Lead configuration and rollout of annual and mid-year compensation cycles in Workday and comp tooling
Manage and maintain the company comp systems: Compa, Pave, and external survey tools (Compensia, Radford)
Run benchmarking analysis — job matching, market data pulls, competitive pay positioning
Maintain compensation band and zone data; ensure ranges stay current and accurate
Build and maintain complex models in support of program design and leadership decisions
Partner closely with other team members on high-priority workstreams and peak-season capacity
Qualifications:
5–8+ years of experience in compensation or total rewards
Hands-on experience owning or co-owning a compensation cycle (YE or mid-year)

Strong analytical skills — you build and own complex models, not just populate templates
RSU/equity experience — you understand how equity comp works and can explain it clearly
Systems fluency — comfortable in at least one comp tool (Workday, Compa, Pave, or equivalent)
Nice to have: private/pre-IPO experience, EPD client support, the company tech stack familiarity
