Join us in our mission to help companies make smarter pay decisions they can trust! About the role Syndio is the leader in compensation equity and pay decision intelligence, helping the world's largest employers make fair, defensible, and transparent pay decisions at scale. As our enterprise footprint grows, the quantitative depth behind our recommendations has to keep pace. The Senior Domain Expert is a customer-facing quantitative practitioner on the Applied Pay Intelligence team. You'll regularly present and defend pay equity methodology directly to enterprise customers — HR leaders, total rewards teams, legal counsel, and executives — while leading a small squad as a senior individual contributor. You own an area of Syndio's methodology and asset library, build the 1:many resources that scale your expertise across the customer base, partner directly with Product to embed methodology into Decisions and Essentials, and show up in the customer conversations where the numbers and the reasoning have to be right. You will translate custom analytics into product requirements and support product and development teams as needed on design and implementation plans, partner with the data science and development teams to ensure the product helps advance the outcomes of our total rewards customers. Why this job is exciting - Lead a squad. You will be an individual contributor but you will own an area of Syndio's methodology and content — comparator group logic, regression modeling, remediation methodology, or a related domain. Guide the squad's roadmap, prioritize what gets built, and hold the technical bar for the work that ships.

- Apply methodology in complex customer situations. Work through the statistical questions customers can't resolve inside the product: unusual workforce structures, small-group modeling, contested comparator choices, novel regulatory tests. Bring the methods, explain the tradeoffs, defend the approach. - Build 1:many resources. Turn recurring methodological questions into durable content — customer briefings, methodology guides, model documentation, worked examples — so recurring questions do not require a recurring meeting. - Partner with Product. Work directly with Product and AI teams to embed methodology into Decisions and Essentials. Translate quantitative rigor into product logic, review model outputs, catch the edge cases before customers do. - Show up for the moments that matter. Anchor customer QBRs, regulatory inflection points, and board-adjacent conversations where the methodology has to hold. Not every meeting — the ones where getting the math and the framing right changes the outcome. - Feed the frameworks upward. Surface what current frameworks don't yet cover. Bring specific customer patterns and methodological gaps to the Principal-level colleagues and to Product so the platform's intelligence keeps compounding. About you - 5+ years of hands-on quantitative work in labor economics, statistics, econometrics, industrial-organizational psychology, or a directly related field, applied to compensation, workforce, or pay equity questions.
