Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Compensation Business Partner / Lead to guide compensation strategy across Engineering, Product, and Design. You will play a critical role in shaping Whatnot’s technical talent architecture — ensuring our compensation programs reward impact, support talent density, and scale with the business. You’ll partner closely with senior EPD leaders, Finance, and People Leadership to design frameworks that balance competitiveness, equity, and fiscal responsibility. This role requires strategic depth, strong analytical capability, and the ability to influence across a highly technical, rapidly scaling organization.

Job Responsibility

  • Serve as the primary strategic advisor to EPD leadership on compensation philosophy & pay positioning
  • Design and evolve creative compensation programs that retain top technical talent and reinforce a high-performance engineering, product, and design culture
  • Lead evolution of EPD-specific frameworks (IC track, engineering advancement velocity, differentiated compensation levers for top-of-market roles)
  • Own and lead semi-annual compensation cycles for EPD, ensuring alignment with Finance, accuracy, calibration discipline, and a best-in-class leader experience
  • Define and uphold compensation governance across EPD — ranges, leveling consistency, IC/Senior/Staff expectations, offer standards, and equity guidelines
  • Partner with People Analytics to analyze hiring trends, internal mobility outcomes, pay equity gaps, and performance distribution patterns
  • Build financial models and scenario plans to evaluate cost impacts, talent density shifts, and future-state compensation needs
  • Own optimization of compensation systems (including Complete) for EPD-specific workflows, reporting, and accuracy
  • Create and deliver compensation literacy programs for engineering managers, PM leaders, and design leadership — driving consistent, high-quality talent decisions

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in compensation at scaling tech companies, with strong exposure to technical organizations
  • Deep understanding of engineering/job architecture, advancement frameworks, and equity compensation mechanics
  • Strong analytical and modeling capability to support scenario design and long-range planning
  • Exceptional ability to influence and communicate with technical and product leaders
  • Proven success shaping compensation strategy, not just executing cycles
  • Operate with a balance of strategic mindset and hands-on precision
  • Must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, or Los Angeles hubs

What we offer

  • Flexible Time off Policy and Company-wide Holidays (including a spring and winter break)
  • Health Insurance options including Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Work From Home Support
  • Home office setup allowance
  • Monthly allowance for cell phone and internet
  • Care benefits
