WHY ACPWB

At ACPWB, you will work alongside people who read proxy statements as a leisure activity, who have opinions about SEC rulemaking, and who can explain the history of executive pay in America over dinner without anyone reaching for their phone. If that sounds like your people, it probably is.

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

For senior roles, the process typically includes a portfolio or work-sample discussion. We ask candidates to walk us through a piece of work they are proud of and explain the decisions behind it. Anonymize client details as appropriate. We are interested in the thinking, not the client names.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• Become the team's internal reference point for at least one specific technical domain or methodology area
• Complete at least one external professional development activity — conference, certification, or course
• Establish a regular cadence with your manager for feedback, development planning, and career discussion
• Successfully guide a junior team member through a full engagement cycle as a peer coach
