You'd own competitive benchmarking and market analysis, manage multiple concurrent annual compensation cycles from design through execution, and build the dashboards and data models that inform executive decision-making. The position also involves configuring HRMS systems—particularly Workday—to support compensation workflows and translating strategy into scalable system design.
This is a role for someone with at least six years of compensation or HR analytics experience who combines technical rigor with stakeholder management skills.

Comfort with ambiguity and a proactive approach are essential in a fast-paced environment where multiple projects run concurrently.
The salary range is $141,000 to $219,000, with performance-based incentives, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, four-plus weeks of paid time off annually, and support for family care, emotional wellness, and community involvement.
