• Hands-on experience participating in and analyzing compensation surveys and benchmarking data (Radford, Mercer, Pave, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience managing a compensation review cycle end to end, from design through execution and manager communication.
• Solid understanding of compensation program design across multiple geographies, including the trade-offs between global consistency and local market competitiveness.
