatives, while building the capabilities, processes, and infrastructure needed to support Conga's continued growth.

You will serve as a trusted advisor and compensation subject matter expert to senior leaders, partnering closely with Finance, People Partners, HR Operations, HRIS, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, IT, and business leadership. You will bring strong leadership judgment, deep compensation expertise, and the ability to move comfortably between strategy and execution in Conga's fast-paced environment.

Why it's a big deal…

Conga is executing an ambitious company strategy: creating enterprise value by driving double-digit growth with scale. That means unlocking install base value, growing market share through new logos, and achieving recognized product leadership across every category.
