• 5+ years of experience in compensation, preferably with experience with a non-exempt/hourly workforce.
• Proven experience designing and implementing compensation programs in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret compensation data and present insights to leadership.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across teams.

Responsibilities

• Support the Director of Total Rewards in developing and refining compensation strategies that align with company goals, industry benchmarks, and talent needs.
• Help ensure that compensation packages are competitive and equitable across the organization, both domestically and internationally.
• Serve as a partner to the People Business Partner, People Operations, and Recruiting teams, supporting them on offers, promotions, internal transfers, off-cycle adjustments, and employee-specific pay questions.
• Build the recurring cadence, tooling, and self-service guidance that allow these teams to resolve routine compensation questions independently and escalate complex cases with the right context.
• Serve as project owner for recurring compensation programs, including the annual merit and equity review, as well as ad hoc programs such as periodic promotion review cycles.
• Build the timeline, coordinate inputs from People, Finance, and Payroll, prepare manager-facing tools and guidance, and keep stakeholders on track through each cycle.
• Help design, document, and maintain compensation programs and policies for the company’s non-exempt/hourly workforce, including shift differentials, premium and on-call pay, overtime practices, and pay-for-skills or certification premiums.
• Partner with Legal, Payroll, and Operations to ensure programs are compliant with FLSA and applicable state wage and hour requirements, and are administrable at scale across sites.
• Manage the compensation survey cycle day to day – data submissions, job matching and leveling, validation, and ad hoc benchmarking requests.
• Use that data to build and recommend new pay bands in Pave and maintain existing ones against market movement, geographic differentials, and internal equity, and to document methodology and range placement guidance the People team can apply consistently.
• Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of compensation programs, making recommendations for adjustments and improvements.
• Stay informed about trends in compensation, equity plans, and HR technology to bring innovative solutions to the company.
