About the Role
We are seeking a Senior / Manager, Compensation Consultant to join the Total Rewards / Compensation Center of Excellence (CoE).

This role is designed for experienced compensation professionals who enjoy a strong individual‑contributor focus with player‑coach responsibilities, rather than traditional people‑management roles.

- Support and lead annual and cyclical compensation processes, including merit, promotions, off‑cycle adjustments, and pay equity reviews.
- Analyze internal equity and market competitiveness; prepare recommendations aligned with the company's compensation governance.
- Review and guide complex compensation recommendations to ensure consistency and policy alignment.
- Lead components of compensation programs and initiatives, including incentive plan updates, market reviews, and process improvements.
- Provide Tier II compensation support for complex cases escalated from HR shared services (Employee Center).
- Act as an escalation point for stakeholder questions and complex policy interpretations.
- Support and mentor junior consultants as needed (formal people management may be limited or situational).
Qualifications
- Typically 7–12 years of progressive experience in compensation or total rewards, with strong compensation focus.
- Demonstrated experience with market pricing, job evaluation, and compensation cycle execution.
- Experience leading compensation projects or workstreams is strongly preferred.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear, practical recommendations.
- Strong consulting and stakeholder management skills.
- Comfortable working in a shared services / CoE environment with tight timelines.
