This role offers broad exposure to compensation projects, including pay harmonization, job architecture, and process improvements in Workday. You'll manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while building your technical and analytical expertise. We're looking for someone early in their compensation or analytics career who is eager to learn, detail-oriented, and ready to grow. A strong foundation, analytical mindset, and willingness to learn are more important than having experience in every area. This position will be based at our Head Office in Markham, Ontario.

• Conduct market pricing and competitive analysis, and support salary survey participation, to keep our programs current and equitable
• Build and maintain internal pay distributions and rate grids that support clear, well-reasoned recommendations
• Review internal equity and pay data, flagging gaps, anomalies, and areas that need a closer look
• Support the annual compensation cycle — merit, bonus, and incentive programs — through data preparation, modelling, and administration
• Help design and maintain job grades, pay ranges, and job evaluations across unionized and non-unionized groups
• Produce clear reporting, dashboards, and summaries tailored to different audiences
• Play a hands-on role in a multi-year pipeline of integration and transformation projects, with a steady stream of deliverables
• Assist with harmonizing pay across acquired businesses, including plan and rate mapping, costing, and gap analysis
• Prepare data and analysis to support compensation due diligence and workforce transition work
• Use Workday and other tools to administer compensation processes and streamline reporting and analytics
• Assist with cost models and scenario analyses used in union negotiations and planning
• Partner with HR, Finance, Talent Acquisition, and business leaders to deliver responsive, service-oriented support

What We’re Looking For

• 1-3 years of experience in compensation, total rewards, HR analytics, or a related analytical role
• Strong Excel skills and a genuine comfort working with data and numbers
• Familiarity with compensation fundamentals such as market pricing, job evaluation, and pay structures — a foundation to build on
• Well organized, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deliverables in a fast-paced setting
• Exposure to Workday, unionized environments, or multi-jurisdictional payroll are an asset
• Interest in pursuing the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional) designation over time an asset
• A collaborative, detail-oriented approach and clear communication style
