Job description

Compensation is one of the key levers for attracting and retaining great talent, yet most companies are struggling to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That’s why we created Ravio.

We help some of the world’s most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our goal is to bring compensation into the modern age by building the ultimate real-time compensation solution. We’re passionate about ensuring everyone is paid what they deserve, no matter their background or circumstances. We believe that when compensation is done right, everyone wins.

Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. Joining a startup in the early days and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you’re in the right place.

The Role

We are seeking a Compensation Specialist to join our internal Benchmarking Data team. This role is critical in labelling, structuring, and analysing compensation data to ensure Ravio’s benchmarking database retains its integrity as a real-time resource for fast-growing startups and scale-ups.

The ideal candidate will have experience frequently ingesting large amounts of qualitative and quantitative data to draw conclusions. Ideally, they will have experience working in a Compensation & Benefits or People Ops team and be enthusiastic about joining a fast-growing startup that’s changing the way People teams approach salary benchmarking.

The Compensation Specialist will work closely with the Operations, Customer, New Business, and Data teams to assess and label employee data that contributes to Ravio’s benchmarking dataset. This role requires a detail-oriented professional with strong analytical and communication skills who can navigate complex compensation datasets and ensure alignment with company goals.

Responsibilities

1. Provide a key data labelling function for Ravio, carrying out employee levelling and job mapping, ensuring the data is mapped consistently against our proprietary framework.
2. Assist in job evaluation processes and classification of new or existing roles, often involving researching and understanding unfamiliar job functions.
3. Work closely with team mates to validate data mapping choices, and with our Customer Success team, and customers directly to get inputs to help with the work.
4. Provide support to customers across their lifecycle, on changes to their data or on queries around Ravio’s dataset.
5. Monitor and improve existing datasets throughout a customers’ lifecycle with the aim of upholding high data quality and integrity standards.
6. Support the wider Benchmarking team to improve operational processes, and introduce automations.

Requirements

1. Structured thinker who enjoys working with large datasets and has great attention to detail.
2. Demonstrated ability to research unfamiliar topics and synthesise insights to inform decision-making.
3. Strong prioritisation and organisational skills.
4. Strong ability to assess trade-offs and make decisions in ambiguous environments.
5. Team player who thrives in a high-growth environment and embraces change.
6. Familiarity with market salary survey tools, and the Comp & Ben landscape (Desirable).
7. Advanced knowledge of SQL or general technical skills (Desirable).

Benefits include company ownership with equity, 37 days paid time off, up to 6% pension matching, wellness allowance, private healthcare with AXA, travel insurance, income protection insurance, and extensive parental leave policies.
