• Analyze market data, internal pay structures, and compensation trends to ensure internal equity and external competitiveness.
• Prepare compensation models, dashboards, and visualizations to support business leaders and HR partners in making informed, data-driven decisions.
• Actively identify trends, risks, and opportunities in compensation data and proactively recommend actions or improvements to Compensation Partners.
• Participate in annual compensation cycles (merit, bonus, and salary planning) ensuring flawless execution, data integrity, and process optimization.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of compensation processes by leveraging technology, best practices, and innovation to enhance efficiency and insight.
• Collaborate with global Total Rewards colleagues to ensure alignment with enterprise-wide compensation philosophy, frameworks, and governance.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 3–5+ years of compensation or rewards analytics experience within a global enterprise environment.
• Technical Expertise: Strong proficiency in Workday (Advanced Compensation preferred), Excel, and analytical tools; familiarity with AI/ML-driven analytics and data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) strongly preferred.
• Productivity & Precision: Demonstrated ability to manage large data volumes with speed, accuracy, and attention to detail — maintaining high-quality output under tight timelines.
• Analytical Strength: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable working with complex datasets and translating findings into actionable insights.
• Proactive Thinking: Ability to anticipate needs, identify emerging patterns, and bring forward recommendations that improve compensation outcomes.
• Learning Mindset: Insatiable curiosity, adaptability, and energy to grow in a fast-paced, global environment.
• Collaboration & Communication: Strong partnership mindset with excellent written and verbal English skills; able to translate complex analytics into clear, actionable messages.
