Internal Commission Tool for LinkedIn Sales Teams

LinkedIn's sales teams were struggling with a fragmented commission calculation process that pulled data from multiple sources including HR systems and compensation databases. Sales representatives and leadership needed a centralized platform to accurately track performance metrics and manage team compensation plans, but the existing system was cluttered and inefficient.

• De-clutter and simplify the landing page for ease of navigation
• Enable seamless creation and management of new teams and their members
• Assign and manage roles efficiently within the platform
• Ensure data visibility and interaction were intuitive and accurate for sales operations

• Redesigned the landing page with a clear visual hierarchy to present key performance data upfront
• Introduced new functionality to create, edit, and manage teams and team members
• Created streamlined forms to assign roles within teams, with intuitive dropdowns and auto-complete features
• Worked closely with senior leadership to align design with strategic business goals
• Delivered all designs and handoffs in Figma

UX & UI Considerations

Since I was the only designer on the project, I focused on:

• Keeping the interface minimal and clean to reduce cognitive load
• Ensuring consistent use of spacing, typography, and iconography for a cohesive experience
• Prioritizing data legibility and readability (e.g., tables with sticky headers, collapsible filters)
• Including inline feedback for actions (like role assignments and team updates)
• Adopting intuitive flows for user management without deep navigation

Collaboration & Process

• Worked independently, but in close coordination with the product manager and senior stakeholders
• Participated in regular design reviews and incorporated iterative feedback from leadership
• Maintained version control in Figma and documented design rationale for smooth developer handoff

• The redesigned landing experience was praised for its clarity and professionalism
• New team management flows improved operational efficiency and reduced reliance on manual processes
• Leadership commended the design for aligning with internal branding and enhancing user trust
• The project was completed within scope and helped set a foundation for future enhancements
