The Opportunity: Your Team, Your Impact

As the Senior Executive Compensation Consultant, you will serve as a strategic leader responsible for building and maintaining the governance, structure, and analytical foundation that supports executive compensation in a high-growth, public-company environment.

You will own the operating model for executive compensation governance, enabling disciplined planning for Compensation Committee meetings, regulatory disclosures, and annual filings. This is a high-visibility role that demands a rare blend of technical financial modeling and the executive-facing "polish" required to drive cross-functional alignment.

Key Responsibilities

Governance & Operating Model

• Own the Annual Calendar: Lead the planning for the Compensation Committee and key filing milestones, ensuring all materials, deliverables, and stakeholder coordination are executed with precision.

• Structure & Rigor: Establish clear decision frameworks, templates, and documentation standards to ensure executive compensation decisions are consistent, defensible, and audit-ready.

• Strategic Coordination: Partner closely with Legal, Finance, and external advisors to manage public-company disclosures and filings, including the Proxy/CD&A, 10-K, and 8-K.

Analysis & Equity Strategy

• Advanced Modeling: Build and maintain complex Excel-based models to support executive pay decisions, scenario planning, and burn-rate analysis.

• Equity Oversight: Manage equity guidelines and budget parameters in direct alignment with company strategy and evolving governance standards.

• Shareholder Engagement: Support research and preparation for shareholder meetings, focusing on executive compensation topics and "Say on Pay" readiness.

Process Excellence

• Scalability: Ensure all processes are documented, repeatable, and scalable as the organization evolves.

• Proactive Compliance: Anticipate upcoming governance, disclosure, and regulatory requirements, proactively preparing necessary materials and analyses.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 10+ years in Compensation, with 7+ years specifically in Executive Compensation within a public-company environment.

• Background: Experience within a Fortune 100 publicly traded company or a premier compensation consulting firm is required.

• Technical Mastery: Expert-level Excel and analytical skills (modeling, scenario analysis, and data validation).

• Communication: Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with senior executives and bring structure to complex, cross-functional work.

• Discretion: High judgment and attention to detail when managing highly confidential information.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive base salary with significant variable upside (Performance Bonus + Equity).

• Sign-on bonus and nationwide relocation assistance available.

• Opportunity to lead a "New Position" within a global technology powerhouse.
