  • Experience leading rewards projects, with the ability to build consensus, manage expectations across a wide range of stakeholders, coordinate multiple workstreams, and prioritize work.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, including advanced Excel skills (pivot tables; XLOOKUP; INDEX-MATCH; nested IF statements; SUMIFS/COUNTIFS; IFERROR) and experience performing scenario analysis, reconciliations, and trend analysis to interpret complex data sets and inform compensation decisions.
  • Experience using AI to simplify work and enhance results; AI fluency and genuine curiosity about using AI to reshape work.

  • High ownership and drive; pushes work forward without waiting for direction and is comfortable operating at a fast pace with high expectations.
  • Consulting-grade problem-solving skills: structures ambiguity, reasons from hypotheses, and builds a compelling, evidence-based case for change.
  • Outcomes over activity: relentless focus on delivering results.
  • Ability to influence stakeholders through strong judgment, credible analysis, and a collaborative approach.
  • Experience supporting annual compensation review cycles, incentive planning, and market pricing in a complex organization.
  • Experience supporting compensation in financial services, insurance, or a similarly regulated industry.
  • Familiarity with compensation survey providers, including Mercer, WTW, and Radford McLagan, and other external market data sources.
