Senior Compensation Analyst

Job#: 2086973

Job Description:

We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Compensation Analyst who brings deep expertise in compensation strategy and execution, along with a strong foundation in People Operations. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role-ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and can operate independently with minimal oversight.

You'll be instrumental in supporting compensation cycles, job architecture, and HRIS processes during a critical bandwidth crunch. While compensation is the core focus, your ability to flex into People Ops will be a valuable asset.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and execute compensation-related activities including:
  • Job architecture design and title alignment (especially post-M&A)
  • Salary range development and career grid recommendations
  • One-time payments, title/reporting changes, and promotion/merit letters
• Perform audits, reconciliations, and advanced spreadsheet analysis
• Manage HRIS compensation module tasks and bulk data loads
• Generate documentation and letters for end-of-year compensation cycles
• Collaborate closely with compensation and data partners, as well as cross-functional stakeholders
• Operate as a "boots-on-the-ground" contributor-this is not a consulting role

Required Qualifications

• 5-8 years of hands-on compensation experience in dynamic environments
• Proven ability to work independently and deliver without handholding
• Advanced proficiency in:
  • Excel/Google Sheets: PivotTables, VLOOKUPs, complex formulas, audits, reconciliations
  • HRIS Systems (e.g., Workday): Compensation module, bulk data loads, business process support
• Experience with M&A integration, especially around titling and job alignment
• Strong understanding of job architecture, career frameworks, and compensation strategy
