Job description

The Staff Compensation Manager plays a critical role in shaping and advancing the organization’s compensation strategy to support business growth, scalability, and talent outcomes. This role is responsible for leading executive (M5+) compensation, driving strategic compensation programs, and developing market-informed approaches that enable the company to compete effectively across geographies and talent segments. Responsibilities include designing and evolving compensation frameworks, supporting complex and high-impact decisions, and delivering forward-looking insights based on market data and internal trends. The role partners closely with senior leadership, People Partners, Finance, and Recruiting to ensure compensation strategies are aligned with business priorities. In addition, this role builds scalable tools, frameworks, and analytical approaches that improve consistency and decision quality across the organization. The Staff Compensation Manager also plays a key role in integrating compensation strategies into broader Total Rewards programs and may serve as a successor path to Head of Compensation as the function continues to scale.
