Director, Global Total Rewards

Role Description

Shape the Future of Total Rewards at Alteryx. At Alteryx, we're evolving how People & Culture creates value for the business. As part of our broader transformation strategy, we're reimagining Total Rewards to better connect the strong foundation established by an experienced team while shaping the future of Total Rewards through strategic leadership, operational excellence, and continuous innovation.

This is more than a traditional Total Rewards leadership role. The successful candidate will help shape a Total Rewards strategy that reflects where Alteryx (and its People & Culture organization) is headed, not where it has been.

• Provide strategic leadership for the Benefits function while ensuring operational excellence and an exceptional employee experience during a period of organizational evolution.

• Ensure benefit programs remain competitive, compliant, and aligned to the needs of a global workforce.
• Lead annual compensation planning, market benchmarking, salary structures, incentive programs, and pay philosophy.
• Partner with the HRBP and broader P&C team to evolve job architecture, market competitiveness, and reward strategies while building on existing technical expertise.
• Support executive compensation and equity activities and governance in partnership with senior leadership as appropriate.
• Build and execute a roadmap to modernize Total Rewards operations through simplifying processes, leveraging technology, and evolving the Benefits operating model to meet changing business needs.
• Partner with the AI & Transformation organization to improve systems, automation, workflows, and data quality.
• Continuously evaluate opportunities to simplify work, improve employee and manager experiences, and increase organizational effectiveness.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing Total Rewards team by creating clarity, fostering collaboration, coaching leaders, and building future capabilities.
• Lead the team through organizational evolution with transparency, trust, and a focus on continuous learning and innovation.
• Develop future leaders through coaching, feedback, succession planning, and meaningful growth opportunities.
