• Build reusable analytical templates and models to improve team efficiency across equity compensation program design workstreams

• Strong Excel modeling skills including the ability to build audit-ready analytical models independently
• 3+ years of experience in a client-facing advisory role within the media and entertainment sector or broader professional services
• Experience with incentive plan design including performance metric selection and payout modeling
• Experience building or maintaining compensation benchmarking databases

WHY ACPWB

We are a firm that believes compensation data should be used for good — specifically, for the good of the working Americans who rely on it to understand their value and advocate for themselves. That belief animates everything we do, from the research we publish to the way we pay our own team. Our people are our IP, and we compensate them accordingly.

ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

The interview process for this role consists of three conversations: a talent screen, a cross-functional panel, and a hiring manager deep-dive that includes a compensation case exercise. We aim to extend offers within ten business days of the final interview. We have not always achieved this. We are working on it.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• Complete all required compliance and ethics training modules before their respective deadlines
• Complete a self-directed analysis of a relevant market trend and share findings with your practice group
• Contribute to one thought leadership publication, conference presentation, or external speaking opportunity
