Why This Role Stands Out

Join a team that’s reshaping the compensation landscape to drive clarity, consistency, and compliance. You won’t just analyze data—you’ll directly influence how leaders and HR Business Partners approach compensation decisions. This is a chance to be a strategic advisor, not just an administrator. From developing policies to launching communication strategies, your work will ensure equitable, competitive pay practices across the organization. And with a strong path to hire, your future here looks just as rewarding.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Compensation Consultant who can partner closely with HRBPs and business leaders to implement and optimize compensation strategies. You'll play a key role in stabilizing and structuring pay programs, improving internal communications, and ensuring fair and compliant compensation decisions across all levels—executive and non-executive.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a compensation advisor to HR and business leaders, building trust and driving consistent practices
• Evaluate job roles using market pricing techniques and maintain equitable salary structures
• Analyze and identify risks—such as incorrect earnings code allocations—that could impact tax treatment or compliance
• Partner with payroll and talent acquisition to catch and correct errors early in the process
• Co-create formal compensation policies, procedures, and documentation with analysts and leadership
• Provide training and consultative support on compensation strategies and decisions
• Monitor compensation trends and regulatory updates across states—especially California
• Develop dashboards and reports to keep leadership informed on compensation performance
• Assist with HRIS testing (e.g., SuccessFactors or UKG compensation modules)
  
  

Success Metrics

• Implementation of consistent compensation policies across the organization
• Improved communication between HR, business leaders, and compensation partners
• Identification and resolution of pay structure risks before payroll execution
• Creation of compensation documentation and reporting dashboards within 90 days
• Demonstrated alignment of pay decisions with defined policies and procedures
  
  

Who You Are

• You have at least 4–5 years of progressive compensation experience and understand how to translate data into action
• You’ve worked closely with HRIS systems and are comfortable testing modules like SuccessFactors or UKG
• You’re analytical, but also a strong communicator—someone who can advise and educate, not just execute
• You have a deep understanding of wage and hour laws (especially FLSA) and know how pay works across different states
• You’ve designed or helped implement compensation plans and understand how to build structure from the ground up
• You believe in clear, inclusive communication and equitable compensation practices
