Senior Compensation Manager

Everlaw•Oakland, CA

6d•$179,000 - $226,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As we step into our next phase of growth, Everlaw is looking for a Senior Compensation Manager to shape and operationalize our global compensation programs. As we enter this period of rapid growth, you'll play a critical role in ensuring that our Compensation strategy enables us to attract, engage and retain talented Everlawyers at all levels. To do this, you'll partner closely with our People, Finance, Legal, and leadership teams to scale our compensation programs, ensuring that they are market-competitive, equitable and aligned with our mission and values. This role requires both strategic thinking and operational excellence, combining deep compensation expertise, a passion for data-driven decision-making, and a willingness to roll your sleeves up and operationalize change through our Total Rewards tools (Navia, Pave, Radford, Rippling, and Sequoia to name a few!). This is a full-time exempt position based in our Oakland, California office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home Tu/Fr. Getting started We’re committed to your success and want you to feel like a part of our team! You’ll go through our standard onboarding process, which will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our product, policies, processes, and team structure and goals. We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1. We’re excited to find ways for you to contribute, and will create room for you to learn and grow along the way.

Requirements

At least 8 years of professional experience in cash compensation, bonus/incentive program design and equity compensation.
Experience in high growth companies, with pattern recognition and earned experience across different stages of growth - e.g. growth stage, late stage, pre-IPO, post-IPO
Exceptional modeling skills, including advanced proficiency in googlesheets (e.g. pivot tables, complex formulas, vlookup).
Data-driven leader. You recognize the value of tried and true sources and timely signals, grounding your recommendations in data from Pave and Radford, live postings, and feedback from candidates, recruiters and managers alike. Your insights are holistic - that’s what makes them sound.
Consultative collaborator. You build trust easily, and are a sought-after thought partner in any compensation conversation. You listen thoughtfully, incorporating perspectives where possible, and pushing/challenging where needed. You are comfortable working within People teams and with stakeholders like Finance, Legal, RevOps, and Hiring Managers alike.
Skilled storyteller. You communicate for impact. While you dig deep into the details in your own work, you know when to synthesize and simplify in service of your audience. Thanks to you, Everlawyers walk away from each interaction - whether it be 1:1, a small info session, or a company-wide Townhall - feeling more bullish than bewildered.
Outstanding hands on operator. You roll up your sleeves to get things done, efficiently, effectively, and excellently. You recognize that strategy is important, but outcomes matter, and bring pace and performance to meet the moment.

Nice To Haves

You have experience in go-to-market compensation and executive compensation in the UK and other non-US markets.
You have experience with advanced analytics or business intelligence tools (e.g. Looker, Tableau)
You’re adept at using SQL, Python, Claude and Cursor

Responsibilities

Steward our strategy, and ensure that our compensation programs are clear, competitive, and compelling: In partnership with our Head of Total Rewards, Insights & Operations and the broader People Leadership Team, you’ll take stock of our compensation strategy annually, ensuring that our cash and equity enable us to attract, develop, and retain a talented team that thrives in a culture of pace and performance.
Program manage our bi-annual compensation cycles: You’ll translate strategy to execution, leading the end-to-end rollouts of our cash and equity compensation review cycles efficiently and effectively. You’ll partner with our Finance Team on modeling, recommendations, and budget sign off; collaborate with our People Programs team to develop helpful, high quality education; and sweat the details in Pave to ensure every Everlawyer gets the adjustment they earned.
Provide timely thought partnership: As new roles emerge, you’ll partner closely with hiring managers to understand the core skills required, and craft new job bands to recognize and reward these meaningfully.
Uplevel our compensation tech stack: Throughout the year, you’ll take a holistic look at our Total Rewards tech stack and - in partnership with People Systems - continuously identify potential areas for improvement to support data-driven decision-making. If/Where it makes sense, you’ll find targeted ways to use AI to complement earned experience and pattern recognition too.
