You will work closely with the Compensation & Rewards team on live programs such as appraisal cycles, promotions, retention cases, and compensation letter generation across our India, US, and UAE entities.

This is a learning‑first role with real ownership. You will leave with practical experience in how a high‑growth, multi‑country company designs, administers, and audits pay.

Key Responsibilities

Compensation operations

• Support the annual and mid‑year appraisal cycles: prepare and validate merit and bonus data, and track approvals.
• Assist with promotion, retention, and off‑cycle compensation cases: gather inputs, build comparisons, and keep clean documentation.
• Prepare and audit compensation and promotion letters, checking figures, templates, and employee data before release.
• Maintain compensation trackers and approval records so every pay decision has a clear audit trail.

Analysis and benchmarking

• Run market benchmarking and pay‑range positioning (P25/P50/P75) using survey and market data.
• Build peer comparisons and internal equity analyses to support compensation decisions.
• Analyse cost‑of‑living and wage data across locations for the US and India.

Benefits and Total Rewards support

• Support rewards and recognition programs and policy documentation.

Data and reporting

• Build and maintain Excel/Google Sheets models, dashboards, and reports for leadership and HRBPs.
• Reconcile data between the HRIS and compensation workbooks, and flag discrepancies.
• Help improve and automate recurring processes (templates, formulas, and workflows) to reduce manual effort and errors.

Stakeholder support

• Respond to HRBP and employee queries on compensation and benefits, with guidance from the manager.
• Handle confidential employee data with discretion and integrity.

Required Qualifications

• Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in HR, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Statistics, or a related field (MBA/PGDM in HR preferred).
• Prior internship or project experience in compensation and benefits, total rewards, or HR operations.
• Strong working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets, including lookup and reference functions (XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH), conditional logic, SUMIFS/COUNTIFS, text and date functions, pivot tables, data validation, and basic charting.
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and confidential data.
• Clear written and verbal communication.

Good to Have

• Familiarity with compensation concepts: CTC structures, pay bands and ranges, compa‑ratio, merit matrices, variable pay, and equity.
• Exposure to HRIS or compensation tools (Workday, Darwinbox, or similar) and market survey data.
• Basic knowledge of Indian statutory benefits (PF, ESI, gratuity, NPS) or US benefits (401(k), health insurance).
• Experience with Google Apps Script, Power Query, or basic SQL.
• Interest in HR analytics and process automation.

What You'll Learn

• End‑to‑end appraisal cycle management in a multi‑country environment
• How compensation committees and approval cases are built and defended
• Pay benchmarking, range design, and internal equity analysis
• Building accurate, auditable, and automated compensation workflows
• Working with senior HR leaders and business stakeholders

Who You Are

• Detail‑oriented and dependable, with a strong sense of ownership
• Curious and eager to learn, and comfortable asking questions
• Analytical, and able to turn data into clear insights
• Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information
• Able to manage multiple deadlines in a fast‑paced environment
