We're looking for a Compensation Manager who excels at turning analysis into actionable compensation strategy, using clear communication and strong partnerships to bring it to life.

The Impact You'll Make :

You'll drive forward our mission of empowering people to unlock financial progress by ensuring our compensation programs remain competitive, equitable, and clearly understood. Your work will be a key driver in our ability to attract, motivate, and retain the incredible talent we need in order to serve our customers.

In your first year, you will take ownership of our core compensation cycles (merit, bonus, and equity), refine our incentive plans, and establish yourself as a trusted advisor to HR partners and business leaders. Success means our teams feel confident in our pay practices, and we have the market data needed to plan for the year ahead.

This role is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact on our company-wide compensation strategy and be a key steward of our compensation philosophy, helping it evolve as we scale in a high-growth, mission-driven environment.

As Compensation Manager you will :

  • Maintain and Evolve Our Structure : Manage our compensation architecture, including job evaluations and salary structures, to ensure internal equity.
  • Keep Us Competitive : Lead the annual refresh of compensation data, analyzing market trends to ensure our pay remains competitive.
  • Run Our Core Programs : Lead the company-wide annual merit, bonus, and equity refresh processes from planning and budgeting to execution and communication.
  • Shape Incentive Plans : Partner in the design, documentation, and administration of our various incentive plans, from monthly production bonuses to annual corporate incentives.
  • Be a Trusted Partner : Work closely with HR Business Partners (HRBPs) and hiring managers to price new jobs and manage compensation for promotions, transfers, and market adjustments.
  • Analyze and Advise : Analyze and recommend the appropriate mix of base pay, incentive, and equity across the organization.
  • Support Executive Planning : Prepare clear, data-driven materials for the Compensation Committee, including peer group analysis and executive compensation data.
  • Educate and Empower : Serve as a key resource for educating managers and employees on our compensation philosophy and practices, translating complex data into simple, actionable insights.

Minimum Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Finance, Business, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of broad-based compensation experience, including job evaluation, market pricing, and salary structure design.
  • Demonstrated experience managing annual compensation cycles (merit, bonus, and / or equity).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an exceptional attention to detail.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets (e.g., v-lookups, pivot tables, complex modeling).
  • Deep experience using compensation survey data and tools.
  • Proficiency with HRIS and compensation management modules.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present complex data clearly to leaders.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Certified Compensation Professional (CCP), PHR, or SHRM-CP certification.
  • Experience preparing materials for a Compensation Committee.
  • Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Key Competencies :

  • Analytical Rigor : You're driven to find the right answer using data and are comfortable prioritizing truth over avoiding a difficult conversation.
  • Accountable Partnership : You take full ownership of compensation cycles and build trusting relationships with HR partners and business leaders.
  • Empathetic Influence : You navigate sensitive conversations with finesse, welcoming different perspectives to educate and align.
  • Continuous Improvement : You actively look for ways to improve our processes, making them more efficient and effective as we scale.
  • Meticulous Accuracy : You have an incredibly high bar for accuracy, knowing that small errors in compensation have a big impact.
  • Compensation :

    Annual full time base salary range : $116,000 - $150,000

    Additional compensation in the form(s) of participation in our annual incentive program and equity are dependent on role. Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health / dental / vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-friendly work environment.
