Compensation Analyst II

EarnIn

12d•$113,000 - $139,000•Remote

About The Position

EarnIn is on a mission to build financial products that put people in control of their own money. Our compensation team plays a critical role in making sure we attract, retain, and reward the people who make that mission possible — fairly, transparently, and competitively. We’re looking for a Compensation Analyst to join our Total Rewards team. In this role, you’ll have direct responsibility for the day-to-day operations of our global compensation and equity programs — from maintaining salary structures and running market analyses to administering equity grants and supporting annual cycles. You’ll partner closely with People Partners, Finance, Legal, and our equity platform provider to keep our programs running smoothly and evolving as we scale. This is a role with real scope and autonomy, suited to someone who can move fluidly between data analysis and clear communication with stakeholders. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position. This is a remote role, though it may require travel to our Mountain View HQ a few times a year. The remote base salary range for this full-time position is $113,000-$139,000, plus equity and benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Requirements

3+ years of demonstrated experience in compensation, total rewards, or a related analytical function (e.g., finance, HR analytics, or consulting)
Solid understanding of broad-based compensation principles — salary structures, market pricing, job leveling, and pay equity
Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, including working with large datasets and building structured models
Familiarity with at least one compensation survey methodology (Radford/Aon, Mercer, Compdata, or similar)
Strong attention to detail with a track record of catching errors before they become problems
Clear, effective communicator who can explain comp decisions to non-specialists
Ability to handle sensitive compensation and employee data with appropriate confidentiality

Nice To Haves

Equity administration experience: familiarity with grant processing, vesting schedules, and RSU/option mechanics is a plus.
Experience working in a global organization with employees in multiple countries is a plus.
Experience with an HRIS (Workday, Rippling, or similar) is a plus.

Serve as the primary liaison with our equity platform (e.g., Carta or equivalent) and internal Finance/Legal teams
Maintain data integrity across equity records; reconcile between equity platform and HRIS
Support equity-related disclosures, audits, and reporting requirements
