  • Champion pay transparency and consistency through thoughtful communication and training.
  • Partner & Influence Across the Business

  • 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in compensation design and analysis.
  • Expertise in building salary ranges, job grading structures , and developing compensation policies.
  • Strong grasp of compensation laws, internal equity principles , and market pricing tools.
  • Advanced data analysis and Excel skills , with experience using compensation benchmarking tools and HRIS systems.
