Key Responsibilities

• Set up the Fremont, CA team to make calls without waiting on you
• Author the playbook so the next VP of HR doesn't start from a blank page
• Apply Compensation Benchmarking expertise to model scenarios and inform key decisions
• Keep the freelance partnership honest with numbers both sides accept
• Own the relationship with the Persuasion vendor so it stops being a fire drill
• Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Audi signs anything

What You'll Bring

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
• Working knowledge of HR Business Partnering alongside transferable Compensation Benchmarking chops
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
