Job Title: Senior Compensation Manager Location: United States Workplace Type: Remote JOB SUMMARY The future is bright for the Porch Group, and we'd love for you to be a part of it as our Senior Compensation Manager. As part of the global Total Rewards Team, the Senior Compensation Manager is a key individual contributor responsible for designing, implementing, and managing compensation programs and policies that support business objectives and attract, retain, and motivate top talent. This role serves as a trusted advisor to the HRBP team, Talent Acquisition, and business leaders on all things compensation — from executive pay and proxy reporting to broad-based program administration and annual review cycles. You will own meaningful, complex projects end-to-end and bring both analytical rigor and strategic thinking to a small, high-performing team that is still building and evolving its programs. If you thrive in a hands-on environment where your work directly shapes how a Nasdaq-listed company pays and rewards its people, this role is for you. WHAT YOU WILL DO AS A SENIOR COMPENSATION MANAGER • Independently lead the design, execution, and governance of core compensation programs including base salary structures, annual incentive plans, and long-term equity-based compensation, ensuring alignment with business strategy, pay-for-performance principles, and shareholder interests. • Serve as a key contributor to Compensation Committee support, including preparation of materials, analyses, and executive summaries related to executive and broad-based compensation programs. • Support proxy statement (CD&A) development, including drafting inputs, quantitative disclosures, and pay-for-performance analyses in partnership with Legal, Finance, and external advisors. • Own and maintain job architecture and leveling frameworks consistent with Radford methodology; create and update job profiles in Workday. • Lead Porch's annual compensation survey submissions and own relationships with survey providers; serve as primary SME for the survey aggregator Payfactors. • Analyze survey data to understand market trends and maintain and recommend updates to salary structures, pay policies, and practices. • Lead annual and mid-year compensation review cycles (merit, bonus, incentive, and equity), ensuring disciplined execution, adherence to internal controls, and alignment with approved budgets. • Act as a senior compensation advisor to HR Business Partners and business leaders on matters related to hiring, promotions, retention actions, organizational design, and workforce planning. • Partner closely with Finance to manage compensation budgets and forecasts; own the quarterly compensation accrual process in support of accounting quarter-end activities. • Consult on sales compensation, short-term and long-term incentive plans; support annual incentive plan refresh, plan documentation, and goal setting. • Ensure compensation programs comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations including equal pay, wage and hour, pay transparency, and public-company disclosure requirements. • Influence cross-functional stakeholders to drive compensation initiatives, policy enhancements, and process improvements through expertise and data-driven recommendations. • Provide functional leadership and mentorship to team members; contribute to developing a positive team culture. WHAT YOU WILL BRING AS A SENIOR COMPENSATION MANAGER • 8+ years of progressive experience in compensation, total rewards, or a closely related HR function. • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience. • Demonstrated hands-on expertise in executive compensation, including direct experience supporting Compensation Committee materials and proxy statement (CD&A) development — not just exposure through a team or consulting engagement. • Experience in a public-company environment with familiarity with compensation governance, SEC/SOX requirements, and public disclosure standards. • Advanced ability in conducting market pricing, salary benchmarking, and job evaluation/leveling; experience with Radford/Aon and/or Mercer survey platforms strongly preferred. • Expert proficiency in Excel including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and advanced data analysis; strong analytical and quantitative skills with large data sets. • Experience leading or meaningfully contributing to annual compensation review cycles (merit, bonus, equity). • Ability to own projects independently from inception through execution — this is a roll-up-your-sleeves IC role without a large team behind you. • Strong communication skills with demonstrated ability to present compensation concepts clearly to senior leaders and board-level audiences; collaborative, team-oriented style required. • Proficiency with Workday compensation module preferred; experience building or iterating on Workday comp setup is a plus. • Consulting firm background (Aon, Radford, Mercer, WTW, or similar) followed by sustained in-house experience is an ideal profile. • Knowledge of U.S. compensation-related laws and regulations including FLSA, equal pay, pay transparency, and pay equity; non-US compensation awareness a plus. • CCP certification or active progress toward certification preferred. • Master's degree in HR, Finance, or a related field a plus.
