Pointer Strategy

Salary Intelligence

Go-to-Market Compensation Benchmarks

What sales, marketing, customer success, RevOps, and partnerships roles actually pay across Australia and New Zealand — from hiring guides, live job data, and community submissions.

How We Build These Benchmarks

Pointer benchmarks are independently calculated and presented as an aggregate of aggregates. Directional ranges are informed by 15+ publicly published ANZ salary guides covering FY25/26, which collectively surveyed hundreds of thousands of GTM professionals. We cross-reference those directional signals against salary disclosures from 56.6k+ job listings collected from LinkedIn, Seek, and company career pages since late 2025, plus anonymous submissions from the Pointer community. Listing data is refreshed daily, so these benchmarks reflect current market conditions.

Published guides used as directional benchmarks only; Pointer figures are independently calculated and not endorsed by any listed source. Guides referenced include those from Hays, Robert Walters, LHH, Paxus, Aquent, Gybe Consulting, JDP, and Adecco. Read the full methodology at /methodology.

How we know

Every number on this page is a blend of four independent sources. No single source is load-bearing; the blend is what makes the benchmark credible.

15+ published salary guides

FY25/26 ANZ compensation guides from major agencies — each surveys hundreds to thousands of go-to-market professionals. Baseline anchor.

Live job listings

Scraped daily from LinkedIn, Seek, and company career pages since late 2025. Current market conditions, not stale survey averages.

Community submissions

Anonymous salary submissions from sales, marketing, CS, RevOps, and partnerships professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

Pointer placement records

Closed searches executed by Pointer Strategy — what candidates actually accepted and what employers actually paid. Aggregated, anonymised.

Guardrails

  • Aggregates render only at N ≥ 10 per cohort (function × seniority × city × employment type). Below threshold, we say so explicitly and invite contributions.
  • Individual numbers are never exposed — not in public views, not in the personalised review, not in API responses.
  • Employer-level aggregates require ≥ 10 placements per employer per role before an employer can be publicly named alongside a pay band.
  • Refresh cadence: job listings refresh daily, aggregates recompute overnight, the monthly Compensation Index publishes on the 5th of each month.
