Position

Description:

At PAR Technology, we’re reimagining how Total Rewards drives performance and growth across a global SaaS organization. As we scale, we’re looking for a Senior Compensation Analyst who combines deep analytical skill with a builder’s mindset. Someone who can design, model, and operationalize compensation programs that align with business strategy and scale across the company.

This role is ideal for a high-performing compensation professional who wants to go beyond analysis and truly shape how rewards work by applying their analysis and key insights to design compensation “products” that deliver measurable value to employees, leaders, and the business.

Position Location:

Hybrid - Syracuse, NY

This role operates in a hybrid capacity, with flexibility to work remotely and onsite as business needs dictate. There are no mandated office days; rather, the global rewards team will exercise judgment in determining when in-person presence adds value. Occasional in-person meetings, leadership sessions, and team events will take place in the Syracuse or other company global locations.

Reports To:

Global Director, Total Rewards

What We’re Looking For:

• 5–8 years of experience in compensation, rewards, or HR analytics in a complex or high-growth organization.

• Strong analytical and modeling skills with deep Excel proficiency; familiarity with HRIS and analytics tools (e.g., ADP, Power BI, Radford, Mercer, ERI).

• Experience supporting executive compensation programs and preparing data and presentations for Compensation Committee and Board-level discussions.

• Experience using AI and automation tools to enhance analysis, streamline processes, and generate insights that drive better compensation decisions.

• Ability to translate data into actionable insights and communicate findings clearly to non-technical audiences.

• Experience supporting or leading compensation cycles, job architecture projects, or incentive plan design.

• Proficiency in compensation survey selection, participation, and analysis

• A builder’s mindset — able to design compensation tools and frameworks that are scalable, repeatable, and user-friendly.

• Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills; thrives in environments where collaboration and iteration are the norm.

• Excellent attention to detail, business acumen, and comfort working across multiple countries and functions.

What you will be doing and owning:
