Manager, Compensation

GoFundMe is the world’s most powerful community for good, dedicated to helping people help each other. By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

GoFundMe is embarking on one of the most significant investments in its people strategy: the launch of the GFM Way of Compensation. This multi-phase initiative will redefine our job architecture, compensation philosophy, market positioning, and pay structures—creating a modern, transparent, and scalable compensation framework that supports our mission and our continued growth.

As our Compensation Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life. You'll partner closely with leadership to translate strategy into execution—building the job architecture, developing salary structures, conducting market analyses, modeling compensation programs, and helping implement a compensation framework that employees, leaders, candidates, and the Board can trust.

At the same time, you'll own the day-to-day compensation operations that keep our business moving. From supporting hiring and promotions to administering compensation systems and advising business partners, you'll ensure our compensation programs remain accurate, equitable, and scalable while we build the future.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who enjoys both designing what's next and delivering operational excellence every day.

We use Metaview as part of our hiring process for jobs in NYC and certain features may qualify it as an automated employment decision tool (AEDT), as defined by New York City Local Law 144. As part of the hiring process, we provide Metaview with job requirements and candidate submitted resumes and application materials to assist in evaluating job-related qualifications. While this tool is used to improve efficiency and support our recruiting personnel, all final hiring decisions are made by GoFundMe employees.

We began using Metaview on March 10, 2026. The Metaview tool has been reviewed by an independent auditor. Results of the audit may be viewed here. The tool evaluates your professional experience, technical skills, education, and other qualifications using information collected directly from your submitted resume and application materials; all such data is retained in accordance with GoFundMe’s Personnel Privacy Notice and applicable legal requirements.
