📋 Description

• 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.

🎯 Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in compensation, total rewards, or a related HR function — ideally at a high-growth tech startup. • Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with large data sets, building models in Excel/Sheets, and translating data into clear recommendations. • Experience working with compensation survey data (Radford/Pave strongly preferred). • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — able to present to and influence senior leadership. • Comfort operating as both strategist and executor; willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done without a large team beneath you. • Experience with global compensation, including working in or alongside an EOR (e.g., Remote, Deel) is a strong plus. • Familiarity with Pave and/or Workday is a strong plus. • Tech startup experience preferred — you're comfortable with ambiguity, fast pace, and evolving priorities.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
