Role Overview

As a Senior Compensation Analyst, you are seen as a cross-functional expert on various types of compensation — base pay, bonuses, sales incentives, and equity. You regularly collaborate with and advise P&C Business Partners on new jobs, department reorgs, and/or internal pay concerns. Talent Acquisition seeks you out to provide guidance on offers, ensuring we remain market competitive and internally equitable. You’re an influential partner to leadership teams and provide input on sales incentive plan design as well as support plan administration. You routinely partner with the rest of the Compensation Team to analyze our equity compensation plans, to participate in and evaluate results from salary surveys, and to support large-scale compensation projects like career framework, job architecture, and annual merit planning. You are not here to push paper – you are here to influence decision making using your compensation expertise.
