We invest in tools and workflows that reduce friction—not increase volume—and create real career paths for professionals who want to grow their careers or move into leadership. At AvonRisk, you’re part of a team that values good judgment, curiosity, and accountability, and gives you the support to succeed.

This position is fully remote with an expected 4-6 month contact. The position will report to the Chief People Officer (CPO).

• Advise recruiting and hiring managers on compensation for new hires, internal mobility, and competitive offers.
• Build and maintain advanced Excel models, dashboards, and analyses to support compensation decisions, budgeting, and workforce planning.
• Support annual compensation cycles (merit, market adjustments) through detailed modeling, scenario analysis, and execution.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, and organizational changes through compensation analysis, job mapping, integration planning, and cost modeling.
• Conduct pay equity analyses and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local pay laws, including FLSA and pay transparency requirements.
• Create clear documentation, reporting, and presentations that communicate compensation findings and recommendations to leadership.
• Maintain job and compensation data in HRIS and related systems to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of experience in a similar compensation consulting or compensation analyst role.
• Demonstrated experience conducting nationwide compensation analyses across multiple geographic markets.
• Demonstrated experience building or redesigning job architecture, including job families, leveling, and pay structures.
• Working knowledge of compensation survey sources and market pricing methodologies.
• Advanced to expert-level Excel skills, including complex modeling, scenario analysis, and data visualization.
• Strong analytical and financial acumen with the ability to balance data-driven decisions and human impact.
• Demonstrated ability to serve as an empathetic, trusted advisor with strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to operate as a hands-on, execution-focused contributor in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects independently while remote.
