Analyst I, Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The Analyst I, Compensation and Benefits is an entry point into ACPWB's Strategic Research practice for candidates who are serious about building a career in total rewards program analysis. You will work alongside experienced advisors and analysts, contributing to real deliverables from your first week. This is not a coffee‑and‑copies role; genuine effort, curiosity, and training are emphasized. ACPWB is expanding its Strategic Research capacity and seeks an Analyst I ready to contribute from day one while openly acknowledging areas for growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete assigned compliance, ethics, and professional development training modules on schedule.
• Assist in maintaining and updating ACPWB's proprietary benchmarking data libraries.
• Perform quality‑control checks on analytical models produced by senior team members.
• Support the collection and organization of proxy statement and SEC filing data.
• Support data requests from senior team members with timely, accurate, and well‑organized outputs.
• Conduct literature reviews and desktop research on topics relevant to total rewards program analysis.
• Prepare internal reference documents and research summaries for use by engagement teams.

Qualifications

Required

• Ability to follow detailed analytical instructions and apply feedback consistently.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with attention to detail and grammatical precision.
• Willingness to pursue CCP or other professional certifications as part of your development at ACPWB.
• Ability to work accurately under deadline pressure in a client‑services environment.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite including Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Preferred

• Experience with professional writing — reports, memos, or analytical summaries.
• Interest in Milwaukee and the Midwest as a place to build a professional career.
• Experience with survey research methods or primary data collection.

Why ACPWB

ACPWB occupies a distinctive market position: rigorous enough to be taken seriously by institutional investors and governance experts, yet accessible enough to serve individual professionals navigating their first salary negotiation. Founded in Milwaukee in 2006, the firm now offers a full‑service research and advisory practice serving clients from early‑stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises, while remaining rooted in Milwaukee.

Interview Process

The process is intentionally streamlined: one phone screen, one comprehensive interview, one reference check, and one offer. ACPWB aims to complete the process within 14 to 21 days of initial contact, believing additional rounds do not improve predictive accuracy and would consume candidates' time.

What Success Looks Like

• Receive a mid‑year performance review confirming progress on the expected development path.
• Establish a clear picture of personal strengths and development areas through honest self‑assessment and manager feedback.
• Produce at least one deliverable component that requires no significant revision from a senior reviewer.
• Build positive working relationships with at least three peers across different parts of the firm.

Application

Applications for this position are being accepted through October 12, 2026.
