Sr Compensation Analyst
About The Position
TEGNA is looking for a Senior Compensation Analyst who can do more than run numbers—you’ll help shape how we pay, reward, and retain talent across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of compensation strategy, analytics, and HR technology, and plays a key part in driving smarter, data-informed decisions. You’ll partner closely with HR, Finance, and business leaders to design, analyze, and improve compensation programs that are competitive, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes. If you like digging into data, challenging assumptions, and actually influencing decisions (not just reporting on them), this is your lane.
Requirements
- 5–8 years of experience in compensation, HR analytics, or related field
- Strong analytical mindset—you’re comfortable with data, but more importantly, you know what matters
- Advanced Excel skills (if you love messy datasets, even better)
- Experience with HR systems and reporting tools (UKG, Cognos, or similar)
- Working knowledge of compensation-related regulations (FLSA, pay equity, etc.)
- Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and move work forward without hand-holding
- Strong communication skills—you can translate complex analysis into clear business recommendations
- Curiosity and a bias for improving how things work
