Job Description
Powering the agentic revolution in travel. Sabre is an AI-native technology leader, backed by one of the world’s largest travel data clouds. Built on an open, modular, cloud-native architecture, Sabre serves as the backbone for both established leaders and bold, new disruptors, guiding them to the next age of travel retailing through intelligent, connected, and personalized experiences. With AI at its core and operating at unparalleled scale, Sabre transforms insights into innovation, empowering airlines, hoteliers, agencies and other partners to retail, distribute and fulfill travel worldwide.
Are you a compensation strategist who thrives in the "gray space"? Do you look at complex data and see a story waiting to be told? At Sabre, we aren’t just looking for an administrator; we’re looking for a Principal level architect to own our executive rewards landscape.
This isn't a "follow the manual" type of role. We want a self-starter who views this position as a platform to build, innovate, and essentially write their own roadmap for professional growth. If you are ready to lead a Center of Excellence (COE) and influence the highest levels of a global tech leader, let’s talk.
The Opportunity
As a key pillar of our Global Total Rewards team, you will be the primary driver of executive compensation and equity strategy. You will bridge the gap between high-level financial goals and the engagement of our top leadership. Success here means moving beyond data entry to provide the data-driven insights that shape Sabre’s future.
What You’ll Do (And Own)
Be the Architect: Lead the Total Rewards COE, partnering with HR and Business Leaders to design and implement global standard processes that actually work.
Govern Equity: Oversee the lifecycle of our equity programs from RSUs to complex long-term incentives ensuring we are competitive, compliant, and cutting-edge.
Influence the Board: Prepare high-stakes materials for the Compensation Committee and lead the technical preparation of the annual Proxy Statement.
Strategic Partnership: Act as a consultant to senior executives, Finance, and Legal teams, translating complex tax and regulatory requirements into actionable business strategies.
Drive Innovation: Don't just monitor trends anticipate them. Use market analysis to ensure Sabre remains a destination for top-tier global talent.
Who You Are
A Self-Starter: You don’t wait for a project plan; you create it. You are motivated by the chance to identify gaps and build the solutions yourself.
A Precision Strategist: You have a "measure twice, cut once" mentality, especially when it comes to proxy disclosures and equity administration.
A Storyteller: You can take a spreadsheet of market benchmarks and turn it into a compelling presentation for the C-Suite.
An Ambitious Leader: You are looking for a role that offers the autonomy to define your own path and the visibility to accelerate your career.
Your Background
Experience: 10+ years in HR, with at least 8 years specifically focused on executive compensation and equity administration.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, HR, or a related field.
Technical Savvy: Expert-level proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint is a must; you should be able to model complex scenarios with ease.
The "Extras": Professional certifications like CCP or CEP are highly preferred and will set you apart.
Project Mastery: Proven track record of managing full-scale project life cycles from initial design and documentation to change management and execution.
Why Sabre?
We offer the complexity of a global enterprise with the agility of a team that values fresh ideas. If you’re tired of being a cog in a machine and want to be the one who powers it, this is your next move.
Benefits/Perks:
Competitive compensation
