• Prepare compensation reports, dashboards, and analyses to support data-driven decision-making by HR and business leaders.
• Maintain compensation data in the HRIS and ensure accuracy across systems and tools.
• Support pay transparency initiatives, including the maintenance and communication of compensation ranges.




• Contribute to documentation of total rewards policies, job descriptions, and process guidelines.
• Collaborate with Finance and HR Operations to support budgeting and reporting for India compensation programs.
• Provide analytical support for broader global total rewards projects as needed.

• This role will require occasional travel for team meetings, training, or company events.

What We're Looking For:
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in compensation, total rewards, or HR analytics.
• Solid understanding of compensation fundamentals, including job evaluation, salary benchmarking, and pay structure design.
• Experience working with compensation survey tools (Mercer, Aon/Radford, WTW, Zinnov or similar) and interpreting market data.
• Strong analytical and Excel/Google Sheets skills; ability to work with large datasets and build clear, actionable reports.
• Familiarity with India compensation practices, statutory benefits (PF, gratuity, etc.), and local market norms.
• Experience with HRIS platforms (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors) and ability to pull and manipulate data.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to present data clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Availability for some overlap with US Central Time hours for collaboration with the global team.

Preferred Skills:
• Experience in a tech company or PE-backed, high-growth organization.
