• Analyze compensation data, market benchmarks, and internal trends to support informed reward decisions and executive recommendations.
• Prepare presentations, supporting analyses, and milestone plans for Compensation Committee and Board-level review sessions.
• Manage compensation-related workstreams tied to mergers, acquisitions, or organizational changes, ensuring sequencing and execution remain on track.
• Partner with HR and business leaders to support year-end compensation cycles, including planning, modeling, and decision support.
• Provide subject matter expertise on stock-based compensation programs and help guide administration and program effectiveness.
• Contribute insight on benefits and total rewards considerations, including coordination points that affect broader employee reward strategies.
• Support occasional travel to company locations as needed for stakeholder meetings and program alignment discussions.
