• - Value health benefits, retirement contributions, deferred compensation, leave, and premium pay
• - Integrate benefits findings with salary market data and internal equity reviews
• - Develop clear cost models and implementation scenarios
• - Review survey methodologies for defensibility
• - Prepare executive summaries, staff reports, and board materials
• - Contribute total-rewards technical content to AlphaGov proposals

Requirements

• - Required:
• - - 5+ years total compensation, benefits analysis, or compensation consulting for public-sector employers
• - - Experience valuing employer-provided benefits as part of total compensation
• - - Strong quantitative, analytical, and report-writing skills
• - - Experience preparing materials for executive or board review
