Compensation Analyst II

About the role

EarnIn is on a mission to build financial products that put people in control of their own money. Our compensation team plays a critical role in making sure we attract, retain, and reward the people who make that mission possible — fairly, transparently, and competitively. We're looking for a Compensation Analyst to join our Total Rewards team.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and refine global salary bands and job architecture, ensuring alignment with market data and internal equity
• Conduct ongoing benchmarking using survey sources (e.g., Radford/Aon, Carta, and others) and provide recommendations on pay positioning
• Support annual merit, promotion, and compensation review cycles — including building tooling, reviewing inputs, and auditing outputs for consistency and equity
• Partner with People Partners and Talent Acquisition to provide compensation recommendations for new roles, offers, and promotions across all levels and geographies
• Respond to ad hoc comp questions from leadership and employees, translating data into clear, actionable guidance in alignment with internal pay practices
• Maintain data integrity across equity records; reconcile between the equity platform and HRIS
• Support compliance with international equity tax requirements across EarnIn’s operating jurisdictions
• Build and maintain compensation dashboards and reports that give leadership visibility into spend, distribution, and equity across the organization

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in compensation, total rewards, or a related analytical function (e.g., finance, HR analytics, or consulting)
• Solid understanding of broad-based compensation principles — salary structures, market pricing, job leveling, and pay equity — with the ability to apply them in ambiguous, fast-moving situations
• Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, including working with large datasets and building structured models
• Familiarity with at least one compensation survey methodology (Radford/Aon, Mercer, Compdata, or similar)
• Unusually high attention to detail — ability to catch the error before it becomes a problem, and build processes so it doesn't happen again
• Clear, effective communicator who can explain comp decisions to non-specialists
• Ability to handle sensitive compensation and employee data with appropriate confidentiality

Qualifications

• Experience helping shape or evolve compensation philosophy — whether that's informing pay positioning decisions, building frameworks that scale, or bringing AI-native workflows into how comp work actually gets done
• Experience in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Experience working in a global organization with employees in multiple countries
• Experience with an HRIS (Workday, Rippling, or similar)

Skills

• Excel or Google Sheets proficiency
• Experience with compensation survey methodologies
• Attention to detail
• Clear communication skills
• Handling sensitive data
