What are the responsibilities and job description for the Compensation and Token Programs Manager position at World?
About The Company
World is building a real human network designed to accelerate people in the age of AI. As bots and autonomous agents reshape the internet, people, institutions, and applications need a trusted way to confirm who is a real human while preserving privacy. Our products make this possible: the Orb verifies real people, World ID proves it privately, and World App enables and distributes the new applications made possible by this technology. Together, they form a new layer for AI internet.
We’re one of the fastest-growing networks in tech. More than 17 million people across 160 countries have verified with World ID, and we complete over 350,000 verifications each week. World App is already among the most used wallets globally. Developers are integrating World ID to build safer online experiences and create spaces where real people can participate, earn, and be recognized in ways AI simply can’t replicate.
World was founded in 2019 and launched globally in 2023. We are more than 400 people across hardware, software, AI, cryptography, mobile engineering, and global operations. Our teams come from OpenAI, Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google, Stripe, Meta, Coinbase, Palantir and MIT Media Lab. We’re backed by leading investors, including a16z, Khosla Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Blockchain Capital, Variant, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, as well as prominent operators and founders across fintech and AI.
World has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, highlighted in Fast Company’s Next 5 in Fintech, and explored in a Bloomberg deep dive. The New York Times, Bankless and TechCrunch have all recognized our progress in identity, cryptography, AI, and global-scale hardware deployment. Our leadership is also named to the Time AI 100.

About The Team
The People team is the engine behind World’s most important asset: its people. We build, support, and scale a global organization of exceptional talent. We design experiences that attract world-class builders and retain, recognize, reward, and enable them to do the best work of their lives.
About The Role
We’re looking for a compensation-minded operator with strong data fluency and a builder’s instinct for scale. You’ll own the end-to-end token grants process - designing the infrastructure, controls, and automations that keep awards accurate, auditable, and fast as volume grows.
This role is similar to an equity administrator in the “award lifecycle” sense, but it’s more compensation-program-oriented than equity accounting: you’ll focus on program execution, stakeholder enablement, forecasting, and data integrity - building systems that make token compensation simple and reliable for employees and leaders.
In This Role, You Will
The reasonably estimated salary for this role at TFH ranges from $166,000 - $195,000, plus a competitive long term incentive package. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, TFH offers a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, vision, 401(k) plan and match, life insurance, flexible time off, commuter benefits, professional development stipend and much more!

- Own token award programs and processes end-to-end: candidate/employee education, grant creation, acceptance, tracking, vesting/release events, and employee-facing updates

- Ability to build and maintain reliable data models and reporting in SQL and/or Sheets, with rigor around data quality, reconciliation logic, and repeatable reporting
