In-person collaboration is essential to Notion's culture. We require all team members to work from our offices on Mondays and Thursdays, our designated Anchor Days. Certain teams or positions may require additional in-office workdays.

At Notion, we're crafting tools that transform how people work together, no matter where they are in the world. As our Compensation Partner, you'll help us build and design compensation programs—managing everything from executive compensation to IPO readiness while ensuring market competitiveness and internal equity. This is your chance to design and own a strategic program that directly shapes how we attract, retain, and reward talent across Notion as we continue to scale globally. You'll craft thoughtful policies while staying hands-on with execution, harness AI and automation to simplify complex processes, and collaborate with teams across Notion to navigate immigration requirements and mobility challenges. If you're energized by fast-moving environments, love building elegant systems from scratch, and want to make meaningful impact at a company reshaping how the world works, we'd love to connect.
