  • Maintain clear, well-documented compensation policies and governance frameworks.
  • Support internal audits, regulatory reporting, and executive-level compensation reviews.
  • Champion pay transparency and consistency through thoughtful communication and training.
  • Partner & Influence Across the Business

  • Lead job evaluation processes and maintain accurate, market-aligned job descriptions.
  • Collaborate with HR Business Partners, Talent Acquisition, and Leadership to guide compensation decisions.
  • Translate complex data into compelling stories and actionable recommendations.
  • What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Finance, or a related field (Master’s or CCP certification a plus).
  • 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in compensation design and analysis.
  • Expertise in building salary ranges, job grading structures , and developing compensation policies.
  • Strong grasp of compensation laws, internal equity principles , and market pricing tools.
  • Advanced data analysis and Excel skills , with experience using compensation benchmarking tools and HRIS systems.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and support strategic decision-making.
  • High level of integrity, sound judgment, and discretion when dealing with sensitive compensation matters.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills—with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely.
  • In this role, you'll not only be analyzing numbers—you’ll be shaping how we reward, recognize, and invest in our people. Your work will directly impact business success, employee experience, and long-term talent strategy.
