About The Position

VERSANT is seeking a Total Rewards Analyst to support the execution and ongoing administration of our Total Rewards programs. Our Total Rewards function brings together Compensation and Benefits to attract and inspire world-class creative and commercial talent who will shape VERSANT’s future.

You’ll support communications, launches, timelines, employee-facing materials, reporting, and day-to-day program administration while helping the team identify practical ways to simplify recurring work and improve how Total Rewards operates as a connected function.
