Global Compensation Consultant (Contract)

Roblox is seeking an experienced and strategic India Global Compensation Consultant to fill a unique hybrid role for a 6 months contract. You will serve as the dedicated Compensation Business Partner for our India office, while also owning and leading our global compensation programs and operations.

This is not a traditional role—you'll be the expert on the ground in India, providing strategic guidance and local market expertise. At the same time, you'll be the driving force behind our company-wide compensation cycles, ensuring our programs are meaningful, fair, and aligned with our global business priorities. Reporting to the Director of Compensation Programs, Operations and Systems, you will play a critical part in delivering an exceptional portfolio of compensation programs that inspire our global workforce.

Shift timing:  This role follows a split schedule — 11:00 AM–5:00 PM IST in-office, followed by 8:30 PM–11:00 PM IST from home, to allow overlap with our US stakeholders. 

You will:

• Act as the primary compensation partner for our India office, advising People Business Partners, business leaders, and recruiting teams on all compensation-related matters.
• Develop and implement innovative compensation strategies to attract and retain top talent in India. You will ensure these strategies reflect local market conditions, internal equity, and our pay-for-performance philosophy.
• Provide expert guidance on compensation activities, including new hire offers, promotions, transfers, performance calibration, and compensation adjustments.
• Conduct benchmarking of jobs and create competitive market ranges for our India office to ensure our compensation packages remain highly competitive.
• Own Roblox’s bi-annual compensation cycles, from planning to execution.
• Manage the operations of all compensation programs, including policies and processes, to enhance efficiency and scale.
• Build detailed compensation models and conduct in-depth analysis to inform, influence, and support key business decisions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for automation and process improvements that will optimize performance and support future growth.
• Continuously monitor and analyze current compensation programs to identify areas for improvement and align them with our strategic priorities.

You have:

• A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with at least 10 years of corporate and/or consulting compensation experience.
• Deep expertise in various compensation models, structures, and vehicles, with strong knowledge of industry trends.
• Familiarity with multiple benchmarking surveys and data analysis approaches.
• Proven ability to communicate complex topics to senior executives and stakeholders, influencing decisions and solving highly complex problems.
• A track record of independently managing projects across multiple functions and client groups.
• Exceptional planning, project management, and organizational skills.
• Experience with Workday, SQL, Python, Tableau, or other BI tools is a plus.
