Either way, this is your opportunity to move from supporting HR decisions to shaping them.

DMV's Human Resources team is looking for a Classification & Compensation Consultant who is ready to become the go-to resource on how jobs are structured and how employees are paid across one of the largest and most visible agencies in the Commonwealth. You'll build specialized expertise in one of the most in-demand areas of HR, work directly with managers across the agency, and see the real impact of your work on employees' careers and paychecks.

Grow up or grow across. For those seeking advancement, this role is a meaningful step up in responsibility and influence. For experienced HR professionals, it's a chance to add a specialty to your toolkit and broaden your career options without starting over.

Your HR experience counts here. If you've worked in recruitment, you understand how pay decisions affect hiring. If you've worked in employee relations, you know how classification concerns surface. If you've worked in benefits or operations, you know the systems and policies. All of it transfers.

Specialized expertise that travels. Classification and compensation skills are among the most valued in public and private sector HR. The analysis, benchmarking, and policy application you'll do here will strengthen your profile for years to come.

A seat at the table. You'll partner with managers and supervisors, advise HR colleagues, and collaborate with Talent Acquisition on pay decisions. Your recommendations will carry weight.

Help shape career paths. You'll support DMV's Upshift and career pathing efforts, contributing to work that helps employees see where their careers can go.

A team invested in your growth. You’ll join a Human Resources division committed to consistency, accuracy, and problem-solving, with colleagues who share knowledge and support one another. At DMV, growth doesn't always require changing jobs. Upshift, our in-house career progression program, sets clear, well-defined criteria for advancing within your current working title, so you’ll always know what proficiencies to build next.

Hiring range: $70,975 to $81,621. Earning potential within this title: up to $92,267.

Job Analysis and Evaluation. Evaluate new and existing positions to ensure they are classified correctly. Partner with managers to develop and revise Position Descriptions, including role title, working title, SOC code, and FLSA status. Conduct job evaluations and complete crosswalks, document your recommendations, and communicate outcomes clearly.

Compensation Administration. Help administer DMV's compensation program in line with Commonwealth policy and agency practice. Review salary requests and build defensible, data-based salary analyses in Excel for individual pay recommendations, working title benchmarking, and agency compensation studies. Document pay actions on the Pay Action Worksheet and keep data accurate in Cardinal, Page Up, and internal reports. Serve as a resource to HR staff, managers, and Talent Acquisition on pay determinations and adjustments.

Compensation Request Management. Own the Compensation mailbox and tracker, responding to inquiries, routing requests, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
