 Are you someone who thrives on turning raw data into meaningful insights? We’re looking for a Senior Compensation Data Analyst who can go beyond the operational side of HR and truly own the story behind the numbers.

This role is ideal for someone who loves working with large datasets, building structure from complexity, and influencing compensation strategy through analytics—not just process execution.

• Building dashboards and reports using tools like Power BI, Tableau, and advanced Excel (macros/formulas)
• Partnering across HR, Finance, and business leadership to shape competitive, equitable pay strategies

Qualifications:

• Strong experience working with raw data, consolidation, and data storytelling
• Expertise in compensation analysis and survey benchmarking
• Advanced technical skills in Excel (macros), data modeling, and visualization tools
• A strategic thinker who understands compensation philosophy and global structures
• Someone who prefers data-driven problem solving over transactional HR processes

This is a high-impact, global role supporting compensation programs across multiple regions.
