Compensation Lead

ABOUT THE TEAM

The People and Culture team is committed to creating a fulfilling and inspiring place to work for all of the people who deliver the client experience - from our warehouse team to tech talent to merchants to stylists. We pride ourselves on creating a fun and collaborative environment where we solve problems together. We are looking for people who are bright, kind and motivated by challenge to join our team and model the culture we seek to create!

Stitch Fix's Compensation team is at an exciting moment of transformation. We have a stable, structured job architecture, but are planning to reinvent and rebuild some of our programs from scratch over the next few years. The team has the leeway to innovate on compensation programs and therefore has an exciting runway ahead.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Compensation Lead, you will serve as a Compensation Partner to several of our functions, deep dive into the analytics that drive compensation team initiatives, act as a program manager, and be a mentor to other team members. As a compensation subject matter expert, you'll work closely with our People & Culture Business Partners on program execution and creating stewards of our compensation philosophy and programs. This role will report to the Director of Compensation.

In this role, you will roll up your sleeves and work hands-on while simultaneously providing strategic direction in program management and design within a highly innovative and growth oriented  organization. Some problems this role may tackle include helping to design and implement an equitable pay-for-performance program, creating pay progression programs for our hourly roles, leading compensation education initiatives, helping to prepare for our Board of Director Compensation Committee meetings, and program managing our core Compensation processes (e.g., annual pay review, equity refresh cycles, job architecture updates).

YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU WILL...

• Have the opportunity to pioneer innovative approaches to compensation at a high-growth, publicly traded company
• Act as a Compensation Partner to both hourly and salaried functions, acting as an ambassador for our Compensation Philosophy
• Lead on-going compensation team programs/projects, including scoping, design, planning and execution. Identify and implement opportunities to build, evolve and automate current processes and programs.
