Key Responsibilities

  • Direct day-to-day compensation operations across multiple business units, including market pricing, role leveling, career frameworks, and Fair Labor Standards Act compliance reviews.
  • Own the annual merit and bonus planning cycle from timeline and system configuration through communications, analysis, and outcome review.
  • Use market intelligence and compensation surveys to assess competitiveness and guide program improvements.
  • Design, implement, and maintain base-pay, variable-pay, and incentive programs aligned with the organization’s compensation philosophy.
  • Build and evolve job architecture, salary structures, and career-level frameworks that support scale and internal consistency.
  • Advise senior leaders and People partners on pay decisions, pay equity, performance alignment, and total rewards strategy.
  • Partner with People Systems and data teams to improve compensation technology, data integrity, reporting, and usability.
  • Collaborate with People, Legal, Finance, and business leadership to improve process quality, efficiency, and governance.
  • Lead cross-functional compensation initiatives and project teams while maintaining alignment with broader business priorities.
  • Support the continued development of the compensation function, team capabilities, and operating model.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Finance, Business, or a related field.
  • At least 10 years of compensation experience, including at least five years of direct people management and project-team leadership.
  • Deep experience with base and variable compensation and large-scale merit and bonus cycles across diverse business units.
  • Demonstrated success designing compensation programs, job architectures, salary structures, market-benchmarking practices, pay-equity approaches, and incentive programs.
  • Strong analytical, financial-modeling, project-management, process-improvement, and executive-communication skills.
  • Experience working with a human capital management platform and compensation-survey data or aggregation tools.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in compensation consulting.
  • Experience with Workday, Workday Advanced Compensation, or CompAnalyst.
  • Certified Compensation Professional credential or an advanced degree.
  • Experience supporting global, multi-business-unit, or entertainment and media organizations.
