As the company continues to scale rapidly, this role will serve as a key partner to the Global Total Rewards Manager and the broader People team, helping to define and operationalize our compensation philosophy, reviewing and updating our comp bands as needed, and build a world-class global compensation function.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact IC role. You will work closely with PBPs, Finance, and Recruiting, and will need to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

Lead the annual review of compensation bands, benchmarking against market data (Radford/Pave) and providing recommendations to the business.

Own and drive the annual Radford compensation survey submission and data output analysis.

Own compensation planning cycles end-to-end, including bonus and merit cycles, using Pave and/or Workday.

Partner with Recruiting/PBPs to deliver consistent, competitive offer recommendations and serve as a compensation advisor throughout the candidate lifecycle.

Support global expansion efforts by establishing competitive, compliant compensation structures across all jurisdictions in which we operate.

Collaborate with the HRIS team to migrate compensation data from spreadsheets into Workday, improving data integrity and accessibility.

In your first 90 days, you will assess existing compensation bands, support the Radford survey submission, and build relationships with key stakeholders across PBPs, Finance, and Recruiting.
