About this role

This role is for one of our clients

Compensation: $50 - $200 per hour

We're looking for Total Rewards practitioners with depth in one or both of the following. Either one on its own is enough.

Requirements

  • Compensation design & architecture

  • Built salary bands, leveling frameworks, and job architecture from the ground up

  • Owned an annual compensation cycle: merit planning, promotion decisions, bonus programs, equity refresh

  • Benchmarked against a peer set you then had to defend to a skeptical exec team

  • Designed incentive structures that were simple, credible, and changed behavior

  • Equity program management

  • Designed option and RSU programs: grant guidelines, pool planning, vesting structures, refresh philosophy

  • Worked through 409A valuations, plan governance, and grant administration at a venture-backed company

  • Built the modeling and communication that lets candidates and employees understand what their equity is worth

  • Those two are what we screen on. Nothing below is required. If you have the whole Total Rewards picture, say so.

  • Also valuable

  • Compensation philosophy, benchmarking methodology, pay equity and pay transparency

  • Compensation design for a global or contractor workforce at scale

  • Benefits program design, HRIS and compensation tooling

  • Executive compensation, plan governance, or equity through IPO readiness
