What you’ll do
We are looking for a Compensation Partner to join our Compensation team.

You will serve as a trusted compensation subject matter expert to stakeholders and employees as we continue to grow.

  • Conduct detailed compensation analysis and modeling, leveraging AI and automation to support program design and decision-making.

  • Lead market benchmarking efforts globally, building scalable workflows for market reviews and ongoing evaluation of internal equity and external competitiveness.

  • Manage the execution of our compensation planning cycles, with a focus on data accuracy, analysis, and process optimization.

  • Partner with the Recruiting team to optimize offer processes, providing market intelligence and internal equity insights.

  • Support stock plan administration, partnering with Legal to manage equity grant processes and improve the accuracy and employee experience of equity operations.

  • Develop and maintain compensation tools, dashboards, and self-service experiences that enable Recruiting, People, and business leaders to access compensation insights.

  • Champion AI-native workflows by integrating AI tools and automation into compensation processes to improve operational efficiency and surface sharper insights.

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years of compensation or total rewards experience in high-growth technology environments.

  • Proven experience developing and maintaining compensation bands, including sales OTE and equity frameworks, and job architectures at scale.

  • Strong understanding of global compensation practices, with experience supporting international markets.

  • Hands-on experience with equity compensation, including RSUs and stock options, and comfort navigating equity administration processes and platforms such as Carta.

  • Highly collaborative, with a track record of building strong cross-functional partnerships, particularly with Recruiting, Legal, and People teams.

  • Skilled in leveraging compensation data platforms such as Pave, Radford, and Levels.FYI, and HRIS platforms such as Workday to generate insights and inform decision-making.

  • An AI-native operating mindset: you instinctively look for ways to use AI, automation, and technology to improve how work gets done rather than defaulting to manual processes.

Even better…

  • You've supported compensation programs spanning multiple geographies, including navigating local pay regulations, statutory requirements, and regional market data.

  • You have experience at a large or high-growth technology company and understand how to design scalable compensation programs and processes.

Our values

  • Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.
