About the role

This is a high-trust, high-exposure role supporting the Director of Total Rewards across three core areas: headcount analytics, compensation analytics and program administration, and benefits utilization and program management. You’ll sit close to the work and close to leadership, which means you’ll learn fast.

No prior HR experience is required. What matters is that you’re analytical, organized, eager to grow, and mature enough to handle sensitive employee information with professionalism and discretion.

• Prepare reports for open enrollment planning, vendor reviews, and leadership updates
• Support day-to-day benefits program administration and employee data maintenance
• Track key benefits metrics and assist in evaluating program effectiveness

Across All Areas

• Maintain clean, well-organized data and documentation
• Identify process improvement opportunities and help build more efficient workflows
• Handle all work with a high degree of professionalism given the confidential nature of the data
• Be curious, ask questions, dig into the numbers, and bring insights, not just outputs

• Is energized by data, enjoy working in spreadsheets, finding patterns, and asking “why does this look this way?”
• Has strong Excel skills, comfortable with pivot tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, formulas, and building clean, functional models
• Is detail-oriented and accurate, catch errors before they become problems
• Communicates clearly, can translate what the data says into something a non-analyst can understand
• Is discreet and professional, understand that compensation and benefits data is sensitive and treat it accordingly
• Is eager to learn, ask good questions and take feedback well
• Can manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in business, economics, finance, mathematics, or a related analytical field (or equivalent experience)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, pivot tables, formulas, data organization
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
• High degree of professionalism and personal integrity

Nice to have:
