Responsibilities:

• Support the annual compensation planning cycle (merit, bonus, equity), partnering with HR Business Partners and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Perform compensation benchmarking, market pricing, and survey participation to support the development and refresh of salary structures.

• Prepare compensation analyses and models to support compensation decisions, budgeting, and strategic planning.
• Respond to compensation-related inquiries from HR and business leaders with thoughtful analysis and clear communication.
• Develop and maintain compensation tools, templates, and educational materials to promote understanding and transparency.
• Identify opportunities to streamline compensation processes using technology and minimize manual errors.
• Contribute to compensation policy reviews, ensuring alignment with best practices and compliance requirements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in human resources, Organizational Development, Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of direct compensation experience (e.g., market pricing, survey participation, job leveling, and salary structure design)
• Advanced Excel skills required, with the ability to analyze complex data sets and generate actionable insights.
• Client-facing or stakeholder partnership experience preferred.
• Experience using Workday or similar HRIS systems to support compensation processes is a plus.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to present data-driven insights clearly and confidently.
• Self-starter with a growth mindset and a collaborative approach.

Additional Requirement:
