The Senior Compensation & Project Manager is a hybrid role responsible for strategic, enterprise-wide projects (designing, modeling, and scaling global compensation programs across all business segments globally), as well as coordinating the project management needs for the Global Compensation Team. This role requires a balance of analytical compensation expertise and rigorous project management. You will serve as the strategic engine driving the end-to-end execution of pay program redesigns, compensation cycle improvement initiatives and other key deliverables.
