Senior Compensation Analyst

We're looking for a Senior Compensation Analyst to join our Compensation team.

You'll play an important role in helping ensure our compensation programs are competitive, equitable, and consistently administered. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into data, solving complex compensation questions, and translating analysis into clear, actionable insights.

What You'll Do

• Conduct market pricing and benchmarking for a variety of roles using external compensation surveys and internal job and organizational data.
• Perform advanced compensation analyses and modeling to support pay decisions, program design, and business needs.
• Conduct pay equity, internal equity, and compensation impact analyses, identifying trends, potential issues, and recommended actions.
• Support complex compensation reviews, including job evaluations, organizational changes, promotions, new or evolving roles, and other pay-related decisions.
• Partner with HR and business stakeholders to provide compensation analysis, guidance, and recommendations.

You're comfortable working through complex questions where the answer isn't immediately obvious, can balance market data with internal considerations, and know how to turn detailed analysis into clear recommendations. You'll also thrive in an environment where business needs and priorities can change quickly, requiring flexibility, sound judgment, and the ability to support a variety of functions and stakeholders.
