## About the role

You'll build the connective tissue between what we believe about pay and how pay decisions actually get made across a fast-growing org. That means bringing rigor to how we benchmark, review, and adjust compensation — and building the systems and processes that let that rigor hold as we scale. You'll own it end to end and hands-on: running the market research, designing the review cycle, keeping the data clean, and serving as the person HRBPs and leaders turn to when a pay question needs a real answer.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of progressive compensation experience, ideally including time maintaining and evolving comp programs (bands, review cycles, market benchmarking) in a fast-growing company
- Direct experience with equity compensation (options, RSUs, or similar) and comfort partnering with Finance on equity framework design
- Strong analytical foundation: comfortable with market data, compensation modeling, and translating data into clear recommendations
- A hands-on, do-er mindset — comfortable owning the process and the details, not just setting direction for others to execute
- Experience partnering with HRBPs, Finance, and People Ops as equal stakeholders
- Excellent written communication — able to explain compensation mechanics clearly to audiences ranging from executives to first-time managers
