Senior Compensation Manager

About The Team

Our team is growing! We're looking to hire a Senior Compensation Manager to join the Total Rewards team. The ideal candidate brings experience in high-growth compensation strategies and passionate about bridging market data and talent retention. We need someone who thrives on creating scalable rewards systems, optimizing complex pay structures, and building world-class incentive programs from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end compensation cycles—including annual merit, promotion, and off-cycle processes—from initial planning and modeling through to execution and communication.
• Develop and maintain global salary range structures through rigorous market pricing, survey participation, and ongoing competitive benchmarking.
• Partner with senior leaders, HRBPs, Finance, and Legal to drive compensation program design, governance, and delivery.
• Provide strategic thought partnership on broad-based compensation topics, including job architecture, pay equity, and incentive plan design.
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights and effectively communicate compensation philosophies to leaders and managers at all levels.
• Manage multiple priorities simultaneously with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

What You Need

• 7+ years of broad-based compensation experience in a U.S. public company, preferably within a high-growth technology or manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading compensation cycles independently from design through execution.
• Strong expertise in market pricing, salary range development, and competitive benchmarking using major survey sources (e.g., Radford/Aon, Mercer, Willis Towers Watson).
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, with a proven track record of building complex models and conducting deep data analysis.
• A self-driven mindset with a high standard for accuracy, capable of managing competing priorities and delivering quality work with minimal oversight in an ambiguous environment.
• Excellent communication and critical thinking skills, with the ability to present complex compensation concepts clearly to non-compensation audiences.

Bonus Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field; an advanced degree or CCP (Certified Compensation Professional) designation is a plus.
• Experience managing global compensation programs.
• Prior compensation experience in the manufacturing, aerospace, airline, or automotive sectors.

Pay

Base pay between $180,000 - $210,000. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
