Hi J***e, Great question. For this Director of Sales & Operations role, the target package is: • Base salary in the $140K,$180K range (depending on experience) • Annual performance bonus opportunity of up to 25% of base • Long-term incentive plan (equity or deferred compensation) On the work model, C***t operates a hybrid setup,typically 2,3 days in the office for team meetings and cross-functional collaboration, with the remainder remote. There’s definitely room to tailor the exact rhythm to your preferences and location. Does that align with your expectations? If so, I can lock in our 20-minute call on Thursday, 4/4 at 3:00 PM ET, or let me know another time that works for you. Looking forward to it! , J***e

Hi J***e, Great question. Here’s a high-level overview of our long-term incentive structure versus deferred comp: 1. Equity-Based LTIP • You’d receive restricted stock units (RSUs) that vest over a four-year schedule (25% per year), aligned with company performance targets (revenue growth and EBITDA). • Delivered annually, these RSUs give you true ownership upside as C***t’s value increases. 2. Deferred Compensation Plan • You can elect to defer up to 50% of your annual cash bonus into a tax-advantaged account. • Deferred funds accrue a fixed interest rate (or can be converted into phantom share units tied to our stock performance). • Payout occurs at a pre-selected date (or upon separation), providing a predictable future income stream. We’ll walk through the finer details,plan documents, vesting mechanics, and potential payout scenarios,during our chat on Thursday, 4/4 at 3:00 PM ET. I’ve just sent a calendar invite with a Z***m link; let me know if you need anything else beforehand. Looking forward to our conversation! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain
