If you're someone who genuinely loves working with data, gets excited when a spreadsheet finally clicks, enjoys uncovering the story behind the numbers, and wants to build a career at the intersection of people, analytics, and operations, we invite you to explore this opportunity. We are seeking a forward-thinking and detail-oriented Total Rewards Analyst to join the Total Rewards team at Vantage Elevation — someone who is passionate about turning data into insights and contributing to meaningful business decisions.

Vantage Elevation, LLC is an independent, industry-leading manufacturer of elevator components and systems with a long history of innovation and reliability. Founded in 1899, Vantage employs over 1,000 people across manufacturing sites and offices in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

We support our teams, work closely with our customers, and hold ourselves accountable for quality, safety, and integrity in everything we do.

This is a high-trust, high-exposure role supporting the Director of Total Rewards across three core areas: headcount analytics, compensation analytics and program administration, and benefits utilization and program management. You'll sit close to the work and close to leadership, which means you'll learn fast.

No prior HR experience is required. What matters is that you're analytical, organized, eager to grow, and mature enough to handle sensitive employee information with professionalism and discretion.

• Analyze benefits enrollment, utilization, and cost trend data to identify opportunities and flag concerns
• Prepare reports for open enrollment planning, vendor reviews, and leadership updates
• Support day-to-day benefits program administration and employee data maintenance
• Track key benefits metrics and assist in evaluating program effectiveness

• Maintain clean, well-organized data and documentation
• Identify process improvement opportunities and help build more efficient workflows
• Handle all work with a high degree of professionalism given the confidential nature of the data
• Be curious, ask questions, dig into the numbers, and bring insights, not just outputs

Required:
